ASUS introduced recently the V80 slim camera handset, which delivers 2M-pixel resolution, auto focus and 10cm close-up functions. The V80 is one of the slimmest mobile phones in the market that offers such advanced digital photography features.

The 2M-pixel built-in camera and auto focus function combined to deliver advanced digital photography for high-quality photographs and videos that are always in focus. The V80 also comes with another innovative feature, 10cm close-up shots, when users need to capture sharp, detail images. For night time photography or scenes that require panoramic angles, the V80 offers flashlight and horizontal photo features as well.

The V80 further supports Bluetooth wireless printing functions. Take a picture and print it out immediately on any Bluetooth applicable printers.

The V80 is both a MP3 player and FM radio. The hotkeys located conveniently on the phone enable users to quickly locate and play their favorite songs and radio shows. To deliver high-quality audio enjoyment, it supports Bluetooth wireless stereo headphones, and incorporated stereo amplifier and Flight Mode for music during flights.

Users can program the V80 to automatically record FM frequencies. Additionally, when listening to different music genres, the ASUS phone provides four special modes - Classical, Jazz, Rock and Electronics - to bring out the very best in sound quality.

QR Code is already widely implemented in the most technologically advanced countries such as Japan and South Korea. The V80 adopted this new innovation by incorporating the QR Code scanner and barcode decoding software.

QR Codes, which are barcode representations of website addresses, phone numbers or any information, will be included on advertisements, product packaging brochures or posters. Simply scan the code and the V80 mobile phone will automatically connect to the appropriate websites for fast online access and convenient information download.
