00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.000
thank you to Squarespace for sending us to CES 2016 this year check out their

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.719
Link in the description down below which is squarespace.com Linus and use offer

00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:14.480
code Linus for 10% off last CES in the

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:17.359
ASUS Suite they looked on in horror as I

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:22.800
lifted the display cases up and put my grubby Paws all over their precious

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:24.599
demos this year well they've apparently

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

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

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:40.239
Zen phone Zoom to show off to you guys

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

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:48.239
me get my grubby pause on it this is looking like a pretty impressive

00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:52.920
followup to the Zen phone 2 that I reviewed earlier this year with the

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

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:03.280
core processor four gigs of this is interesting dual Channel DDR3 memory 64

00:01:00.680 --> 00:01:08.960
gigs of storage micro SD expansion you've got their usual Zen UI uh you've

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

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:16.080
pretty responsive this is cool though uh the bloatware apps that I complained

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

00:01:18.119 --> 00:01:25.840
download an ASUS tool for once to just remove all of it poof but the real

00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:30.600
killer for this one oh yeah 5 and 1/2 inch LCD display

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

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:40.000
yes my friends it has a 3X optical zoom

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

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

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:54.680
zoom means with glass with Optics they've got a 10 element camera lens

00:01:52.640 --> 00:02:00.280
construction doad thing that they've got blown up here next to me that allows you

00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:02.320
not only to zoom in with glass but it

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:06.439
also has Optical image stabilization so you can see in these test shots that I'm

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:10.360
doing even at a reasonable distance it's holding it pretty darn still and I am

00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:14.000
getting impressive detail I mean low light performance was already a strength

00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:18.120
of the Zen phone line and it looks like we're seeing nothing but Improvement

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

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:27.080
like a traditional Zen phone might you're not going to be buying one for 99

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

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.160
non-carrier restricted phone it does have swappable back plates so you can

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:41.239
customize the look of it you know if you're into orange say for example like

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:45.360
uh lonus then you can do that kind of thing and this is looking pretty darn

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:50.560
impressive definitely steps in the right direction because isn't that the ASUS

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:53.200
way do it then do it pretty well then do

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

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:02.840
