Both phones will be introduced in mid-May.
After not releasing a new mobile phone for a long time, ASUS Indonesia will certainly be stretching again this May. ASUS Indonesia will launch two of their latest flagship products, both of which are confirmed to be the ASUS Zenfone Zoom S and ASUS Zenfone Live on May 16.
ASUS Zenfone Zoom S
The first product that will come later is the ASUS Zenfone Zoom S. Actually this phone is another name for other ASUS products namely the ASUS Zenfone 3 Zoom. But if examined deeper, between the two phones it turns out to have differences. On Zenfone 3 Zoom, it is equipped with the latest operating system from Google, Android 7.0 Nougat. While in Zenfone Zoom S is still stuck in the Android operating system 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
The rest, the two phones share this thing in common. Zenfone Zoom S relies on the camera as the main attraction. This phone is equipped with two twin cameras behind the Sony IMX 362 sensor with 12 megapixel resolution with f / 1.7 aperture. Moreover, the rear camera of the Zenfone Zoom S can also carry optical magnification up to 2.3 times and a total of 12 times combined with digital zoom. The front camera is equally flashy, this ZE553KL model phone has a front camera with a Sony IMX 214 sensor with a 13 megapixel resolution. Zenfone Zoom S will target the middle and upper segments, with an estimated price tag of a level above Zenfone 3 (ZE552KL) estimated at 5.5 million rupiah.
Unlike the Zenfone Zoom S which is superior in terms of the rear camera, Zenfone Live actually shows off its capabilities on the front camera. As the name implies this cell phone is staying as a livestreaming cell phone, which will emphasize optimization so that users feel confident when shooting using the front camera. Zenfone Live has a 5 megapixel front camera with various supporting features such as BeautyLive that allows you to apply virtual make-up live. There is also an LED flash and the front camera opening is f / 2.2 with a pixel size reaching 1.4 μm. Zenfone Live will be placed by ASUS Indonesia as a low-end cellphone and has an estimated price of 2 million.
Interestingly, it turns out before officially launching ASUS Indonesia has also pre-ordered this for Zenfone Live, while for Zenfone Zoom S prospective buyers should be a little patient because there is only a menu option to give a notification when the item is ready.
