They better make sure the phone that will come with it will be able to record video using this tele cam from the get go. Unlike their Reno 10x Zoom that can only do that after more than a year of waiting...

    If everyone was you, we would be using single core processes with 2mp cameras today!

      New sensor seems very jagged edge-y.

      I'd rather have a 48+mp module with 135mm fixed 5x zoom and better overall image quality than a zoom lens. To me 5x zoom seems more useful than 3x zoom. For 3x I can either get closer to my subject and snap a picture with primary camera, or walk back and use 5x camera.

      If I want more, I'll just use my main camera.

          What did china do to mobile innovation ?
          I don't see anything. All of their parts are from foreign companies, mainly from Japan, SK, US and EU.
          Haven't you learnt from Huawei ?
          Or do you need ban for all Chinese brands ?

            See that Samsung, optical zoom is the only thing that matters. Cropping and interpolating an image to 100x is dumb

              We already know however that this was coming since the Vivo apex 2020

              Even then this is NOT the same bulky old garbage quality lenses in the Asus and old sammy

                Not variable FL like Asus had.

                  Which implies that this is an improvement over EXISTING technology ...


                  And people still out here shouting about who did it first ,and advertising Asus and Samsung blah blah blah

                      Holy lord, once again and as usual i must admit... New China mobile with innovation.
                      All other companies outside China, could really learn something here.
                      Like the Pixel sh.. phones, only innovates prices.

                      The new reality is not China copying here, now its US, while their dictator try stop the innovation crusade from China... other brands to.

Also Sony ZL with front cam inside bottom bezel.

                            Almost all brands get lenses from unknown chinese companies.
                            Huawei does not have leica lenses, local company supplies. Leica just gives their okay to quality.

                            There are companies like LG, Zeiss etc that built the modules (sensor, lenses, OIS etc) for cellphone makers.

If it's Sony, paired with their 48MP Regular and Wide will make the Find X3 Pro (no doubt that's on the way) a killer camera phone. Shame they can't figure out how to add wireless charging, large battery cell, or headphone jack/2nd Type-C port....

                                        Here you go. Do bear in mind that the Zenfone Zoom was a 2015 smartphone. You can find the spec sheet from this website.
