ASUS today announced a Zen-inspired product lineup - new ZenPad tablets, the ZenFone Selfie smartphone and the ZenWatch 2 smartwatch - at the ASUS Zensation press conference demo area at Computex, Taipei. ZenPad is a series of premium tablets that combine styling with entertainment and productivity capabilities. They are available in three sizes - the 7-inch ZenPad 7.0 (Z370C/CG/CL), the 8-inch ZenPad 8.0 (Z380C/KL) and ZenPad S 8.0 (Z580C/CA) with optional Z Stylus, and the 10-inch ZenPad 10.1 (Z300C/CG/CL) with an optional keyboard - and offering models with Wi-Fi, LTE/3G connectivity and phone functionality.

ZenPad has an expansive HD IPS display featuring the ASUS VisualMaster suite of visual enhancement technologies - including ASUS Tru2Life and TruVivid - that brings image-processing found on high-end TVs to a tablet. ASUS Tru2Life analyzes each pixel in an image before it is displayed and performs an intelligent contrast and sharpness adjustments to boost dynamic range.

ASUS TruVivid improves screen clarity, brightness, and touch responsiveness by transforming the conventional four-layer display design - composed of cover glass, a touch panel, air gap, and an LCD module - into a two-layer, fully-laminated design that eliminates the air gap, resulting in higher optical transparency.

Complementing its display, ZenPad is the first tablet to integrate DTS Premium Sound technology. The built-in DTS-HD coder-decoder (codec) lets users play back or stream movies and music with up to 5.1 channels of DTS surround sound to a connected audio system. ZenPad also includes DTS Sound Studio to transform stereo audio into virtual surround-sound that users can enjoy either through ZenPad's speakers or using headphones.

ZenPad 8.0 (Z380)

ZenPad 8.0 features clean lines, embossed-leather patterning, and premium styling. It is the first tablet to feature an interchangeable cover design that lets users customize their tablet with functional back covers. These can provide extra features and additional color options. Zen Clutch is a fashion-forward accessory that combines style with premium materials to provide a protection solution for ZenPad 8.0. Zen Case is another stylish accessory that lets users outfit ZenPad 8.0 in their choice of five colors and features a fine leather texture. Audio Cover brings 5.1-channel surround sound to a tablet for the first time. Power Case extends ZenPad 8.0's battery life, giving users up to 15 hours of usage.

ZenPad 8.0 is available with LTE/Wi-Fi connectivity and phone functionality (Z380KL) or as a Wi-Fi-only model (Z380C).

ZenWatch 2

ASUS also announced ZenWatch 2, a stylish wearable device powered by Android Wear and produced in partnership with Google. Crafted with attention to detail using high-quality materials, ZenWatch 2 is a precision watch that serves as a smart companion to Android smartphones, providing wearers with information at a glance and letting them get things done with a touch or voice command.

ZenWatch 2 is designed to be a personal device that wearers can customize. It is available in two sizes and three stainless-steel case colors, with 18 different strap material and color combinations, and instantly-changeable and customized watch faces along with an app that lets wearers design their own.

ZenWatch 2 builds upon the original ZenWatch, offering an even more refined design, an improved user experience, and the introduction of new functionality. ZenWatch 2 now includes a metal watch crown, providing new way to interact with the watch. It also comes with an all-new magnetic charger that features easy attachment and improved battery recharge times.

ZenWatch 2 features a durable stainless-steel case available in two sizes - and Silver, Gunmetal and Rose Gold colors. The watch crystal is designed with a gentle curve made from tough Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection against scratches and damage.

The new smartphone is powered by the latest version of Android Wear and serves as a smart companion for Android phones by extending functionality and providing wearers with a window to view incoming calls, messages, notifications, and other important information, without having to remove their phone from their pocket or bag. The original ASUS ZenWatch introduced many exclusive features including deep ASUS ZenUI integration, FoneHelper, activity and fitness tracking, and Remote Camera. ASUS ZenWatch 2 improves upon every aspect of the original ZenWatch experience.

Enhanced Remote Camera - one of the most popular features of ZenWatch - lets wearers display their smartphone's camera viewfinder remotely right on their wrist. This frees them to take photos from creative angles where the viewfinder would be difficult to see, such as when holding the phone overhead at a concert or other crowded event. Remote Camera is also useful for group photos, letting the photographer compose the photo, release the shutter, and check the final result while being included in the shot. Remote Camera has been improved for ZenWatch 2, offering faster performance, more range, the ability to switch between the phone's front and rear cameras, and zoom capability.

In addition to software improvements, ZenWatch 2 has numerous hardware design improvements - an IP67 water-resistance rating and an all-new magnetic charger that attaches to ZenWatch 2 and offers improved battery recharge times. ASUS ZenWatch 2 works together with the redesigned Wellness smartphone app. The device is an activity tracker that provides additional tracking functionality tailored for activities such as running and cycling.

The next-gen Wellness app lets ZenWatch 2 wearers view all of their activity information in one location. It displays progress towards goals as well as activity summaries with graphs, and can be used to set future fitness goals.
