Zenfone 3 Zoom Price in the Philippines,Specs, News and Future Reviews

January 05, 2017

Two months ago, I decided to finally replace my Samsung phone because of new spreading online about a lot of devices exploding while charging. I was alarmed and quite turned off with Samsung that is why I tried a different brand of mobile device; I bought myself a Zenfone 3 5.5 and I love it! What I love the most is its camera that I use for my OOTD's and food photography for my Instagram account. By the way, you might want to read my post about my Zenfone 3 5.5 manual camera settings that you can use to capture fascinating images as if you use a DSLR camera.

Today, I saw the first release photo of the newest model of Asus; Zenfone 3 Zoom. If Zenfone 3 5.5 is built for music lovers and photographers and if you like Zenfone 3 because of its main feature, I am sure you will also fall in love more with Zenfone 3 Zoom because of its high-quality features.

ZenFone 3 Zoom confines compromise to history. We’ve combined the industry’s best smartphone-camera technologies and innovative dual-lens optics with an outstanding 5000mAh battery and a power-saving Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S625 processor. The upshot is unparalleled smartphone photography ready to capture every scenario, the moment you need. Catch the Moment — ZenFone 3 Zoom.

For its specs, Zenfone 3 Zoom has a 5.5 inch full HD amoled display with corning gorilla glass 5 cover for durability. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 process with 4 GB of RAM and 28 GB storage configuration. I think this is also perfect for mobile gamers out there.

According to my sources, Asus will launch Zenfone 3 Zoom this coming February of 2017 (exact date is still unsure though) and also for the price here in the Philippines, according to yugatech, it will not be more than the price of Zenfone 3 5.5 which is 18,995 pesos. If this is true, I will definitely sell my newly purchased device for this.

ASUS Zenfone 3 Manual Camera Settings for Better Pictures (Beginner's Perspective)

November 20, 2016

I have been using ASUS Zenfone 3 5.5 for almost a month now and was able to try its amazing features but when it comes to some other things like its camera, I can say that I am still learning a lot of things about it especially using its manual settings. I always take pictures using its AUTO mode but there were times when I think that using the MANUAL mode can really make a big difference. One of which was last week during the Supermoon phenomena. I tried my best in capturing that huge bright moon, unfortunately, I did not have any decent shot unlike my friends who also use Zenfone.

By the way, I joined this group in Facebook where members share their tips in using their ASUS mobile phones. They also share some of their amazing shots of the supermoon and some star photography which was unbelievable. At first, I thought that some of the pictures were enhanced by Photoshop or whatever. While reading the member's posts, I read something about tweaking the manual camera mode's ISO and Shutter speed but during that time, I don't have any idea what they were talking about.

So I searched some of the important things to remember when you are using your camera's manual settings. I think this is not for ASUS Zenfone 3 users only but also for any phones that has the same camera feature.

In general, there are 5 things that you can tweak on your camera's manual setting. These are the ones below:

White Balance
Exposure Value
ISO (Photosensitivity)
Shutter Speed
Focus

WHITE BALANCE

This is to balance the photo's temperature. You can tweak it it so that the photo can look warmer or colder. Has something to do with yellowish and bluish vibes when you capture images.

ISO (PHOTOSENSITIVITY)

This is one of the settings that I really want to focus on because I saw a photo of dark sky full of stars that was taken using Zenfone 3 devices and it was unbelievable! I think the owner set the ISO up to 3200 in order to achieve that image. It all makes sense now because high ISO works perfectly for low light subject (even no light at all!).

SHUTTER SPEED

The first time that I tried tweaking shutter speed is when I was stuck in traffic and the result was weird. LOL! But if you will be able to use it properly, you can achieve amazing photos with moving objects like this one below.

FOCUS

This is the easiest setting because I use this a lot since I love taking macro shots! It is also fun to play with! If you are a blogger, especially a food blogger, this is something you must know by heart to capture those tiny details.

I am not able to explain some of the things that we can play with in our ASUS phone because I really don't understand how they work so if you have some tips, feel free to share it with us!

Before I end this post, I just want to share some of the photos I took while I am on vacation in Zambales.
