ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom is now available in Malaysia. It’s a slim and light 5.5-inch smartphone with a high-capacity 5000mAh battery.

The phone features a dual-camera system. The main camera is an f/1.7-aperture, 25mm wide-angle main lens paired to a 12MP SONY IMX362 sensor with large 1.4µm pixels (1/2.55in sensor size); and a dedicated 59mm, 12MP zoom camera with an instant 2.3X optical zoom and a 12X total zoom; giving a sharp focus for subjects at any distance.

The front camera features a 13MP SONY IMX 214 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture lens that shoots high-resolution selfies. It also features a new ‘screen flash’ mode that uses the display as a flash in low-light environments.

ZenFone 3 Zoom also has the first ASUS SuperPixel Camera, achieving light sensitivity that is 2.5 times (2.5X) greater than that of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, and 10 times that of an average smartphone, for quick and clear snaps in night-time or low-light environments.

With a 5000mAh battery, you can get 6.4 hours of continuous 4K UHD video recording and an outstanding 42 days of standby time. The high-capacity battery also gives ZenFone 3 Zoom the ability to double up as a power bank to charge other devices. Powered by a powerful yet energy-efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 14nm processor, the phone packs all of that into a super-slim, 7.9mm full-metal chassis that weighs just 170 grams.

 ZenFone 3 Zoom has an improved ASUS TriTech+ autofocus system with new Dual Pixel PDAF technology. ASUS TriTech+ automatically chooses the best technology to use depending on the subject, and achieves focus in an amazingly fast 0.03 seconds — the world’s fastest autofocus. The phone also supports RAW files, and full manual mode for camera settings.

ZenFone 3 Zoom’s display is a 5.5-inch Full HD AMOLED panel with high 500cd/m² brightness for outdoor-readable images, and a color gamut that is more than 100% of the NTSC color space. It also features a blue-light filter that prevents eye strain over long periods of viewing. Fitted with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 display cover panel, it is 70%-more resistant to drop damage. It also comes with a rear fingerprint sensor.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom (ZE553KL) is already available in Malaysia in the Navy Black variant. The availability of the Glacier Silver and Rose Gold colour will come on a later date. The Malaysian recommended retail price is RM2099
