Motorola Zine ZN5 (pronounced "zeen", stylized ZINE ZN5), or the MotoZine, is a candybar mobile phone from Motorola. The ZN5 was released in China in July 2008, and in November 2008 for T-Mobile US, becoming the first phone equipped with a 5.0 megapixel camera to be subsidized on a major US carrier. It was also released for sale in Central and Eastern Europe.
The Zine’s operating system was MotoMagx. It was the first Motorola phone to include a 5.0MP camera and one of the few at the time with Wi-Fi, though it did not support T-Mobile's Hotspot@Home service. It features Motorola's then-new ModeShift technology, introduced in July 2008 on the Rokr E8. It includes Kodak Imaging Technology and Kodak Perfect Touch Technology that supposedly makes photos brighter and sharper. The camera software allows saving RAW pictures in the lossless TIFF format.
It is the earliest known mobile phone to feature a variable aperture camera, adjusting between 2.8 and 5.6.
