Goondu review: Asus ZenFone Zoom S May 6th, 2017 | by Wilson Wong Cellphones 5

 

In the ZenFone Zoom S, Asus has tried to ramp things up in the imaging department at a relatively modest price point. In many ways, it has succeeded in this.

Asus Zenfone Zoom review

 

Asus' Zenfone Zoom should be a photographer's dream phone, but it takes average pictures.

Asus’ Zenfone Zoom has a pretty decent camera at a price tag of $400. But you’re buying the phone, not just the camera bump.

Asus Zenfone Zoom: Close Encounters

 

The Hoya 3x optical zoom rocks--inside a near-flat body--but the images don't

Compact optical zoom, Nice leather back, Performs smoothly

A bit heavy, Screen quality doesn’t match price, A bit expensive, Image quality not top-of-line

ASUS ZenFone Zoom Review: 3x Optical Zoom On A Phone That Would Still Be Good Without It

 

It wasn't long ago that ASUS, while beloved by many on the desktop computing scene, was hardly a player when it came to smartphones. Some early

Camera ; The Zoom mostly delivers on its promise of a top-notch camera. ; Battery life ; The 3000mAh battery is good-not-great in terms of raw capacity, but OS optimizations make charging an every other day activity. ; Performance ; The 64-bit Intel...

Display ; It’s big, it looks nice and gets brighter than cheaper ZenFone variants, but we’re rapidly approaching a point where 1080p on 5.5” canvas is budget quality. ; Faux ; Cheap leather ; I’m not a fan of plastic, but I’d prefer the high-quality...

ASUS has made a nice phone here and to be perfectly honest I was operating under the assumption that it was far more expensive when I began testing it out. What a pleasant surprise to see it is more along the high-midrange, which helps to justify some...

Asus Zenfone Zoom Review – Zenfone2 + a mini point-and-shoot

 

Asus Zenfone Zoom has a 13MP camera with 3x optical zoom. The phone is priced much higher for its segment at 37,999 in India but it depends on how much of extra cash

• Tough and unique build ; • Intelligent lens arrangement ; • Fast and full time AF on video rec ; • 128GB on board storage

• Heavy and pricey ; • Average battery backup

Asus Zenfone Zoom is a phone known for its zoom capability and it surely dominates the market on this factor. Though it’s a metal build Zenfone 2 at its core, even on the camera front (unless you use the optical zoom), the lens arrangement has surely...

Asus Zenfone Zoom #ExpressReview: Closer doesn’t mean clearer

 

Asus Zenfone Zoom does zoom in well with its camera but it fails to deliver a stellar battery and the camera UI is confusing at best

If you want a phone which lets you focus from afar on an object, the Asus Zenfone Zoom is currently the only option in the market.
