It seems that Asus has high hopes for their Zenfone 3 Zoom model given the fact that they have priced it really high, according to the first information from the Taiwanese market.
The device was announced a couple of weeks ago and this week you can find it available in the Taiwanese market for the price of 14,990 TWD – the equivalent of around $489 USD. We’re talking about a special “camera oriented” phone, equipped with a dual 12MPixel camera with 2.3x optical zoom, Dual Pixel autofocus, and 4K video recording.
