CES is right around the corner, folks, and that means we're sure to see some fancy new offerings from our favorite brands relatively soon. Jumping ahead of the action today was Asus, which ran a teaser on its Facebook page for a new ZenFone that appears to be sporting dual rear cameras.

At ten seconds long, the teaser is pretty short. However, we're treated to a quick flash of what appear to be two camera lenses early on in the video (pictured above). Asus then finishes things off with the statement "see what others can't see."

See what others can't see

What does Asus have up its sleeve? It's hard to tell right now, but you can judge for yourself at the source link below. Also be sure to follow our CES coverage starting January 6th, where we'll be sure to let you know what Asus is cooking up, along with much, much more.

  • Are you sure it's not a dual LED setup? "See what others can't see": IR LED?
  • It's probably some kind of 3D imaging system, or maybe a sub-IR camera, to aid in certain image enhancement functions. That's the feeling I get from current phone camera trends. They've been trying various unique ways of enhancing image quality or providing functions of larger cameras in smaller form factors. Posted via Android Central App

  • If they use IR for night shots they will have to remove IR filter from the lens, which is no good. So only thing to do is have one camera with filter for day shots , one without and 2 flashes. Posted via Android Central App
