Asus Philippines gave us a chance to check it's early production version as early as January. Four months later, it finally arrived and definitely our first smartphone to observe with optical zoom plus more
Here is the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom and it's official box
I decided to make it short as you already saw the physical looks of the phone from my January's article. Aside from the box, it also has the SIM ejector tray, user manual, a number of earbuds with different sizes which go around on the included earphones, travel charger with 5V 2A (which I am expecting it to be better) but good thing, it already has regular USB to USB Type C cable.
From the overall packaging, I find it to be simple yet elegant. The mix of dark blue and black colors of Zenfone 3 Zoom really gives some edginess for me. Looks like the top and bottom has a bit of plastic for me yet the front display panel was beautiful for it's asking price.
I missed the chance to review their previous attempt for an optical zoom kind of a smartphone via their first Zenfone Zoom but things for me will be getting brighter for me for sure once I finish this review of the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom. Stay tuned
