The ZenFone 3 Zoom is officially official by way of CES 2017, with ASUS taking the wraps off their latest device in Las Vegas.

The new ZenFone 3 Zoom features a dual-camera setup on the back, with a pair of 12-megapixel shooters. One of them is outfitted with a f/1.7 aperture, and a 25mm wide-angle lens. The other boasts a 59mm option, with a 2.3x optical zoom. The camera system also includes phase detection autofocus, subject tracking autofocus, and an improved laser focus system. The camera system can also “intelligently adjust ISO levels” due to ASUS’ own “SuperPixel” technology.

As far as the other specifications go, the ZenFone 3 Zoom boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, and there is a 5000mAh battery tucked inside as well. Both of those features combined means, according to ASUS, that the device can last 42 days on a single charge in standby mode, with the 4G radios activated.

The ZenFone 3 Zoom doesn’t have a price tag just yet, but the company says it will launch sometime in February.
