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.

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.
