The smartphone is further powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor and is coupled with 3GB of RAM. On the storage front, the smartphone includes a 32GB internal storage. It ablso includes a fingerprint sensor on the back right below the rear camera set-up.

In the US, the Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom is reportedly shipping with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Currently, the smartphone is available on several online stores in the US. However, if the rumours are to be believed the device might hit the Indian shores soon. Well, for now, the coming of the device to India is just a rumour and should be taken with a pinch of salt until Asus confirms itself.
