ASUS Zenfone AR + Zenfone 3 Zoom: new phones @ CES 2017

ASUS launched a bunch of new stuff at CES, but something that caught Jack's eye were these two phones, largely because one of them is compatible with both Google Daydream AND Project Tango. It's AR AND VR. It's ARVR. Say that 10 times fast.

JULIA WAS HERE, DIDNT TALK BUT STILL MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE VIDEO

[FezMusic]

Jack your hands look so delicate and lovely

[TeeDeL]

I have the Zenfone 3 now and it's a pretty decent phone

[KaidoLP]

the Zenfone AR isn't the first but the second Tango smartphone, the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro ist already available

[kobeyrafferty]

tell me I'm not the only one that was amazed with 8gb of ram on a phone! that's more than most apple products combined!

The Zen phone has more ram than my laptop!

Why is it just one booth per video? These are very short videos, what happened?

[simster]

really want to see tango features in some mainstream phones as can't get all these where I am and would love for the measurement tool and some AR games on my phone... hopefully soon as time to upgrade

[Rattacko]

Zenphone 3 Zoom looks very appealing but too big for my tastes. Currently rocking an iphone 5 and my parents iphone 6 is what I would consider big, this phone is HUGE.

[OtaconEmmerich]

I wonder how stable of video the AR can do. Maybe I'll get one on Black Friday 2018.

[MichaelSodapop]

I hate how smart phones just keep getting bigger. I'd be happy with something the size of an LG slider.

[antoineaoude]

Project tango sounds like a military project

[acap]

Who did the script? Its SOO not NCIX Tech tips.

[HistoricaHungarica]

Nice nails Jack! ;)

But for real: Julia has nice hands... reminds me of the '80s and '90s commertials. Although her skin at her joints look very oldish. :S

[CraigMcAnuff]

dat hand model doe... 😍😍. Julia is sooo nice!!

[Charsept]

Snapdragon 625 in the Zoom is a deal breaker. It'll sip that 5000 mAh for days probably but I crave that raw power.
Even the Snapdragon 821 in the AR is a little behind the new 835. If they are priced accordingly, they'll obviously have a place in the market. And with the (in my opinion, silly) fervor for cameras the Zoom will definitely sell and with the (nearly equally silly) interest in AR and VR, Im sure that flagship will turn some heads.

Last time I was this early, Note 7 was still a thing
