Good cameras on ZenFone 3?


For this article, we'll focus on one thing, the cameras of the Asus ZenFone 3 that's super improved in terms of hardware and features.

It now has a 16 MP Sony IMX298 main camera at f/2.0 complete with the modern smartphone optics features such as 6 element lens, tri-tech autofocus (laser, PDAF, and continuous AF), 4 Axis OIS (optical image stabilization) / 3 Axis EIS (electronic image stabilization) that's great for videos, and dual tone LED flash.

In front, there's an 8 MP snapper that's great for selfies and groufies due to its wide angle lens.

We haven't fully explored the 1080p w/ OIS / EIS and 4K without OIS video capability of the ZenFone 3 yet so here's a sample time-lapse first. It took us 15 mins to produce a 30 second time-lapse shot.

As of the moment

I'm in love with the photos captured by the ZenFone 3. It has a very different color tone coming from the ZenFone 2 that's now more balanced and sharper. It's still punchy and vibrant looking which also reminds me of the modern flagship smartphone cameras.

Initially, even when compared against the OnePlus 3 with the same main camera sensor, we like the implementation of Asus a little better than that flagship. As a matter of fact, its color even reminds me of the Samsung Galaxy S6, that's something remarkable for a midrange phone.

Watch out for our full review soon where we will briefly compare its camera with several high-end flagships we have like the Note 7, Huawei P9 Plus, and Nexus 6P. We'll also showcase there its 4K full video recording prowess.

Stay tuned!
