Asus on Thursday announced a new smartphone dedicated to photography enthusiasts called the ZenFone Zoom S. This is said to be the Indian version of the ZenFone 3 Zoom. The smartphone comes with advanced dual 12-megapixel rear cameras with 2.3X true optical zoom and 12X total zoom which will allow users to capture distant objects clearly and "delivers photographic perfection". The new ZenFone Zoom S comes with a price tag of Rs 26,999 and will be available exclusively on Flipkart. ZenFone Zoom S comes in two colour options -- navy black and glacier silver. Both will be available on Flipkart.

The ZenFone Zoom S features two cameras at the back, where one camera includes 12-megapixel SONY IMX362 sensor which is coupled with an f/1.7-aperture, 25mm wide-angle main lens. While the second camera comes with a dedicated 59mm, 12-megapixel zoom sensor which comes with an instant 2.3X true optical zoom and 12X of total zoom. "This setup ensures sharp focus on subjects at any distance," notes Asus.

The smartphone also comes with ASUS SuperPixel Camera which allow users to shoot clear photos in night-time or in low-light situation. "The SuperPixel Camera comes combined with advanced hardware and software enhancement by ASUS SuperPixel technology and let users achieve light sensitivity that is 2.5 times (2.5X) greater than that of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, and 10X that of an average smartphone," mentions Asus. The phone also features Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) to capture photos and 4K videos.

Another key highlight of the device is its battery set up. ZenFone Zoom S houses a massive 5000mAh battery which is said to deliver 6.4 hours of continuous 4K UHD video recording and an outstanding 42 days of standby time. The phone is also claimed to work as a power bank to charge other devices.

On the front, the ZenFone Zoom S features a 13-megapixel SONY IMX214 sensor which is coupled with an f/2.0 aperture lens. The front camera is said to expertise at shooting high-resolution selfies. The ASUS SuperPixel technology provides twice the light sensitivity while clicking selfies. The front camera also comes with a new 'screen flash' mode that uses the display as a flash in low-light situation for better outcome. 

ZenFone Zoom S features a full metal body and a 5.5-inch Full HD AMOLED display. Although the phone comes with a massive battery it weighs a mere 170 grams. This makes the "ZenFone Zoom S the world's thinnest and lightest 5.5-inch smartphone sporting a Dual Camera setup with 5000mAh battery." The screen of the phone is further protected with a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 that is claimed to be up to 70 per cent-more resistant to drop damage compared to the previous Gorilla Glass generation. This makes the ZenFone Zoom 3 a strong phone. It also features a blue-light filter that prevents eye strain over long periods of viewing.

The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 625 14nm processor which makes the ZenFone Zoom S a really power efficient performer. The device comes with a 5-Magnet speaker that is boosted by an NXP SmartAMP to deliver "clear, crisp and full Sound even at loud volume levels". For headphone audio, the ZenFone Zoom S is HiRes certified which means that the phone can playback lossless audio formats with ease at 192kHz/24-bit and deliver 4X better audio quality than CD Audio.

The fingerprint sensor is placed at the back side of the ZenFone Zoom S. The company claims that the fingerprint sensor can unlock the device in 360 degrees, 5 finger recognitions and also allows users to receive calls directly by swiping the registered finger directly at the lock screen.
