Along with ZenFone AR announced earlier, Asus also launched ZenFone 3 Zoom (ZE553KL), a mid-end Android smartphone that packs dual horizontally-aligned 12-megapixel cameras at the rear. So far, this is the first smartphone in the Asus “ZenFone” family to bear two cameras at the rear.
The first 12MP camera comes with LAF, PDAF, Sony IMX362 sensor and f/1.7 aperture, while the second camera do all the zooming. The ZenFone 3 Zoom runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box but Android Nougat update is expected to be release in the future which will bring along RAW image capture.
