Asus had started taking pre-orders for its new Zenfone 2 Laser series back in August and said then that they Zenfone 2 Laser variants will be available from mid-September. But given the overwhelming response from consumers, the company has decided to pre-pone the sale of the Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5 and is now available on Flipkart for Rs. 9999.
Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5 Specs and Photos
We have started reviewing the Zenfone 2 Laser, and till now it seems like an excellent smartphone at this price. You have great battery-life, a good display and great performance. We will be coming up with a full-review on our YouTube channel soon, so stay tuned for that. Till then you can watch its unboxing and gaming review below.
If we talk of specs, the Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5 (ZE550KL) has a 5.5-inch 720p HD IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage running on the Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor with 4GB LTE support. It has a 13MP rear and 5MP front camera alongwith a 3000 mAh battery.
Peter Chang, Regional Head - South Asia & Country Manager – System Business Group - ASUS India added saying that he was humbled with the response the brand has got from India:
Being a new entrant in the market, consumers have accepted the brand with such great enthusiasm that we have to reset the sale date of our latest offering. Our endeavour has always been to ‘empower luxury to everyone’ and Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5 is priced in a way that targets masses with its high-end features. Today we have a reach in 660 cities through Flipkart and we aim to achieve 5% market share in the country by next year.
The Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5 is available in black, white and red colors priced at Rs. 9999. Asus also has launched the 5-inch variant of the Zenfone 2 laser (ZE500KL) on Flipkart priced at Rs. 9499 for 8GB variant and Rs. 9,799 for 16GB variant. But is comes with a way smaller 2070 mAh battery and the display. We wouldn't recommend going for the 5-inch Zenfone 2 Laser at this price.
