In September this year ASUS introduced a new generation of Zenvolution devices, which included the third-generation smartphone ASUS ZenFone 3, a stylish ultra-thin and ultra-light notebook ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 , new hybrid mobile computers ASUS Transformer 3 Pro T303 , ASUS Transformer 3 T305 and ASUS ZenWatch 3, a smart watch running Android Wearâą.
New friends of ASUS â Murad and Natalia Osmann, the creators of the famous photo-series âFollow Meâ #Followmeto decided to try new products. As part of a joint project with ASUS, these renowned travelers set off in search of adventure to the faraway land of volcanoes â the mysterious and beautiful Kamchatka, and at the same time tested ASUSâ new products in the harshest natural conditions. So ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 notebook and ASUS ZenFone 3 ZE552KL smartphone helped them on this exciting journey.
Murad and Natalia Osmann captivated the world with pictures in which the girl leads her beloved, the photographer, to the most beautiful corners of our planet. So itâs no surprise they chose ASUS for their partnership, because when youâre traveling, a product that combines great features with an innovative, stylish design is a must-have.
âIn Kamchatka Peninsula communication with the outside world is especially important, although itâs not available everywhere. Thatâs why you canât do without the most powerful gadgets in the trip,â the guys say.
A land, shrouded in mystery and incredible stories, where you can easily hear the heartbeat of nature and feel the breath of life, where ancient volcanoes meet the vast Pacific Ocean â thatâs Kamchatka. During their week on the peninsula, Murad and Natalia took three full-fledged routes and managed to experience all the elements of this amazing region.
They traveled all over the peninsula: they conquered volcanoes, looked into the hills, swam with seals and even surfed. And at the same time we tested the ASUS tech in these difficult and unbelievable conditions.
Murad Osmann, general producer of Hype Pro, author of the #FollowMeTo projectâKamchatka is the place where things become especially important that seem ordinary and uninteresting to an average city dweller. For example, the weather. In Kamchatka, the weather is totally unpredictable: you may take a raincoat, but the sun will be scorching all day long. Or the right comfortable shoes. Or connection with the outside world. This is especially important. The signal on the peninsula does not catch everywhere, and certainly the high-speed Internet â it is at all impossible luxury. But good tech is very important and itâs a must for any tripâ.
ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 laptop helped the guys to quickly create the route, transfer the photos onto the hard drive, do the initial color correction, refresh the memory of all the amazing facts, which had been collected about Kamchatka before the trip. Itâs exceptionally thin, at just 11.9 mm, which is smaller than any paper guide, so you can simply load up an electronic guide like FollowMeToâs itineraries and go on your adventures.
So, thanks to the fact that the guys checked with the offline maps uploaded to the laptop, they did not get lost on the slopes and did not lose a whole day on the road. Moreover, this laptop can in no way be called a âloadâ, because it weighs only 910 grams, and it does not need to take a lot of chargers, because in standalone mode it works up to 9 hours, and for that time you can even get on the Kliuchevskaya Sopka!
This notebook also has an interesting feature that will surely appeal to photographers â IPS screen with wide viewing angles and increased color saturation. It makes the photos youâve just taken look more colorful without losing their naturalness.
ASUS ZenFone 3 ZE552KL is another device that is indispensable for guys on the road.
Natalia Osmann, co-author of #FollowMeTo, creator of the FollowMeTo travel website.TravelâIt seems awful for modern people to leave the house without a cell phone. What to say about going on an amazing trip like a trip to Kamchatka without it,â says . â We couldnât let it out of our hands, took photos of the magnificent views and, of course, took selfies â we couldnât do without them! The more so, this model is just created for ideal self-portraits: you focus on your sweetheart, and at once the skin is automatically smoothed, the light becomes softer, and the colors contrast more. And a special bonus for girls â if desired you can have your eyes enlarged, your nose reduced and your face contours corrected â well, just some kind of photoplasty! And the external camera on the ZenFone 3 has 16 megapixels, so the pictures are of such high quality that they can be printed and hung on the wall immediately, or in our case, posted to Instagram directly from our base camp the only place where there was occasional Internet .â.
And, of course, we canât forget to mention the unique Zen design of the devices: perfectly smooth and streamlined body is a high-tech embodiment of the Zen philosophy. All landscapes in Kamchatka are subject to the same harmony, be it the volcanic hills, endless fields or the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. After all, thereâs not as much in common between quality technology and the beauty of nature as it might seem at first glance.
