(SPOT.ph) Smartphones can make anyone feel like a pro photographer in an instant. Couple that with photo editing apps and an Instagram account, and it's bound to rain hearts on your page. Because almost anyone and everyone is doing the same thing, you gotta level up your game...meaning you have to pick a gadget that raises the bar when it comes to mobile photography—and that's exactly what the new ASUS ZenFone Zoom has to offer.
The ASUS ZenFone Zoom claims to be the world's thinnest 3x optical-zoom (allows you to see and capture your subject closer without sacrificing quality) smartphone with a impressive optical image stabilization (claims to be DSLR-like—and we agree!), a lightning-speed autofocus, and a 13-megapixel camera—all of this allowing you to shoot almost anything with total clarity almost every time.
What better way to put the phone to the test than going on a quick out-of-town getaway to a place where every spot is picturesque? The ASUS team took us to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan. Let's just say that it was the perfect place to test the camera. (We were blown away.)
Check out some of our shots:
This was taken while running at 60 mph! Pretty stable, if you ask us!
Touchdown Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar!
Doesn't it look like it's straight out of a postcard?
Probably our favorite subject.
We love how the camera captures the colors so well.
Familiar? This is where they shot an important scene for Heneral Luna!
Yup, that's a man wearing a barong under the crazy heat!
The texture looks amazing on this one.
It even has a Depth of Field feature. We're loving that bokeh!
There's something eerie about this shot...
No filter! The sky was as pretty as cotton candy when we took this photo.
And now, some #ahrt shots:
