Asus ZenFone Zoom passes TENAA's testing; 3X optical zoom, OIS featured with 13MP rear camera
During CES last year, we told you about the Asus ZenFone Zoom, which was introduced at the event by Asus CEO Jerry Shen. The device features the thinnest 3X optical zoom module available on a phone, made by HOYA. The 13MP rear-facing camera on the Asus ZenFone Zoom features OIS, and a laser autofocus is also on board. With an aperture of f/2.0, photos can be taken under low-light conditions.
Today, the Asus ZenFone Zoom has been certified by Chinese regulatory agency TENAA. The phone is equipped with a 5.5-inch display, carrying a 1080 x 1920 resolution. An Intel Atom Z3580 chipset is under the hood, bringing a quad-core 2.3GHz CPU. There will be 2GB/4GB of RAM with storage options of 16GB/32GB/64GB and 128GB. A 64GB microSD slot is available for those requiring additional memory.
Besides the 13MP camera on back, there is a 5MP snapper in front for shooting selfies and handling video chats. Despite the optical zoom capabilities, the ZenFone Zoom measures 11.95mm at its thickest, and tips the scales at 185 grams. The model will be priced at $399.

Now that TENAA has taken its photos of the device, the Asus ZenFone Zoom should be launched very soon. Back in September at IFA, the phone was introduced once again by Asus, which gave us a chance to get some hands-on time with the handset. You can check it out by clicking here.
