Asus' ZenFone Zoom breaks new ground with a built-in optical zoom camera that doesn't stick out or appear to move. Photos taken are generally great, but worse in low light
The phone software peppers you with ads by default. Camera performance feels sluggish
The Asus ZenFone Zoom puts cool new camera tech to work, but its bloated software and poor overall performance keep it from being a phone you'd want to buy...
When I reflect on everything that the ZenFone Zoom offers and then recall its asking price of $399, I can't help but think that the value is great. I could most definitely replace my daily driver flagship phone (which costs almost twice as much) and not r...
Amazing performance, Great battery life, Leather back feels nice, Shutter buttons rock
Camera bump adds bulk, Camera sensor is mediocre, Software is filled with bloat, Android 5.0 in 2016 is unacceptable
Clever hardware elevates an already great phone line even higher, but the execution stumbles a bit.The quick takeASUS has taken the the already impressive ZenFone 2 and turned it into something fun for anyone who enjoys the control of a DSLR camera but is...
Amazing performance, Great battery life, Leather back feels nice, Shutter buttons rock
Camera bump adds bulk, Camera sensor is mediocre, Software is filled with bloat, Android 5.0 in 2016 is unacceptable
For the not-so-low price of $400, ASUS is delivering a phone with outdated software with a focus on a camera that isn't as capable as similarly priced phones. While it's possible ASUS could quickly update to Marshmallow in the next month or two, it's unli...
3x optical zoom, Manual camera controls, Premium build
Sluggish camera app, No 4K video, Unimpressive battery life, Dated UI with heavy skin and lots of bloatware
The Asus ZenFone Zoom is a camera-centric unlocked phone with a 3x optical zoom lens, but it's held back by average sensor quality, a slow camera app, and a lack of 4K video recording...

Premium look and feel, microSD card support, Great dedicated shutter button
The camera itself is lacking, Too many useless apps, Average battery life
More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...

Rear camera has 3x optical zoom, Dedicated camera controls, Built-in manual photo mode, Removable leather back, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage come standard
White balance issues with camera, Subpar battery life, Mediocre audio, Clunky interface
Under the right circumstances, the ZenFone Zoom really shines, with an impressive optical zoom and dedicated camera buttons that I wish more phone makers would emulate. But the phone's lackluster image processing can make that optical zoom feel more like...
3x optical zoom gets us closer to a shot, Rich set of shooting modes & controls, Relatively slim profile, Premium design, Fast recharge time, Snappy processing performance, Not terribly expensive at $399
No major improvements to image quality, No 4K UHD video recording option, Video stabilization is limited to 720p mode, Lack of continuous autofocus, Extremely cold screen color temperature, Washed out looking screen
Asus established itself as a formidable competitor in the mid-range segment with the introduction and release of its ZenFone 2 last year. Since that time, they've diversified its ZenFone line with an assortment of variants – including this latest one in t...

Impressive camera, Massive internal storage
Unconfirmed for the UK, Middling design
We don't yet know whether the Zenfone Zoom is destined for the UK, but the continued dialogue Asus strikes up with such a standout device makes us think that it wants to be considered a serious player in the space of high-end camera phones, much like Micr...
Slick design, Thoughtful button placement, Some neat ZenUI features, Slight reduction of photo noise
Squishy button action, Questionable value, Subpar screen, ZenUI hurts more than helps, Camera doesn't rock the boat
Asus adds svelte styling and a 3x optical zoom snapper to the ZenFone 2. While the new traits are welcomed, neither makes a convincing enough argument to make this your next phone...
