Optical zoom in smartphones is not entirely an untouched category. Samsung also launched a camera centric version of the S4, labelled as s4 zoom/ K zoom. And makeshift optical lens kits that can be attached to smartphones also exist. But according to Asus, the Zenfone Zoom is different from previous phones because; “Zenfone Zoom is the world’s thinnest 3-x optical zoom smartphone with an innovative 10-element HOYA lens arrangement for crisp detail – and upto 12x total magnification”

The OIS provides the necessary stability to the user to capture clear pictures with upto total of 12x zoom(of which 3x is optical). The focus is touted to be of 0.03 seconds with Asus’ Laser focus. To provide a quick access to this imaging power Asus provides real(hardware) camera buttons to shoot/record.
