family is the first family of smartphones to all feature dual rear
cameras, enabling users to capture the best photos in any scenario, at

ZenFone 4 Pro: 10X zoom, 8X light sensitivity, 6GB RAM
ZenFone 4 Pro: 10X zoom, 8X light sensitivity, 6GB RAM
The 5.5" ZenFone 4 Pro was engineered to deliver an unparalleled mobile
photography experience. The ZenFone 4 Pro features an advanced
dual-camera system designed to take mobile photography to new heights.
Its main camera is equipped with the Sony® IMX362 image sensor with a
large 1/2.55-inch size, 1.4µm pixels and a wide, f/1.7-aperture lens to
capture brighter and clearer photos in low light. The dual-camera system
on the ZenFone 4 Pro also has a 16MP camera with a 2X optical zoom and a
10X total zoom that brings distant subjects closer, putting them in
sharp focus while softening background details. Together with the ASUS
SuperPixel™ Engine that effectively increases captured light by up to
8X, and optical image stabilization (OIS) that enables blur-free
handheld exposures of up to 1/4 seconds, the ZenFone 4 Pro captures
sharper, brighter and clearer photos at night and in low-light
environments.
The ZenFone 4 Pro is built on the latest Qualcomm®
Snapdragon™ 835 Mobile Platform, which is designed to deliver powerful
performance, while the Qualcomm Spectra™ 180 ISP is designed to support
vibrant photos and videos, and the Qualcomm Adreno™ 540 GPU is
engineered to provide superior performance for high-end mobile gaming.
The ZenFone 4 Pro also features an integrated Snapdragon X16 LTE (News - Alert) modem
for connectivity up to 600Mbps - indoors and on the go, as well as
multi-gigabit 2x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MU-MIMO for a robust Wi-Fi
experience. With the ultra-fast connectivity, users will be able to
download and share 4K UHD videos in seconds, sync their photos, videos
and other files almost instantly, enjoy delay-free VR, access to cloud
and more, both indoors with 802.11ad Wi-Fi and on the go with LTE.
Moreover, the built-in portable Wi-Fi hotspot lets users share LTE
connectivity with other mobile devices such as laptops. 802.11ad Wi-Fi
ensures that these devices can utilize the LTE connectivity even in
crowded places such as airports.
Built-in NFC enables convenient mobile payments with Android (News - Alert) Pay™, and a
front-mounted live fingerprint reader offers improved security and fast
phone unlocking in just 0.3 seconds. To help prevent unauthorized use,
the ZenFone 4 Pro has an advanced, extra-secure live fingerprint sensor.
A capacitive sensor detects fingerprint details in the usual way, but
there's an additional infrared optical sensor that detects blood flow
under the skin. The ZenFone 4 Pro is available in Pure Black.
ZenFone 4: Dual cameras, 120° landscape photos
The 5.5" ZenFone 4's dual-camera system features a main camera with the
Sony IMX362 image sensor and a large, f/1.8 aperture lens that offers
incredible low-light performance to let users capture gorgeous photos at
night or indoors, as well as a 120° wide-angle lens that enables users
to fit more scenery and people in the frame for dramatic photos and
videos that capture an expanded view.
Powered by the latest Snapdragon 630 Mobile Platform, the ZenFone 4
delivers fast yet energy-efficient performance for every scenario, and a
high-capacity 3300mAh lithium-polymer battery and ASUS BoostMaster
fast-charge technology means less charging and more moving. The ZenFone
4 also features 4GB of RAM for improved performance and the Adreno 508
GPU is designed to deliver 30% faster graphics performance than
Snapdragon 626 for smooth and responsive experiences with the latest
apps and games. The ZenFone 4 also features a quick 0.3 seconds
fingerprint sensor and NFC, enabling the convenience of Android Pay, and
is available in both Midnight Black and Moonlight White.
ZenFone 4 Max 5.5" and 5.2"
The ZenFone 4 Max smartphones are designed to be the perfect all-day
photography companions, featuring a dual-rear-camera system with a 13MP
main camera and a 120° wide-view camera. The ZenFone 4 Max comes in two
different sizes. The ZenFone 4 Max (ZC554KL) features a 5.5-inch display
and a high-capacity 5000mAh battery with ASUS PowerMaster technology for
an incredible 46 days of 4G standby time. The ZenFone 4 Max (ZC520KL)
features a 5.2-inch display with a fast-charging 4100mAh battery for up
to 37 days 4G standby. With its massive battery power, the ZenFone 4 Max
smartphones can double as a power bank to charge other devices,
supplying 5V at 1A to attached devices when using a USB On-The-Go (OTG)
cable (sold separately). While charging other devices, the ZenFone 4 Max
monitors its own charge level and will not allow the battery to drain
below 30% capacity to ensure that users will be able to continue using
their phone.
The ZenFone 4 Max smartphones run on the powerful, yet energy-efficient
Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 and 425 Mobile Platforms that work in concert
with their high-capacity batteries to give users ample power for a full
working day and beyond. The Qualcomm Adreno 505 and 308 graphics
processors further enhance performance and responsiveness, and enable
the ZenFone 4 Max smartphones to run the latest games. The ZenFone 4 Max
smartphones also support 4G LTE Category 4 for ultra-fast mobile
download speeds up to 150Mbps.
