ZenFone 5Z (ZS620KL)｜Phones｜ASUS USA (2024)

Built for strength, finished with beauty

ZenFone 5Z is a masterpiece of design, combining strength with beauty. Its glass-covered body is built from special aerospace-grade aluminum that’s light but incredibly strong, and finished using zircon-sandblasting technology and an intricate eight-layer optical coating process. A final varnish coat under the glass gives a deep, rich luster to the iconic Zen-inspired concentric-circle patterning.

Thoughtful design, crafted to perfection

Building ZenFone 5Z requires precision engineering and exquisite attention to the finest details, in a complex 206-step process. Even hidden details are important: the special thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) under the metal buttons makes them more reliable and gives them a positive feel. A special anti-glare coating reduces reflections to improve image quality and make the camera lenses less visible.

Effortlessly perfect photos, anytime and anywhere

AI Scene Detection takes the guesswork out of photography. ZenFone 5Z uses the power of AI to rapidly analyze the subject and match it to one of its 16 scene types, optimizing the camera settings for almost any kind of subject from sunsets to pet pics. The result is effortlessly perfect photos, anytime and anywhere. ZenFone 5Z uses advanced data analysis to constantly enhance the scene detection algorithms, for ever-smarter photography.

Gorgeous portraits photos like never before

ZenFone 5Z lets you take professional-looking close-up shots of people or objects, without the hassle. With Real-time Portrait mode, the main subject stays pin-sharp, while the background is given a sense of depth with a graduated bokeh effect — created using depth information intelligently analyzed from the subject — for a beautifully artistic photo. Real-time Portrait mode can be used with the rear main or front cameras, capturing gorgeous portraits and close-ups that rival those taken with high-end DSLR cameras. When using the rear camera, Real-time Portrait uses both cameras simultaneously to optimize the bokeh effect even further.

A camera that learns what you love

AI Photo Learning lets you teach ZenFone 5Z how you like your photos to look. It then automatically adjusts the camera settings for future shots — so your photos will always reflect your unique style preferences.

Perfect Photos, anytime

ZenFone 5Z’s main high-resolution camera is designed to take the best possible photos, under any lighting conditions. It gets rid of camera shake to produce blur-free handheld shots, and accurately focuses on any subject — whether it’s your dinner or your pets — in an instant. ZenFone 5Z captures brighter, clearer, and more true-to-life photos at any time, and it’s especially impressive in low-light or backlit situations. It also captures breathtaking HDR photos that record every detail, at any hour of the day or night.

Fit more scenery and friends in the shot

The secondary 120° wide-angle camera on ZenFone 5Z lets you fit more scenery and people in the frame, producing dramatic photos and videos that capture a true sense of place. It allows you to exaggerate the sense of space in any setting to capture more dramatic scenes and stunning, expansive landscapes. The wide view is incredibly handy for group shots or in cramped spaces, too!
