ASUS today announced its latest Zenfone C – ZC451CG smartphone in India. India is amongst the 1st wave countries, where this phone has been launched. The phone is available in three colours – red, white and black. The Zenfone C – ZC451CG has an affordable price tag of Rs. 5,999/- and will be available on Flipkart from today and at ASUS Exclusive Stores from February 18, 2015 onwards.
The Zenfone C – ZC451CG features a 4.5 inches, 854 x 480-pixel (FWVGA) display, which is claimed to responds to touch in a mere 70ms, even when multitasking. High-quality LED-backlight technology ensures that everything on the display is bright and clear, with vivid color reproduction. 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.
This Dual-SIM smartphone is driven by a 1.2GHz Intel CloverTrail processor with quad-thread Hyper-Threading Technology, and is supported by 1GB RAM, 8GM of internal sttorage, which can be extended upto 64GB via microSD card.
The ZenFone C is equipped with the main PixelMaster camera, which has a 5MP, f/2.0 lens. PixelMaster’s industry-leading 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, as stated by the company.
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%, Backlight (HDR) mode ensures that foreground subjects stand out clearly and are free of shadows.
ZenFone C’s ZenUI Camera app has powerful features to help users capture the very best photographs and selfies, including Time Rewind that snaps even before the shutter button is pressed and Depth of Field to create stunning miniature-world effects. This phone also houses 0.3MP front camera.
The ASUS Zenfone C – ZC451CG runs on the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system with ASUS Zen UI on top. It is packed with removable 2100mAh battery, which is claimed to have sufficient juice to power ZenFone C for up to 29.8 hours of 3G talk time and up to 260 hours of standby time.
The ZenFone C also boasts of SonicMaster technology for exceptional mobile-audio experiences. An ingenuous amplifier design enables ZenFone C to deliver an output voltage that’s up to 25% greater than competing smartphones.
