Yes, you guessed it right, going by the name, the Asus ZenFone Zoom is designed with photography in mind and offers 3x optical zoom.
The ZenFone Zoom has smooth aluminium around the edges and sports textured leather back, which Asus claims is real.
At the right side of the phone is a power button and volume rocker along with dedicated record and camera buttons. These dedicated buttons surely add to the handling and steadiness of the device while recording a video or capturing a still image.
