As its name suggests, the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser employs laser autofocus technology for its main camera allowing it to lock focus on an object in merely 0.3 seconds.
Revealed alongside the ZenFone Max with 5000mAh battery and ZenFone 2 Deluxe with Polygonal Design, this one focuses on photography and ditches Intel for a Qualcomm processor.
The ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser flaunts a smaller 5-inch display with Gorilla Glass 4 for protection. It has the same design as the ZenFone 2 with a curved back and rear keys.
Its 13MP camera at the back is in between the laser autofocus system and two-tone LED flash. On the other side is a wide angle 5MP snapper which is also autofocus.
Under the hood, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 runs the show instead of the usual Intel Atom. There’s also 2GB of RAM and ASUS’ ZenUI on top of Android Lollipop.
