It comes with ASUS TriCamsystem, a three-camera system consisting of a 23MP main camera, motion-tracking camera, and depth-sensing camera. Unlike three-camera systems in other devices, the design of the ASUS TriCam system clusters its array of cameras to reduce their footprint on the phone, enabling the entire phone to be thinner and lighter. The 3300mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 can charge up to 60% battery charge in 45 mins via USB Type-C port.

Also, the smartphone comes with some launch offers:

  • Flipkart is offering INR 2500 off on Google Daydream View VR Headset along with the purchase of ZenFone AR.
