Five magnets. Phenomenal audio.

We revolutionized smartphone audio output with ZenFone 2, employing the world’s best five-magnet smartphone speaker to produce unrivaled quality. With ZenFone 3, we’ve pushed our powerful five-magnet design further than ever for audiophile-grade quality levels. If you live for the details, then ZenFone 3’s new audio chamber powered by Smart AMP increases the sound pressure level to 94.5dB SPL, lowers the resonance frequency to 700Hz and reduces bass total harmonic distortion (THD) to just 7.5%. But if you just love to listen, then ZenFone 3’s mighty speaker is 20% louder, extends low frequencies by 17% and produces 42% fewer distortions when you whack up the bass — so listen louder, wider and deeper!
