The Zenfone family just got bigger with the addition of the two new Zenfone smartphones that sports cool camera features. The first one is the ASUS Zenfone 3 Zoom which was first seen earlier this year while the other one is the ASUS Zenfone Live which is a smartphone that is made for livestreaming and selfies. The ASUS Zenfone 3 Zoom is the follow-up of last year’s ASUS Zenfone Zoom in where it didn’t get much attention as that smartphone have some flaws in the camera while the ASUS Zenfone Live is a brand new model in the series that can add beautification to livestreaming apps and selfies.
The ASUS Zenfone 3 Zoom packs a dual lens camera at the back and compared to the ASUS Zenfone Zoom, this one doesn’t have a big bulge at the back. The dual lens camera of the smartphone works similarly to the iPhone 7 Plus and yes, you could do 2.3x optical zooming on this smartphone and up to 12x digital zooming. I’ve been using this smartphone and yes, it’s really good one. Aside from that, the smartphone also packs a decent 5000mah of battery that would make sure that your smartphone can last up to a whole day.
While the other Zenfone is the ASUS Zenfone Live. This affordable is very special because the ASUS Zenfone Live lets you add beautification real time even on livestream. This feature works on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
Despite this awesome features, the ASUS Zenfone Live packs a kinda old hardware as this one still sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor which is a little bit old in today’s standards. Nonetheless. the ASUS Zenfone Live would be enticing to people who are into selfies and loves to do livestreaming.
The ASUS Zenfone 3 Zoom is priced at P23,995 while the ASUS Zenfone Live is priced at P6,995. Both are available this April.
