Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5 Review: A good choice under Rs. 10000

By Abhinav Pathak on Sep 21, 2015 07:43 AM

Asus has a smartphone in every price segment, but what makes the Zenfone 2 Laser a good option under Rs. 10,000 ($150) is its solid build quality, excellent battery-life and decent cameras. ZenUI is feature rich and offers a lot of customization including themes, although the amount of bloatware on the device needs to come down. The rear camera on the Zenfone 2 Laser focuses fast, captures decent amount of detail and works well in ambient light. The only real competition to the Zenfone 2 Laser is the Moto G3, and this one is cheaper and comes with a larger display. Overall, the Zenfone 2 Laser is bound to be another hit for the company.

8.4

Asus has another good smartphone in their hands with the Zenfone 2 Laser, solid build, decent cameras and great battery-life. The only letdown is the weird button placement.
