ASUS launches dual SIM Zenfone C at Rs. 5,999

MUMBAI, INDIA:  ASUS has announced Zenfone C - ZC451CG. The device is built on the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system with ASUS exclusive Zen UI.

The smartphone has a 4.5” display and a 5MP camera with PixelMaster technology and 2100mAh removable battery for nearly 30 hours of 3G talk time and over 10 days of standby. It is endowed with a dual SIM and dual standby with high performance Intel Atom CPU.

Quad-thread power: High-speed processor and ultra-responsive display

ZenFone C’s 1.2GHz Intel CloverTrail processor is a multi-core powerhouse with quad-thread Hyper-Threading Technology.

Supported by 1GB of fast RAM, ZenFone C’s 854 x 480-pixel (FWVGA) display responds to touch in a mere 70ms.  The screen’s 4.5-inch diagonal keeps ZenFone C practically compact, along with an ergonomic design that tapers to just 6.2mm at the thinnest edge.

The main PixelMaster camera has a 5MP, f/2.0 lens. PixelMaster’s Low Light mode employs pixel-merging technology to capture up to 400%-brighter photos at night, or in low-light scenes, without the need for a flash — something not previously possible with a 5MP camera.

The ZenFone C’s PixelMaster main camera also has Backlight (HDR) mode to let users capture vivid, evenly-exposed photos in challenging backlit scenes such as sunset portraits. By using pixel-enhancing technology to increase contrast by up to 400 percent, Backlight (HDR) mode ensures that foreground subjects stand out clearly and are free of shadows.

The 2100mAh cell has sufficient juice to power ZenFone C for up to 29.8 hours of 3G talk time and up to 260 hours of standby — or over 10 days of service between charges.This lithium-ion battery is also easily removed, enabling ZenFone C users to pack as much backup power as they need.

An ingenuous amplifier design enables ZenFone C to deliver an output voltage that’s up to 25 percent greater than competing smartphones. The included ASUS AudioWizard app with ICEpower technology helps the users to shape the sound for every environment and situation.

The phone is available in three different colours of red, white and black. The smartphone is priced at Rs. 5,999 and will be available on Flipkart and ASUS Exclusive Stores.
