As expected, IFA 2016 has plenty of new wearables. ASUS has also introduced its new smartwatch called ZenWatch 3. Unlike other smartwatches, the ZenWatch 3 comes with a few unique features that are really important for watches, such as fast charging technology.
Since the battery is one of the biggest disadvantages of modern watches, it is very important that you can charge it fast. ASUS says it will charge the battery from 0 to 60 percent in only 15 minutes, and there are various power saving features.
In terms of design, there are three buttons that can also serve as shortcuts to your favorite apps. The ZenWatch 3 is also the company's first round watch that has a 1.39-inch AMOLED display inside the 316L stainless steel case. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor, 512 MB of RAM and comes with 4 GB of internal storage.
