ASUS ZenFone 2, Divergent Edition
The ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser is not a more affordable derivative of the ASUS ZenFone 2. It is a unique divergent model based on a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, instead of the quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor.
As its name suggests, the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser's key feature is its laser auto-focusing system. It's designed to complement the 13 MP main camera's contrast detection system. Its laser beams do a better and faster job of focusing on objects, especially close up. Later in the review, we will show you how effective the laser focusing system is.
The ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser smartphone is more than just a cheaper version of the flagship ASUS ZenFone 2 though. See for yourself in this comparison of the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser (ZE550KL), and its flagship brother, the ASUS ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML).
