A new Camera/phone combo

[Golfdriver97]

An extremely thin, 3X zoom camera/phone combo. Looks like it might be worth looking at: The new ASUS Zenfone Zoom has been revealed at CES 2015 | Android Central

So far as I can tell, the lens does not move in and out for zooming, so there seems to be no danger of dust being sucked in, a problem with some zoom lenses. The lens specs are impressive....a 10-element design according to Asus:

I am anxiously awaiting news of this phone. Very hopeful it makes it to the US market.

Ah, so the compact design is due to prisms in the optical path:

how's battery life? does it reach very hot temperatures when in use?

I am very curious as to how well the camera performs in low light while using the dual LED flash. Surely a xenon flash would have made a considerable difference in lighting.

I'm curious how the zoom feature itself performs.

I am using zenfone 5 and the camera quality is very good especially the low light feature and I am sure it will be much handy in zenfone zoom

I'd like to check out the camera on this device.
