The editors liked

  • For $399 (about £286
  • AU$554
  • Though the ZenFone Zoom isn't available in these regions
  • ) you're getting a good value. It comes unlocked
  • And rocks a unique design
  • With a strange mixture of build materials that works
  • Somehow. The slick
  • Leather back
  • Ano
  • Asus' ZenFone Zoom breaks new ground with a built-in optical zoom camera that doesn't stick out or appear to move. Photos taken are generally great
  • But worse in low light
  • Slick design
  • Thoughtful button placement
  • Some neat ZenUI features
  • Slight reduction of photo noise
  • Dedicated camera buttons
  • Good battery life
  • ZenUI offers some customizability
  • Camera offers good details with zoom

The editors didn't like

  • This phone is bulky. If not for the massive camera bump on the back
  • It would be much easier to pocket without feeling like your pants are about to rip. But taken as is
  • I'm not sure that many will want the big jump up in size and weight just to take slig
  • The phone software peppers you with ads by default. Camera performance feels sluggish
  • Squishy button action
  • Questionable value
  • Subpar screen
  • ZenUI hurts more than helps
  • Camera doesn't rock the boat
  • Thick
  • Too much bloatware
  • Busy user interface
  • Camera sensor doesn't do zoom justice

  • Similar to the "Shot on iPhone" ad campaign showcasing the stellar photos taken by the iPhone 6S, professionals will likely be able to work small wonders with the Zoom, too.The Zoom costs $100 more than the ZenFone 2, but is improved in ways that some may...

  • Dedicated camera buttons, Good battery life, ZenUI offers some customizability, Camera offers good details with zoom
  • Thick, Too much bloatware, Busy user interface, Camera sensor doesn't do zoom justice
  • 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.For the price, the Zenfone Zoom certainly gets the job done without any stutters and hiccups. Its performance is comparable to the...

  • Squishy button action, Questionable value, Subpar screen, ZenUI hurts more than helps, Camera doesn't rock the boat
  • Asus adds svelte styling and a 3x optical zoom snapper to the ZenFone 2. While the new traits are welcomed, neither makes a convincing enough argument to make this your next phone...

  • Abstract:  Your phone has been lying to you. Every time you zoom in to catch that perfect shot of that expensive gourmet burger you're not actually zooming in. The software in your phone is really just cropping the image and blowing it up. To actually zoom your phon...

  • All told, we're really looking forward to giving the ZenFone Zoom a proper test run closer to its release date later this year. If that camera holds up it could be a real contender especially as Asus is planning to charge only $399 for it....

  • Samsung Galaxy S7 edge easily wins the Zenfone Zoom as a smartphone, but for S$1098, it ought to. The ASUS Zenfone Zoom is priced a mere S$659 (the 128GB variant sells for S$729), but the hardware specs are comparable to the S7 edge: 4GB RAM, runs on 2.5G...

  • Abstract:  ASUS has been trying to make a mark in the US phone market for years, first with its hit-or-miss Padfone line and more recently with the budget-friendly ZenFone 2 . Then, for reasons nearly beyond comprehension, the company decided to shoehorn a zoom lens...

  • Cameracentric design with dedicated controls, Ample storage, Optical zoom, Powerful innards, Charges in a jiffy
  • Cluttered interface that's full of bloatware, Camera performance doesn't match rivals, Poor battery life
  • ASUS showcased the ZenFone Zoom back at CES 2015, but finally released the smartphone this year. The device is a bold effort from the Taiwanese company, as unlike its previous offerings which were targeting the voluminous budget and mid-range segments, it...
