Unlock at your convenience

Messy or busy fingers? No problem! ZenFone 5Q has a facial-recognition system — face unlock — that recognizes your unique features and rapidly unlocks your phone. For safety, it hides your private notifications and contents if a different face is detected. There’s also a rear fingerprint sensor that’s perfectly positioned for the way you hold your phone. It unlocks ZenFone 5Q in just 0.3 seconds — even if your fingers are damp!

Camera:

ZenFone 5Q has a superb 16MP+120 degree rear camera that captures every precious moment with vivid clarity and stunning detail. In just 0.03 seconds — over 10x faster than the blink of an eye — its phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) locks on to the subject, so every shot’s perfectly focused. Full HD videos benefit from electronic image stabilization (EIS), for crisp, blur-free and totally captivating action. And for capturing the ultimate detail, you can use the amazing 4K UHD video recording mode2.
