ASUS has finally unveiled the ASUS Zenfone 4. It
features a dual rear camera system with optical image stabilization and RAW
support. It also got a boost in specs including a Snapdragon 630 chipset, 4GB
of RAM, Hi-Fi audio via DTS and a fast charging 3300 mAh battery.
ASUS boasts about the dual rear cameras of the ASUS
Zenfone 4. The system has a 12.0 Megapixel primary image sensor – a Sony IMX362
with f/1.8 aperture and an 8.0 Megapixel secondary image sensor with wide field
of view.
Together, the system can switch from 120-degree to
an ultra-wide 180-degree field of view. Of course, bokeh effects can be
achieved too. More features are unlocked when using the PRO mode for saving
photos as RAW files. There’s also another 8.0 Megapixel camera on the front to
take care of selfies. It’s equipped with beautification software for both
photos and live videos.
The ASUS Zenfone 4 is housed in an all-metal body
with narrow side bezels. The company is also proud that there is no camera bump
at the back of the phone. It also flaunts a 5.5-inch full HD IPS display with
up to 600 nits of brightness. A scratch resistant layer of Gorilla Glass 4
protects the screen. Three color options are available for the device – white,
mint green and black.
Two variants of the Zenfone 4 are available – the
4GB RAM variant with Snapdragon 630 and a 6GB RAM variant with the Snapdragon
660 chipset. Both are dual SIM smartphones with 4G LTE connectivity including
the 700MHz band. There’s dual band Wi-Fi too, Bluetooth version 5.0, NFC and a
USB Type-C port.
The ASUS Zenfone 4 is powered by a 3300 mAh battery
that the company claims lasts for up to 18 hours of web browsing. Re-charging
the battery uses the ASUS BoostMaster technology. This transfers 15W of power
to the device in order to achieve 50% charge in just 36 minutes.
