Asus is gearing up to launch another smartphone in its Zenfone 3 series. The newest member could be the Zenfone 3 Zoom (ZE553KL) which sports dual rear cameras, and may use a telephoto lens for optical zoom.

The Zenfone 3 Zoom is expected to run on the Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor with various memory options including 2/3/4 GB RAM and 16/32/64GB of onboard storage. The dual-camera setup will be very interesting. According to the leaked report, it will come with dual 13 MP and 12.2 MP rear cameras, while there would be a 13 MP front facing camera as well. There's laser autofocus and a dual-tone LED flash onboard as well. All this would be powered by a 5000 mAh battery.

From the TENNA certification image, you can also see a fingerprint sensor on the back along with the metal construction of the smartphone. Asus will be making a switch to an AMOLED display for the Zenfone 3 Zoom's 5.5-inch 1080p panel. At present, there is no word on a launch date yet, but given that the company has already scheduled its CES 2017 event in January, you can expect the Zenfone 3 Zoom to make a debut there.
