ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser Review: Should Have Been Cheaper

ASUS has been silently changing its strategies for the past 1 year. The first sign of change was evident in the Zenfone 3 lineup. The newer Zenfones were faster, amazingly designed, and came at a premium price.

From a company that chased cut-to-cut pricing, it started positioning itself as one which focused more on the design and premium feel of its devices. The change hasn’t been without resistance. Today we are going to talk about the latest device from ASUS, the Zenfone 3 laser.

So let’s get started with our ASUS Zenfone 3 laser review.

The Zenfone 3 laser comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430, 1. 4 GHz octa-core chipset, 4 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of internal storage. It also comes with support for microSD expandable storage up to 128 GB via the hybrid sim slot that it has.

ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser Review: The Details.

We tested this phone for quite some time and during our time with this phone, we came to the following conclusion.

The camera for this device is a 13 MP one and is good because of all the software optimizations and the great camera app. The front camera is an 8 MP camera that takes detailed videos.

One of the cons for this one was that the noise cancellation applied during video recordings was too high.

Here’s a short sample recording from the front camera to give you a better idea.

The phone has a great display with good viewing angles. Another con that we found was that the speaker had a very feeble volume and it was not at all usable in crowded areas.

The ASUS Zenfone 3 laser retails for a price of INR 16,999 and for this price, this smartphone is significantly overpriced.

You can get the Lenovo Zuk Z2 for a slightly higher price and that phone would be quite good when compared to this one.

Here’s our detailed video review of this phone, watch on to know everything about this smartphone in detail.
