00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,000
thank you to Squarespace for sending us to CES 2016 this year check out their

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:10,719
Link in the description down below which is squarespace.com Linus and use offer

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:14,480
code Linus for 10% off last CES in the

4
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:17,359
ASUS Suite they looked on in horror as I

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:22,800
lifted the display cases up and put my grubby Paws all over their precious

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,599
demos this year well they've apparently

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:31,279
completely given up because in front of me I have not one not two not three not

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:37,760
four I'm not even G to try and pick up the fifth one but five of the upcoming

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,239
Zen phone Zoom to show off to you guys

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:44,360
because they've realized they can't stop me anyway so they might as well just let

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:48,239
me get my grubby pause on it this is looking like a pretty impressive

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:52,920
followup to the Zen phone 2 that I reviewed earlier this year with the

13
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:57,359
specs being well about what you'd expect so you've got a z3500 series Intel quad

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:03,280
core processor four gigs of this is interesting dual Channel DDR3 memory 64

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:08,960
gigs of storage micro SD expansion you've got their usual Zen UI uh you've

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,640
got um I don't know I guess what else am I really going to say about it like it's

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:16,080
pretty responsive this is cool though uh the bloatware apps that I complained

18
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,560
about on the Zen phone 2 they now have a tool yes my friends you're are going to

19
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:25,840
download an ASUS tool for once to just remove all of it poof but the real

20
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:30,600
killer for this one oh yeah 5 and 1/2 inch LCD display

21
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:38,680
1080p okay I'll get on with it the real killer for this one is in the zoom name

22
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:40,000
yes my friends it has a 3X optical zoom

23
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:44,560
so it's funny because if I'm talking to someone like my sister and I say okay you can zoom on your phone she'll be

24
00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:49,360
like oh yeah so you pinch and drag I'm like no no no no no no no no optical

25
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:54,680
zoom means with glass with Optics they've got a 10 element camera lens

26
00:01:52,640 --> 00:02:00,280
construction doad thing that they've got blown up here next to me that allows you

27
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,320
not only to zoom in with glass but it

28
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:06,439
also has Optical image stabilization so you can see in these test shots that I'm

29
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:10,360
doing even at a reasonable distance it's holding it pretty darn still and I am

30
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:14,000
getting impressive detail I mean low light performance was already a strength

31
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:18,120
of the Zen phone line and it looks like we're seeing nothing but Improvement

32
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:22,440
here now the thing is that it's not going to come in you know cheap as chips

33
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:27,080
like a traditional Zen phone might you're not going to be buying one for 99

34
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:32,680
in fact the 64 gig storage skew is going to be $3.99 but that is an un locked

35
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:36,160
non-carrier restricted phone it does have swappable back plates so you can

36
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:41,239
customize the look of it you know if you're into orange say for example like

37
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:45,360
uh lonus then you can do that kind of thing and this is looking pretty darn

38
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:50,560
impressive definitely steps in the right direction because isn't that the ASUS

39
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,200
way do it then do it pretty well then do

40
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:58,319
it for real and I think we're finally getting to that last stage so thanks for

41
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,840
