ASUS is notorious for releasing teaser videos before big events, and CES 2015 is no exception. There latest video is titled, “See What Others Can’t See” and has a series of tones which sounds a lot like Morse code.
The code translates into “optical zoom,” which obviously indicates that they plan on showing some sort of a device with that feature. We have yet to see smartphones with optical zoom, so this would be a huge feat. Yes, we have had phones like the Galaxy S 4 Zoom, but to me, that’s a camera with the ability to make and place phone calls. Those types of devices are just too big and bulky to really be classified as a smartphone. ASUS could be planning something similar or they could actually be incorporating optical zoom in something a little more compact, such as a traditional smartphone.
I guess we will know pretty soon, but I still stress that optical zoom means nothing if the quality isn’t there. Android smartphone cameras still need to show more progress in the quality of shots before getting excited about optical zoom. Still, it would be a remarkable step if ASUS can pull this off. Stay tuned to next week to find out what ASUS has in store.
