Mag Cherry Mobile nalang po kayo po. :3

Uhm, no sorry. No Cherry Mobile even comes close to this device, as of posting time, even that Cosmos One Plus flagship. Especially the camera, considering Cherry Mobile’s track record of washed out shots and lackluster software.

ok sana kaso ang mahal halos 18k mas ok sana kung mga 13 or 14k lng

Rockafella · 11 years ago

Well the price justifies the specs naman, still cheapera and better than the crappy Samsung K or whatever its name is. This bad boy goes hard.

kencom · 11 years ago

If I remember correctly, K Zoom has up to 10x zoom something while this one is only up to 3x… But K Zoom’s stuff is crap.So yeah, Zenfone Zoom FTW!

We Pinoys have a knack for asking for the impossible no?
Absurd performance from the Intel quad-core chip. 4GB of RAM. Optical Zoom. Laser autofocus. OIS. 5 centimeter macro mode. 10 lens elements.
IMO this camera phone should not even start at $399, it’s almost a flagship. We should be thankful for ASUS for pricing it extra-competitively, especially considering that camera technology is one of the most expensive tech upgrades a smartphone can get.
