Deal: Amazon is selling the Asus ZenFone Zoom for $249 ($150 off)

Amazon's Countdown to Black Friday Deals Week has been going on pretty much ever since the beginning of November, and it's already been home to some pretty solid offerings. One of the most notable ones thus far has been the Nextbit Robin for just $169.99, but if you're in the market for something with a camera setup that's a bit more impressive (and certainly a lot more unique), we've got a feeling you might be interested in this deal.

As part of their Countdown to Black Friday promotion, Amazon is offering $150 off of the Asus ZenFone Zoom. This brings the cost of the phone down to $249 from $399, creating for a total savings of about 38%. Just what do you get for $249 though? First off, let's talk about the elephant in the room - the camera. The ZenFone Zoom features a 13MP camera on the back that is capable of delivering 3X optical zoom. This means that you're able to zoom in with the camera sensor up to three times without losing any photo quality, and it really is quite impressive that Asus was able to pack all that power into a relatively slim and trim body.

Other specs for the phone include a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 IPS display, quad-core Intel Atom processor clocked at 2.3GHz, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 3,000 mAh battery. Bundle all of that with the impressive camera system that the ZenFone Zoom is packing in, and you're looking at a rather attractive package for $249 - especially if you're a photography nut.

Asus to unveil Tango-enabled smartphone ZenFone AR at CES 2017


Asus has a Google Tango-enabled AR smartphone under wraps that will be unveiled at next year's CES, in Las Vegas. This has been confirmed by Asustek CEO Jerry Shen for Korean publication DigiTimes.


The upcoming smartphone, called ZenFone AR, will be powered by Google's augmented reality platform Tango and will launch sometime next year “at a competitive price”, Shen said. Not much else is known about the phone at this point, apart from the fact that it will have to meet some hardware requirements in order to support Tango. The platform requires a variety of sensors for advanced motion tracking and depth perception capabilities in order to create 3D environment data maps for a convincing AR experience.



As far as other specs go, if the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro, which is the first Tango-enabled phone, is anything to go by, we would say that the ZenFone AR will have at least 4 GB of RAM and rock a 2K or higher-res display. 



Asus also plans to expand its ZenFone series lineup with more devices in the second quarter of 2017, and launch a lineup VR devices in the third quarter that won't be focused on mobile VR, but will rather be all-in-ones, featuring built-in cameras, sensors, and other hardware. Asustek's VR headsets will “differentiate from models available on the market such as HTC Vive or Oculus Rift,” said Shen without providing further details.
