No major improvements to image quality, No 4K UHD video recording option, Video stabilization is limited to 720p mode, Lack of continuous autofocus, Extremely cold screen color temperature, Washed out looking screen

Impressive camera, Massive internal storage
Unconfirmed for the UK, Middling design
We don't yet know whether the Zenfone Zoom is destined for the UK, but the continued dialogue Asus strikes up with such a standout device makes us think that it wants to be considered a serious player in the space of high-end camera phones, much like Micr...
For $399 (about £286, AU$554, though the ZenFone Zoom isn't available in these regions,) you're getting a good value. It comes unlocked, and rocks a unique design, with a strange mixture of build materials that works, somehow. The slick, leather back, ano
This phone is bulky. If not for the massive camera bump on the back, it would be much easier to pocket without feeling like your pants are about to rip. But taken as is, I'm not sure that many will want the big jump up in size and weight just to take slig
Similar to the "Shot on iPhone" ad campaign showcasing the stellar photos taken by the iPhone 6S, professionals will likely be able to work small wonders with the Zoom, too.The Zoom costs $100 more than the ZenFone 2, but is improved in ways that some may...
Dedicated camera buttons, Good battery life, ZenUI offers some customizability, Camera offers good details with zoom
Thick, Too much bloatware, Busy user interface, Camera sensor doesn't do zoom justice
Asus' Zenfone Zoom has a pretty decent camera at a price tag of $400. But you're buying the phone, not just the camera bump.For the price, the Zenfone Zoom certainly gets the job done without any stutters and hiccups. Its performance is comparable to the...
Slick design, Thoughtful button placement, Some neat ZenUI features, Slight reduction of photo noise
Squishy button action, Questionable value, Subpar screen, ZenUI hurts more than helps, Camera doesn't rock the boat
Asus adds svelte styling and a 3x optical zoom snapper to the ZenFone 2. While the new traits are welcomed, neither makes a convincing enough argument to make this your next phone...

The phone software peppers you with ads by default. Camera performance feels sluggish
The Asus ZenFone Zoom puts cool new camera tech to work, but its bloated software and poor overall performance keep it from being a phone you'd want to buy...

Abstract: Your phone has been lying to you. Every time you zoom in to catch that perfect shot of that expensive gourmet burger you're not actually zooming in. The software in your phone is really just cropping the image and blowing it up. To actually zoom your phon...
All told, we're really looking forward to giving the ZenFone Zoom a proper test run closer to its release date later this year. If that camera holds up it could be a real contender especially as Asus is planning to charge only $399 for it....
