Verdict
ASUS showcased the ZenFone Zoom back at CES 2015, but finally released the smartphone this year. The device is a bold effort from the Taiwanese company, as unlike its previous offerings which were targeting the voluminous budget and mid-range segments, it’s now competing in the flagship category with its sticker price of Rs 37,999. The company is also bundling the phone with a tripod and the Zenflash and retailing it at Rs 39,999.The smartphone is aimed at photography enthusiasts, and while it does has an array of tricks up its sleeve to offer good images, the quality leaves a lot to be desi...

Design: premium additions to the familiar looks
+
A couple of years ago, we used to rebuke Samsung for not putting enough effort when it comes to the design language of its offerings, since almost all of them, be it an entry-level phone or a high-end handset, looked exactly the same. While, 2015 marked a year of change for the Korean giant, the issue of similar-looking phones seems to be plaguing ASUS now.

Display: looms large
+
Just like its progenitor, the ZenFone 2, the Zoom is fitted with a display panel measuring 5.5-inches. The IPS panel bears a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, which results in crisp text and images. The colour reproduction of the phone is good too, and so are the viewing angles. While brightness levels seem to be fine, at times, we find it difficult to read the display under sunlight when it was set to automatic. However, manually boosting the brightness to the max did help a little in making the display legible.

Software: not as Zen-like as you'd want
+
The ASUS ZenFone Zoom comes loaded with brand’s custom skin dubbed ZenUI layered on top of Android 5.0 Lollipop. The OS and its features aren’t much different from what we found on the ZenFone 2, and hence we won’t go into too many details.

Camera: impressive zooming capabilities, but not image quality
+
The halo feature of the ASUS ZenFone Zoom is its camera capabilities. It packs in some interesting photography-centric hardware to ensure that this is all you need for your shooting needs. The phablet sports a 13-megapixel sensor from Panasonic along with Hoya’s 10-element lens. The optically-stabilised camera also gets 3x optical zoom, making it among the rare options in the smartphone market with this capability. The camera also features an adjustable aperture ranging between f/2.7 to f/4.8. With laser autofocus, the camera can focus on the subject in less than 0.03 seconds.

Performance: speed thrills, but kills (the battery life)
+
The ZenFone 2’s claim to fame was being the world’s first smartphone to offer 4 gigs of RAM. Being the latest flagship from ASUS’ stable, the ZenFone Zoom not only packs 4GB RAM for smoother multitasking experience, but also comes with a better processor than its progenitor. The device is equipped with Intel Z3590, a 64-bit CPU offering four cores clocked at 2.5GHz. The combination is not only powerful on paper, but in real life too. The smartphone can handle any task thrown at it with ease, and can switch between apps in a jiffy.
