Beauty
Exquisite design inspired by the beauty of nature
You’ve never felt diamond-like natural beauty with your whole hand. You’ve never felt precision-sculpted glass on both sides. You’ve never felt the aesthetic joy of Zen’s signature concentric-circle pattern, or the tactile excitement of spun-cut etchings. All this because you’ve never felt ZenFone 3. It’s time your senses felt exquisite design. It’s time for ZenFone 3.

Fine craftsmanship, finest finish
ZenFone 3 is the definition of refined craftsmanship. Encased in contoured Corning? Gorilla? Glass and tapering to a thin 7.69mm edge, ZenFone 3 has a fluid, multi-dimensional design that’s finished with a diamond-cut chamfer. To hold ZenFone 3 is to appreciate a contemporary work of art — the passion of imagination realized.

TriTech AF
Ultra-fast 0.03s instant focus & subject tracking
ZenFone 3 has something no other smartphone camera has — its exclusive TriTech auto-focus technology. For the first time in the smartphone world, our engineers have combined three focusing technologies — laser, phase detection and continuous auto-focus — into one harmonious system. Resulting a clear focus in just 0.03 seconds in varying conditions, for all scenarios — and at up to ten times (10x) faster than the blink of your eye!

OIS & EIS
Steadily shot, shake-free photos and videos
While shooting photos, the four-axis optical image stabilizer (OIS) senses and prevents your hand movements from blurring photos. And for videos, a three-axis electronic image stabilizer (EIS) keeps your handheld videos rock steady.
Realistic
Photos like the actual scenes
Photos will appear as realistic as you view them, with deep trench isolation technology preventing photons of light from leaking from one pixel on the sensor to another, resulting in clearer details. The color correction sensor detects unusually-lit subjects and makes them look natural in the resulting photo. These are complemented by the 4x Super Resolution feature which creates a single, extremely detailed photo; and Real-time HDR that properly shows the resulting HDR photo as you frame it.
