Build and Screen
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser boasts a decently durable build with a combination of brushed metal and matte rubber. The phablet doesn’t digress significantly from the original Zenfone 2 in terms of design. While the device fits well in your hand, it is not lightweight at 170 grams.
The Zenfone 2 Laser crams in a massive 5.5-inch diagonal display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and pixel density of 267 ppi offering users great viewing experience.
The smartphone comes multiple variants offering displays measuring 5.0 inch, 5.5-inch, and 6.0 inch. The screen is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
Camera and Storage
The main selling point of ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser is its 13-megapixel primary camera with laser autofocus. This feature lets you achieve solid focus in as little as 3 seconds for improved image-capturing capability. The shooter also has dual LED flash to further ensure you take superb images.
On the front of the phablet is a 5-megapixel snapper with autofocus that should allow you take good quality selfies. Onboard storage memory is a generous 16 GB, extendable up to an amazing 128 GB!
