“The brand-new dual cameras on ZenFone 4 Series can be switched to different focal lengths with a single button — it's really straightforward, and fast! With the enhanced light sensitivity of the sensor, ZenFone 4 Series is very effective at capturing more light, and HDR mode captures clear detail even in backlit or high-contrast environments. ZenFone 4 Series also has a slow-motion mode that records videos at high speed and plays them back at a much slower speed. It's a really enjoyable and fun feature!”

“As well the brilliant low-light performance — introduced in the ZenFone 3 Series — ZenFone 4 now lets me capture the wide beauty of the Earth, effortlessly.

“ZenFone 4 has a fingerprint sensor and cameras that blend perfectly into the body design. The smooth and luxurious texture is enchanting, and I never tire of it! My favorite feature is the dual camera system with its standard and wide-angle lenses — this lets me choose different viewpoints for a wide variety of photo styles. I feel like I have a pocket-size DSLR! Another striking feature is how bright the world looks through the F1.8 wide-aperture lens (or F1.7 in ZenFone 4 Pro). This has about 5x-better light sensitivity than previous models, and also is much less noisy. It's an impressive evolution from “not a pretty sight” to “wonderful!”, and I'm delighted with the high-resolution, low-noise performance in all situations. As well as the impressive camera hardware, I've been surprised by the great CPU performance when I do photo editing. With just my ZenFone 4, I can create fabulous archives of my memories and share them in superb quality!”

Pierre Caillault

His talent for unique rare captures of light and atmosphere inspire his portfolio with a sense of the poetry, mystic and bold.

“Working with the ZenFone 4 series is a delight. The “camera part” of the smartphone offers good, fast and stabilized optics associated to top notch sensors making it easy to capture the right moment on the street or in the countryside. The ability to use the “Pro” mode to take full manual control of the camera helps dealing with almost every situation, and allows to record RAW pictures. The ZenFone 4 itself with its powerful Snapdragon processor is more than enough to edit those RAW pictures “on the go”, almost as well as on a desktop. What a powerful combination in a single ZenFone!”

“The new ZenFone 4, represents the new generation of ASUS mobile devices, with highly innovative features and yet offering more value-for-less money. One of the first few camera phones to offer a super wide-angle camera, ZenFone 4 covers a massive 120 degrees in the secondary rear camera, I can now capture wider vistas that are unparalleled! ZenFone 4 continues an amazing legacy of great ZenFones by having an amazing battery life that lasts longer than similar capacity phones.”

Kelvin Yuen

Hong Kong

Kelvin Yuen was still a student at Hong Kong Baptist University when one of his photographs won a National Geographic Contest. Not only was it a huge achievement for someone his age, but even more staggering was that he had only picked up a camera few years prior. His winning shot was taken of Kowloon Peak, a 602-metre tall mountain in one of Hong Kong's country parks, which is close to where he lives. His panache for landscape photography has since caught the eye of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, which uses his services as a photography consultant.

“ZenFone 4 camera performance is out of my expectation in normal smartphone, as it provides long exposure function which can take high quality night view photo and it contains wide angle and standard lens for change to increase flexibility during shooting in different environments whatever narrow or wide area.”
