ZenFone 4 series: We Love Photo

The ZenFone 4 Series smartphones are designed to provide the best mobile photography experiences,
with dual cameras that enable unlimited creative options and give users the freedom to capture their
world from multiple perspectives. The ZenFone 4 Series currently includes two models: ZenFone 4 Pro
and ZenFone 4.

ZenFone 4 Pro: 10X zoom, 8X light sensitivity, 6GB RAM

ZenFone 4 Pro is the ultimate expression of ASUS smartphone design, crafted to provide luxury in every
detail and engineered to deliver an unparalleled mobile photography experience. ZenFone 4 Pro features
an advanced dual-camera system designed to take mobile photography to new heights. Its main camera
is equipped with the industry-leading Sony IMX362 image sensor with a large 1/2.55-inch size, 1.4µm
pixels and a wide, f/1.7-aperture lens to capture brighter and clearer photos in low light. The dual-camera
system on ZenFone 4 Pro also has a 16MP camera with a 2X optical zoom and a 10X total zoom that
brings distant subjects closer, putting them in sharp focus while softening background details. Together
with the ASUS SuperPixel™ Engine that effectively increases captured light by up to 8X, and optical
image stabilization (OIS) that enables blur-free handheld exposures of up to 1/4 seconds, ZenFone 4 Pro
captures sharper, brighter and clearer photos at night and in low-light environments.

ZenFone 4 Pro is built on the latest Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 835 Mobile Platform, which is designed to
deliver powerful performance and a responsive camera experience, while the Qualcomm® Adreno™ 540
GPU is engineered to provide superior performance for high-end mobile gaming. ZenFone 4 Pro also
delivers ultrafast network connectivity with the latest LTE Advanced features for cellular download
speeds.

incredible low-light performance to let users capture gorgeous photos at night or indoors, as well as a
120° wide-angle lens that enables users to fit more scenery and people in the frame for dramatic photos
and videos that capture a true sense of place.

Powered by the latest Snapdragon 660 and 630 Mobile Platform, ZenFone 4 delivers fast yet energy-
efficient performance for every scenario, and a high-capacity 3300mAh lithium polymer battery and ASUS
BoostMaster fast-charge technology keep ZenFone 4 going longer.

their world from different points of view and have more fun exploring and sharing with friends. ASUS
ZenFone 4 opens the door to unlimited photographic possibilities and puts professional-quality photos

ZenFone 4 Selfie Series smartphones feature high-quality, dual front-facing cameras and intuitive yet
powerful image-processing software that enables users to easily capture beautiful selfies and super wide-
angle wefies with their friends in any scenario. The all-new SelfieMaster app lets users apply real-time
beautification effects to selfies, videos, and live-streams, and the camera's Beauty mode enables
professional-quality adjustments — such as skin softening, eye enhancement and facial-feature balancing
— with just a few taps. With its compelling combination of dual cameras and beautification features, the
ZenFone 4 Selfie series provides the best all-around selfie photography experiences, letting users have
fun, express themselves and portray the perfect version of themselves to the world.

ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro — the flagship model of the ZenFone 4 Selfie series — has the world's most
advanced selfie camera, with a Sony IMX362 dual-pixel image sensor that has twice the number of light-
capturing photodiodes as conventional sensors of the same resolution, and the ASUS SuperPixel™
Engine that enables users to capture 2X brighter low-light selfies and astonishingly detailed 4K UHD
selfie video. 24MP1 DuoPixel™ camera technology uses the information captured by the sensor to
intelligently create one 24MP photo, resulting in beautiful, high-resolution selfies. ZenFone 4 Selfie Pro

ZenFone 4 Selfie features dual, front-facing cameras, including a high-resolution, 20MP main selfie
camera and a 120° super wide-angle wefie camera. A Softlight LED flash delivers the perfect amount of
fill light in low-light conditions, softening skin texture and bringing out true skin tones to make selfies look
their best. Users have additional photo-enhancement effects with the ASUS-exclusive SelfieMaster app,
which applies beautification effects in real-time, letting users preview the results and even apply them
while shooting video or live-streaming on their favorite social-networking sites.

In addition to its dual selfie cameras, ZenFone 4 Selfie features a rear, high-resolution 16MP camera with
fast, phase-detection autofocus for capturing every precious moment with vivid clarity and stunning detail.
