Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom is now available outside China

Earlier this year, Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom smartphone was launched in China with 128GB inbuilt storage and 4GB of RAM. However, many were curious as to when the smartphone would be available in other countries.

While this has been the case, Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom smartphone has finally been made available in the U.S. also. The smartphone has been priced at $329 (approximately Rs. 21,300) and is already available via online retailers in the country as well as the official Asus U.S. site.

Strikingly, with this version of Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom, it seems the specifications have been downgraded. Notably, the company has launched the 3GB RAM and 32GB built-in storage variant in the U.S. and this certainly has resulted in the reduction of the launch price for the smartphone.

However, the company has also stated, "ZenFone 3 Zoom has an improved TriTech+ autofocus system with Dual Pixel technology as one of its three focusing technologies. Dual Pixel AF gets its name from the two-phase detection sensors located on each pixel that can detect the movement of subjects by analyzing the variations between the light rays hitting the two sensors."

Let's look at some of the features and specs of this smartphone.
