nice one smartphone with optical zoom lenses. is it carl zeiss or sony sensor???
nakikipag-kompetensya na rin ang asus sa ibang international mobile tech. nice specs kaya lang price nito baka mahal nman
the only thing worries me is the 11.95mm thickness, it can too bulky in your pocket.
not my ideal smartphone, just imagine it would be too awkward to have bulky pocket. just buy a regular smartphone and a optical lenses camera.
