While the device might share its name with the ZenFone 2, there are quite a few differences between the two smartphones
Sep 14 2015 By Nitansh RastogiASUS seems to be following Samsung’s footsteps by introducing several variants to ensure that it has an entire portfolio of devices to cater to the needs of the users. While the ZenFone 2 still remains its high-end offering, it’s targeting the photography enthusiasts on a budget with the ZenFone 2 Laser. Priced at Rs 9,999, the handset is the most affordable device with laser-aided focus, and as per our experience, it works very well. The device sports decent specs in other departmen
Read Full ReviewFirstly thanks to flipkart for their speedy delivery... no issues here..nnNow coming to the phone...nnOne word Marvelous ... truly a quality product from ASUS. I went through a lot of reviews , many youtube videos etc. and finally decided to hit the BUY button , and i'm more than happy that i did it. nnThe PROS :nn1. The looks - Fantastic looks for a 10k phone , its built well and the white back for the black front looks mature and far better than those cheap plastic lenovos, yurekas etc..... 10/10nn2. The screen - 5.5" with gorilla glass 4.. more than enough and even though its 720p it is sharp enough and bright with very good viewing angles and the touch response is smooth and accurate.... 10/10nn3. The performance - Has a snapdragon 410 1.21 ghz soc , snappy performance - smooth game play ,no lags in usual day to day tasks , 800 to 900mb ram always free , 10.8gb internal space available for usage and sd card can be added ,no issues with the performance in any way... 9.5/10. nn4.The camera - Very good camera with lots of settings and modes (manual mode, beautification, HDR , time lapse , time rewind , low light mode and many more).. Image quality is amazing in good lighting conditions and quite good in indoors as well (sometimes grainy in indoors but not a major issue), laser auto focus is really fast and focuses accurately, video recording is very good and what do i say about the front cam... simply superb for selfies with good color reproduction... so 8.5/10 for camera.nn5. The audio - Some guys were telling speaker volume is low... i think they were expecting a subwoofer or something... come on guys the speaker is crystal clear and loud enough for call ringtones , songs and video playback. And coming to the audio through headphones -- MARVELOUS... connect any good headphone and you will enter into a new world of music.... 10/10.nn6. The connectivity - Dual 4g sims and airtel 4g works fine no problems at all, wifi , bluetooth , all is well and call quality is clear and distortion free... 10/10.nn7. The Fuel tank - The battery backup is superb -- n --only calls and sms (2 days).n --3g/4g internet with whatsapp, fb, browsing , light gaming (1-1.5 days).n -- heavy usage (8-10 hrs easily)...n 10/10 for battery. but the charger is a 1 amp unit so takes some time to charge.nn8. The UI- smooth ,snappy and tons of features... font color ,font style ,themes ,icon packs , wallpapers , double tap to wake/sleep, gestures to launch apps, one handed mode..... and blah blah blah..... nnThe CONSnn1. No cons actually according to me and don't get me wrong that i'm exaggerating or something... the phone IS REALLY GOOD for 9999... ( will update if any cons found with usage)..nnThanks for reading, hope it helps.
Guys I guess I was the first one to preorder this phone but I received it a little late. From past 6 days I am using this spectacular demon and till now I am unable to find even one trait in it. I have compared all the phones in this price range and am assured no other phone can come close to Zenfone Laser’s design and this phone has surpassed all limits, display is crystal clear, call quality and signal reception is excellent and I did not have any problem in getting signals and making calls from my home where cell signals are pretty weak. Zen UI has hell lot of features and it is lavishly elegant and is a delight to use. This phone does not look like a 10,000 rupee phone and it appears to be a much superior phone and can easily be compared with other brand flagship phones and I’m very much impressed by its performance. nnI am not into gaming so i have no idea on gaming performance. This whizz is super performer for browsing and video streaming. I have watched youtube videos for hours, and there is no lagging, buffering or heating problem. The Gorilla Glass display is really stunning, even the top model phones do not feature Gorilla Glass protection. Thanks to Asus for providing Gorilla glass 4 for this budget phone. Clarity of pictures taken from rare camera is amazing and it captures high resolution pictures without shutter lag. dual LED tone flash with laser autofocus is icing on the cake. Pictures taken in low light are also very good. There are many more features in camera which I am yet to explore. Now coming to battery life, this phone is powered with 3000 mAh battery and for heavy users it will definitely last for more than a day and for moderate users like me it will last atleast 2 days. I watched a full 2 ½ hours movie and I talked for more than 2 hours on IMO and it consumed only 22% of battery. First time I charged the phone and I noticed the adapter became very hot but that was only for the first time. Since then there is no heating problem. Even after heavy usage there is no heating problem.nnOverall this is a very good deal with all these amazing features and at this price this is more than a best deal we could get. My recommendation to anyone who want to buy this spectacular demon – go for it!!!nnI am rating 10 stars to this phone, 5 stars here *****and the remaining 5 on the comments rating.nnVinay kumar you have fixed wrong tempered glass on your phone and it has blocked the proximity sensor which is on the left side of the earpiece and is invisible to our naked eyes. Just remove that tempered glass and fix the correct one and your problem will be solved.
