PixelMaster is a unique ASUS-developed technology that combines software, hardware and optical design to deliver incredible image quality. 

Speaking at the launching, Simplice Zaongo, Country Product Manager, ASUS Nigeria, said: “We are very excited to bring our latest ZenFone family to the Nigerian market. These brand-new innovations are each an empowering luxury that strikes the perfect balance of beauty, functionality and performance, and especially offers Nigerian consumers a comprehensive camera experience via both hardware and software.”

All ZenFone models are equipped with ASUS PixelMaster technology, a unique ASUS-developed technology that combines software, hardware and optical design to deliver incredible image quality. ZenFone Selfie is the ultimate choice for selfies with its twin 13MP PixelMaster cameras and a dual-color, dual-LED Real Tone flash at both front and rear. It also features the new multifaceted polygonal design aesthetic to the ZenFone, offering beauty and power in abundance.

“ZenFone Laser 5.5 includes laser auto-focus technology in its 13MP PixelMaster camera for clear, near-instant shots in just 0.3 seconds. ZenFone Go 5.0 and ZenFone C 4.5 are equipped with PixelMaster camera for up to 400% brighter photo and video,” he added.

The comprehensive camera solutions of ZenFone were demonstrated with the ZenFone Selfie, which made its first entry into English-speaking Africa with the launch.
