More and more users are mobile devices that include advanced photographic capabilities, so you don’t have to carry a device. The world of technology has seen the rise of smartphones with increasingly high performance cameras, which in some cases can replace the classic low-cost compact. Until now, however, there were few devices with optical zoom, especially due to the bulkiness of this type of solution, which hampers the portability of the smartphone.
In this regard, Asus has unveiled its first smartphone featuring 3x optical zoom, the Asus ZenFone Zoom, a device all focused on the world of photography. The claim of this new device is to be the thinnest smartphone with 3x optical zoom in the world.
