Snapdragon 845 powered ASUS ROG Phone is a real game-changer

At this year’s Computex 2018 event, the ASUS Republic of Gamers introduced the ROG Phone, a first of its kind. The Republic of Gamers (ROG) Phone is powered by a mobile platform — the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform — that not only aptly handles the tasks associated with mobile gaming, it enhances the overall experience as well. It comes with X-mode, a setting that frees up all background RAM and dedicates it to games, optimizes game-data processing performance, and maximizes battery efficiency.

The phone has all of the features gamers will want: unprecedented speeds with Gigabit LTE and Multi-Gigabit 60 GHz Wi-Fi, configurable up to a massive 512 GB for plenty of game storage, an advanced cooling system, visual and audio technologies that captivate, and a unique design inspired by the traditional video game console. The Snapdragon 845 supports all of this and more, ensuring that the high-performance ROG Phone lives up to gamers’ unshakable standards.

A game-optimized mobile platform
The Snapdragon 845 tackles common issues for mobile gaming devices, including slow speeds, hot temperatures, and battery inefficiency. The mobile platform delivers faster and smoother graphics. Gamers will enjoy the speed-binned 2.96GHz Snapdragon 845, so they don’t miss a beat.

Connectivity speeds are also lightning fast. 60 GHz Wi-Fi supports extreme performance with Multi-Gigabit speeds and ultra-low-latency. And with Gigabit-LTE supported as well, users can rest assured their high-speed connectivity will stick with them on the move.

The Snapdragon 845 features the Qualcomm Adreno 630 GPU. The visual processing subsystem processes immersive videos and renders larger-than-life visuals 30 percent better than the previous generation. The Adreno 630 was developed with speed, minimal thermal throttling, and battery efficiency in mind, so gamers can play longer, without burning out the phone.

Keeping cool
Thermal throttling can throw off a user’s gaming experience, making the device not only hot, but slow as well. To prevent that from happening, the ROG Phone includes GameCool vapor-chamber cooling technology, which provides a 16X larger surface area for heat dissipation than a standard heat-pipe cooling system. The system is also enhanced with a copper heat spreader and carbon cooling pads on the circuit board for maximum cooling performance, so the ROG Phone doesn’t break a sweat, even after hours of gameplay. And a detachable, external AeroActive Cooler provides an extra cooling boost when you’re wrapped up in the heat of the moment.

Lights, sound, and plenty of action
The ROG Phone boasts a 6-inch, AMOLED display that has an ultrafast 90Hz refresh and 1-millisecond response time, so users can stay in the game without annoying lags.

The display also presents a wide 108.6 percent DCI-P3 (sRGB 145 percent) color gamut, so it’s capable of displaying HDR content. A 10,000:1 contrast ratio reveals the tiniest details found in games, photos, and videos for more lifelike visuals. And as the first phone with ASUS Aura RGB lighting, the ROG Phone uses light effects for incoming calls, notifications, and more.

To keep pace with its stunning visuals, the ROG Phone features audio technology that’s just as impressive. The device has front-facing stereo speakers that are driven by smart amplifiers that know when to maximize volume and minimize distortion. The Qualcomm Aqstic audio engine supports 24-bit/192KHz Hi-Res Audio playback and the wireless audio output is crisp thanks to Qualcomm aptX high-definition Bluetooth audio technology.

For more private gameplay, ASUS provides the DTS Headphone:X 7.1 surround sound solution, designed for theater-quality surround sound over headphones. It also supports high-definition audio via Bluetooth.

Console-inspired design
The ROG Phone boasts powerful, gaming-focused performance in its interior, but its exterior also caters to the ultimate gamer. The device is designed with special features and a site-mounted port that make it feel just like a video game console.

The device has three AirTrigger touch sensors and advanced haptics: Two are optimized as left and right triggers at the top of the display when the device is in landscape mode, and the third is for use in portrait mode. The sensors are easily programmable for any on-screen action such as aiming, firing, and selecting inventory. Ultrasonic technology is also incorporated in the AirTrigger touch sensors, so the three only need the lightest touch to be prompted.

And to push the gaming experience further, the ROG Phone supports a variety of peripherals, including an optional TwinView Dock for dual-screen handheld mode, a Mobile Desktop Dock for desktop-style gaming, and the Gamevice controller with WiGig Dock for screen-casting onto a big screen via 60 GHz Wi-Fi. With these options, users can expand their mobile gaming world even further.

The ASUS ROG Phone is expected to be available later this summer; more information on pricing and availability will be found on the ASUS ROG Phone site.

ASUS ZenFone 5 series: Energized by Qualcomm Snapdragon

Connecting us to loved ones, sharing news of the day, capturing memories — mobile phones have been our trusty companions for years. These days, they’ve become smarter and even more personalized, marrying superior performance with AI to learn more about our individual preferences to deliver compelling new experiences.

Unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2018, the ASUS ZenFone 5 series is the first of its kind to harness the power of AI. Its flagship, the ZenFone 5Z, sports an all-screen display and is powered by the Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform, providing premium features such as on-device AI, a powerful dual-camera system, and pure speed – up to 1.2 Gbps with Gigabit LTE – all designed to change how you capture photos and share your experiences of the world around you.

Inside the ZenFone Series: ZenFone 5Z
Energized by Snapdragon 845, the ZenFone 5Z puts the power of its AI Engine in your pocket, enabling you with awesome features that can improve your camera experience, especially how you snap photos. For example, real-time, on-device AI processing lets you perform enhanced AI image recognition and scene detection without the need to access the cloud. So, you don’t just have a camera, you have a “smart” camera whose AI recognizes up to 16 different types of objects and scenes, ranging from food to sunsets to snow, automatically applying the best photo settings to ensure you get your best possible picture. These features are powered by an AI Engine found in the Snapdragon 845, harnessing the power of key hardware cores that are optimized for AI.

But your smart camera doesn’t stop there. It also learns your photography style by examining all the photos you’ve taken. When you choose your preference style for a photo, the ZenFone then applies these affects to your camera’s settings in future photos.

Another exciting feature AI brings you is the ability to take professional-looking shots with that trendy, blurry, bokeh effect – in real time! This makes your main subject look razor-sharp while subtly blurring the background, giving you a beautiful artistic effect to share.

The ZenFone 5Z’s camera is actually a dual-camera system that captures high-quality, lifelike photos – even in poor lighting – because its main camera captures five times more light than a typical smartphone’s camera. And with its second camera, you can produce dynamic 120-degree wide-angle photos, which is twice as wide as a standard smartphone camera.

And the ZenFone 5Z is as good looking on the outside as it is feature-packed on the inside: The 6.2-inch smartphone has a 90 percent screen-to-body all-screen ratio packed in a 5.5-inch body so you get more beautiful display per inch.

As for connectivity, the ZenFone 5Z integrates the Snapdragon X20 LTE Modem, which is 20 percent faster than its predecessor and is designed to deliver “fiber optic speeds wirelessly.” What does this mean for you? Peak rates of 1.2 Gbps and high throughput speeds so you can get virtually instantaneous access to your content — even in crowded networks.

ZenFone 5
Powered by the Snapdragon 636 Mobile Platform, the ZenFone 5 offers many of the same features as the ZenFone 5Z, including AI Boost Mode. This grants you an instant blast of extra power when you need it most, supporting your games and other demanding tasks. In addition to offering on-device and cloud-based AI, the platform has shown an overall 40 percent increase in performance compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 630 Mobile Platform. In turn, this device provides users with responsive performance, low power consumption, and an intelligent dual-camera system that adapts and learns to your photography preferences.

ZenFone 5 Lite
The ZenFone 5 Lite is a stylish, 6-inch smartphone, engineered with the Snapdragon 630 platform which is designed to support incredible performance, optimized power efficiency, advanced security, and a four-camera system. This pocket-friendly device enables quality, on-the-go mobile experiences.

By combining AI with striking photography, the ASUS ZenFone 5Z and ZenFone 5 are built to capture your world beautifully and intelligently. The ASUS ZenFone 5 series is anticipated to be available beginning in March with the release of the ZenFone 5 Lite, followed by the ZenFone 5 in April, concluding with the launch of the ZenFone 5Z in June.

New ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro is first with Gigabit LTE and multi-gigabit 802.11ad Wi-Fi

Marking a milestone in mobile devices, the ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro with Gigabit connectivity is the world’s first commercially available smartphone to feature both 802.11ad Wi-Fi connectivity and Gigabit LTE. This phone goes further than any other, blurring the line between connecting indoors and while on the go.

“The ZenFone 4 Pro marks a significant milestone for the mobile industry,” says Cristiano Amon, executive vice president of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and QCT president at the We Love Photo event in Rome.

As the desire for immediate access to the internet grows, so does the need for faster connectivity speeds and larger network capacity. Users need devices that can keep up with their lifestyles, smartphones that can upload and download at lightning-fast speeds, and almost instantly share content. With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform, the ZenFone 4 Pro supports “Gigabit everywhere,” (with compatible network connection, of course) making all of the above possible.

When on the go, the Snapdragon X16 LTE modem supports peak download speeds up to 1 Gbps (that’s fiber optic speeds sans the fiber). The Snapdragon 835 connects to Wi-Fi via multi-gigabit 802.11ad, which supports blazing fast theoretical peak speeds of up to 4.6 Gbps.

Gigabit everywhere means users can enjoy the ultra-fast connectivity and excellent user experiences — like downloading 4K movies and TV shows in seconds or syncing and sharing entire photo albums with incredible speed — without having to worry about how they’re connected. They can enjoy delay-free VR and gaming. And enterprise users can download presentations quickly, access the cloud as if it’s on their phone, and take advantage of lag-free wireless docking, Moreover, the built-in portable Wi-Fi hotspot means users can share their Gigabit LTE connectivity with friends almost anywhere, even in crowded places such as airports.

The ZenFone 4 Pro joins a growing ecosystem of 802.11ad devices, including routers, laptops, wireless docks, and smartphones, all powered by Qualcomm Wi-Fi chipsets. It also demonstrates Qualcomm Technologies’ leadership in mmWave band.; the phone’s 802.11ad Wi-Fi operates at 60GHz mmWave, providing a glimpse of 5G mobile experiences.

Photo and video
The ZenFone 4 Pro is part of an ASUS family of smartphones that feature dual rear and front cameras. Combined with the ultra-fast LTE connectivity of the Snapdragon 835, users can capture and share their photos and videos almost instantly.

The main 12MP camera features the Sony IMX362 image sensor, with a large 1/2.55-inch, 1.4um pixel, f/1.7 aperture lens. The second 16MP camera has 2X optical zoom with a 10X total zoom, to bring distant objects into sharp focus. This innovative design lets users take brighter photos with better clarity, even in low light. Flip to the front, the selfie camera boosts light sensitivity and reduces image “noise” for clear, vivid photos.

The innovative camera hardware in the ZenFone 4 Pro is paired with advanced photo tools to help users create stunning, high-quality photos. The ASUS SuperPixel Engine is designed to increase captured light by up to 8X as well, while optical image stabilization (OIS) and the Qualcomm Spectra 180 ISP are engineered to provide automatic enhancements for clearer photos any time of day.

The rear dual-camera system incorporates TriTech+ technology. By using a combination of dual pixel phase-detection, subject-tracking, and laser autofocus, the camera can accurately adjust to a subject in just 0.03 seconds. Plus, with RGB-color correction, users can snap true-to-life colors.

Audio
The ZenFone 4 Pro also delivers a stunning audio experience. Equipped with both dual speakers and Headphone X 7.1 virtual surround sound, users can enjoy an immersive stereo experience whether they’re listening to music or streaming video with headphones. Hi-Res Audio certification indicates that the device supports 192-kHz/24-bit audio, which is 4X better than CDs.

Battery Life
Along with the superior power efficiency of the Snapdragon 835, the ZenFone 4 Pro boasts a 3600 mAh battery. The ASUS Boostmaster technology supplies 18W (9V/2A) of power and safeguards against overcharging. Just five minutes of charging can provide two hours of talk time.

Display and design
The sleek 5.5-inch AMOLED screen displays vivid colors in stunning 1920 x 1080 resolution. The ASUS Splendid technology powers an ambient light sensor, designed to adjust the color temperature of the phone’s display based on environmental lighting. Whether in the sunny outdoors or a dimly lit room, the screen adjusts, making it easy to watch, browse, and enjoy.

This slim, 6.2-ounce smartphone is designed with a 2.5D curved glass display and coated in Corning Gorilla Glass. Crafted with Nano Molding Technology, the phone’s smooth frame integrates the dual camera into its chassis seamlessly, so it can lay flat.

The ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro with Gigabit connectivity is available with 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM in Pure Black and Moonlight White.

With focus on photos, ASUS announces new ZenFone 4 smartphones powered by Snapdragon

Last month ASUS announced the latest iteration of the ZenFone series, the ASUS ZenFone 4 and the ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro, marking an exciting advancement in mobile photography. The ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform, and the ASUS ZenFone 4 comes with one of the two new 600-tier platforms, the Snapdragon 660 Mobile Platform and  Snapdragon 630 Mobile Platform.

All three smartphones boast next-generation camera technologies, such as innovative dual-camera systems, Sony image sensors, and optical image stabilization, that don’t sacrifice power or performance, thanks to Qualcomm Technologies.

ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro
The ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro is a luxury phone loaded with a variety of tools for photographers in every setting, all powered by the Snapdragon 835.

Cameras
The phone’s main 12MP camera features the Sony IMX362 image sensor, with a large 1/2.55-inch, 1.4µm pixel, F1.7 aperture lens. A 16MP second camera, a Sony IMX351 sensor, features a 120-degree wide-angle lens, as well as a 2X optical zoom for up to 10X total zoom. Portrait mode uses both lenses simultaneously to take striking portraits and close-ups capable of smooth bokeh-effect backgrounds. Together with the ASUS SuperPixel Engine, designed to increase captured light by up to 8X, and image stabilization, photogs can snap bright, clear photos at night and in low light.

The dual-camera system uses ASUS’s TriTech+ tool, which combines three focusing technologies: infrared lasers, traditional continuous autofocus, and phase detection auto focus, or PDAF, which is traditionally only found in DSLRs. TriTech+ is engineered to assess and use the best of these technologies automatically, depending on your photography subject, all in under nearly 0.03 seconds.

The cameras also include an assortment of PixelMaster camera modes that allow you to adjust settings. Mobile photographers can control the shutter speed, white balance, exposure, and ISO with a single touch. On the flipside, the ZenFone 4 Pro’s 8MP front-facing second camera is designed to boost light sensitivity, giving selfie snappers the same responsive auto detection for beautiful photos, day or night.

With this dual-camera system, you can also record 4K UHD resolution video. The three-axis Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) software can detect and compensate for shaking during recording, resulting in smooth and stunningly vivid videos. Slow Motion mode supports video at up to 120 frames per second in 1080 Full HD, while the Time Lapse mode saves power by turning off the display and radios while recording, so you have more options to experiment, capture, and create your blockbusters.

Battery life
The ZenFone 4 Pro’s innovative camera capabilities are boosted by the efficiency and power provided by the Snapdragon 835 mobile platform. Its impressive 3600mAh battery is engineered to provide up to two weeks of 4G standby time. The ASUS BoostMaster technology can provide 18W (9V/2A) of recharging power, and safeguards against overcharging. Just five minutes of charging can replenish two hours of 3G talk time, and 32 minutes can bring the ZenFone 4 Pro battery up to 50 percent.

Audio
The phone’s stereo speakers come with Hi-Res Audio certification, designating support for 24-bit/192kHz audio playback with low-distortion sounds, even at high volumes. Three noise cancelling microphones can remove unwanted environmental sounds for impressive call quality and audio recording clarity. A new AudioWizard app lets you tailor headphone audio to your liking for DTS Headphone:X theater quality 7.1 channel sound, while a combination of both Bluetooth 5.0 and Qualcomm aptX Low Latency tech is designed to deliver an enhanced wireless headphone experience.

Display and design
The 5.5-inch AMOLED display supports full HD resolution. Whether you’re in a sunny outdoor space or shooting in a dark room, the ASUS Splendid display technology can adjust to the screen’s color temperature based on the environment, making it easy to watch, share, and browse virtually anywhere.

The ZenFone 4 Pro continues the ZenFone’s legacy of sleek design, with its solid aluminum unibody, crafted by nano molding technology for a light-yet-strong frame. Its dual-camera setup is completely integrated within the phone chassis for a smooth look, allowing it to lay completely flat. Both the front and rear of the device is encased in 2.5D curved Corning Gorilla Glass, designed to be scratch-resistant and durable.

The ASUS ZenFone 4 Pro is available in Moonlight White and Pure Black.

ASUS ZenFone 4
There are two choices available for the ASUS ZenFone 4: one powered by the Snapdragon 660 mobile platform and another by the Snapdragon 630. Both are engineered to provide innovative dual-camera photography hardware, tools, and efficient battery performance, while supporting download speeds of up to 600 Mbps (LTE Cat 12) and upload speeds of 150 Mbps (LTE Cat 13) for superior, fast connectivity.

Cameras
The ZenFone 4’s main 12MP camera is equipped with the Sony IMX362 image sensor, designed with a 1/2.55-inch size, 1.4µm pixels f/1.8 aperture lens, so you can capture photos that are up to 5X clearer and brighter in low light. The second camera is equipped with a 120-degree wide-angle lens, giving photographers a 200-percent wider view than standard smartphone cameras. Combined with optical image stabilization (OIS), the ZenFone 4 allows blur-free handheld exposures of 0.25 seconds, allowing up to 5X more light to reach the camera sensor. This allows you to take crisp, clear images in a variety of low-light environments.

Mobile photographers can shoot videos at up to 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) with 12 PixelMaster camera modes, which is, essentially, the same as standard DSLR cameras. The three-axis Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) software compensates for shakes during recording, creating smooth, vivid videos. Slow Motion mode supports capture at 120 frames per second in 1080 Full HD, while the Time Lapse mode is designed to optimize battery use by turning off the display while recording, all in RAW file formats.

Audio
The ZenFone 4 has Hi-Res audio certification stereo speakers, indicating support for 24-bit/192kHz audio playback with low-distortion sounds, even at high volumes. Three noise cancelling microphones are designed to remove unwanted environmental sounds for audio recording and superior call clarity. The smartphone has a new AudioQizard app that lets you tailor your headphone audio for DTS Headphone:X theater quality 7.1 channel sound, as well as Bluetooth 5.0 and Qualcomm aptX Low Latency technology, perfect for wireless headphone users.

Performance and power
The ZenFone 4 with Snapdragon 660 powers up to 6GB of RAM with the Qualcomm Kryo 260 CPU and the Qualcomm Adreno 512 GPU, which offers a powerful 3D mobile game experience and battery efficiency. Its eight CPU cores utilize two clusters, one for demanding performance and the other for power efficiency. This helps to reduce the impact on battery life while you take photos and stream video.

The Snapdragon 630 based ZenFone 4 powers up to 6GB of RAM and features the Adreno 508 GPU. The Snapdragon 630 is designed to deliver 30 percent faster graphics performance than the previous generation, while continuing to power its innovative camera features and 3D gaming options.

Both the Snapdragon 660 and Snapdragon 630 use 14nm FinFET processors. Combined with the 3300mAh high capacity battery, the ZenFone 4 is designed for up to 23 days of 4G standby time. ASUS Bootmaster tech can provide 15W of power for two hours of 3G talk time with a five-minute charge, or 50 percent battery capacity with just 36 minutes of charging.

Design
The ZenFone 4 has an expansive 5.5-inch Super ISP+ display encased in durable 2.5D-curved Corning Gorilla Glass. Both models are available in three gorgeous colors: Midnight Black, Moonlight White, and Mint Green.
