ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE500KL with 8-Megapixel Camera and Laser Auto Focus System

Last year, I reviewed ASUS ZenFone 4 and ZenFone 5 on this space and it was only 1-2GB RAM then.  Earlier this year, ASUS created a trend in the market releasing the first smartphone in the world equipped with 4GB of RAM and we just went a little bonkers.

The time to unbox dawned upon us once again.  This time, we are unboxing the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser.

The ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser is incredibly thin measuring only 3.9mm but offers an ergonomic design that gives a good grip on my hand.  I’d probably describe this as “the feels,” which the youth these days refer more to “emotions.”  The curved back helps the grip and my small index finger can naturally adjust the volume without any strain and serve as my selfie key.  Its trademark concentric circle design with spin pitch of only 0.13mm complements the hairline metallic finish in the back cover.  I have an iPhone 6 and if not for the pseudo-leather cover, I would’ve probably dropped my phone easily many times due to the flat and slippery surface.

After the “feels,” I would normally wipe the screen since my fingerprints would be all over it.  ZenFone 2 Laser has a 20nm anti-fingerprints layer on its cover glass which makes sliding and swiping the phone prints-free!  Other than the special coating, ASUS ZenFone 2 has TruVivid Technology that only needs 2 layers of the sensor glass and air gap which minimizes the reflection on your screen and maximizes clarity and brightness.
