Asus ZenFone Zoom Unboxing – Zooming Towards The Future For PHP 27k!

Have you ever taken a picture with your phone and cropped the image before sharing? (We bet you have, very many times.) Have you ever stood at a nice vantage point and shot a mediocre shot of that bird you saw on the tree? Have you ever taken a portrait of your friend only to see the rest of the background and their entire body in the frame, ruining the shot? Well, that’s a common problem among smartphone cameras today: they don’t have optical zooms. And while we’ve survived for some time without them, you still can’t ditch your point & shoots and DSLRs when travelling or doing more creative photography. But what if there was a way? Enter the Asus ZenFone Zoom, a thin smartphone with a cleverly designed 3x optical zoom lens. How that feat is achieved is through a remarkable periscoping lens design and mirror box. But you don’t really need to know all that technical stuff. Just check out our unboxing video embedded above and check out the specs below to learn more about it!
