ASUS held a short 20-minute presentation today where it showed off the new generation Zenfone. This year in
To make it even more convenient to use your phonewith one hand, ASUS has built a touch zone into the fingerprint scanner, combined with the lock button. With it, you can scroll through lists, open the "curtain" and so on. There are also more traditional features: gestures by tapping on the lid and a menu of favorite applications, opened with a swipe from the end. Using the phone with one hand can be relevant in the context of extreme hobbies - for such scenarios, water protection and a branded case for attaching to a backpack belt are also provided for such scenarios. It holds the phone on a tether to keep it from falling if you accidentally drop it.
Improvements in the camera are also aimed at extreme people.Shirik and the selfie module remained unchanged, but the main camera was powerfully pumped. It is now based on a 50 MP IMX766 sensor and equipped with a six-axis gimbal stabilization system that can correct deviations up to 3 degrees. EIS also works on top of it, and ASUS says that it “used the best algorithms it could find” (apparently, they didn’t even try to develop in this area). The camera also received a new Light Trail mode; the company praises him very much, but does not explain what it is.
The hardware, of course, is top-end:Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, up to 16 GB RAM and up to 256 GB ROM. The screen has not changed significantly since last year: 5.9″, 2400×1080 pixels, 120 Hz, AMOLED made by Samsung. ASUS has not forgotten about the audio component: the microphones support OZO Audio technology, and the stereo speakers are tuned by Dirac. There is also a 3.5 mm headphone jack, which is often removed from larger flagships due to “not enough space.” At the same time, the battery was also increased – up to 4300 mAh. But there was not enough space for the controller for fast charging - only 30 W. At the same time, the charger is included, as is the case. The price of the minimum version for 8+128 GB is 799 euros (49,000 rubles). There is a discount of 70 euros until August 21st.
