hey remember the zenfone zoom from CES n MWC it's still around and it's still not officially released but we did get the opportunity to go hands-on for the first time at Aoife 2015 so we thought we'd share the experience brief as it was I'm Michael Fisher with PocketNow and high auto houston's behind the camera this is a quick look at the Isuzu phone zoom if you've seen the earlier rundowns there's nothing really different here but that doesn't make it any less impressive on the front this may as well be a higher-end zenfone 2 with 4 gigs of ram up to 128 gigs of internal storage microSD expansion and the brand-new intel z 35 90 clocked at 2.5 gigahertz the battery is a fairly large 3000 milliamp hours which combined with the middle-of-the-road 1080p resolution of the five and a half inch display should lead a pretty solid battery life but you know what they say zenfone in the front zoom in the back this phone is all about that camera which in this case is a 13 megapixel Panasonic's smart FSI sensor with a 10 element high lens optical stabilization laser-assisted autofocus a dual tone flash and a special design that allows for three times optical zoom without the need for a protruding lens along with the usual asou software perks like super resolution low-light and so on this Hardware should make for a solid camera experience in theory anyway we weren't allowed to take any test shots of our own just yet will the camera experience be worth the bulky build well call me a weirdo but I really like the zooms feel in hand it's huge camera crater shiny aluminum trim and 185 gram mass suggests a blend of galaxy note 2 Lumia 1020 and HTC One m8 yeah it's a strange combination but it sure feels like a winning one whether the reality lives up to the feeling it will have to wait for the full review to find out have you seen the new Zen watch yet we've gotten all handsy with it so check it out here on the tube then follow all the coverage from Aoife 2015 from a soos and everyone else at pocketnow.com til next time this has been michael fisher and Hayatou huesemann for PocketNow thanks for watching we'll see you later
