Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
The ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser is a good phone; for $200, you get a premium design, excellent battery life, and dual-SIM card support. With that said, there are also some significant drawbacks: the camera performance is just average, performance is bottlenecked by 2 GB of RAM, and the software design appears outdated.

As a whole, Asus did a commendable job at packing in a lot of smartphone into something that costs less than 1/3 of today’s premium flagships, at just $200. The design of the Laser might be a bit commonplace, but the nice materials being used for the phone’s construction do a great job at mimicking the look and feel of a much more expensive product.

For a camera enthusiast, Zenfone 3 Laser could be a good choice, but since it has average performance, you can consider buying Zenfone 3 Max with the large battery or Lenovo Zuk with overall good performance.

70% Asus Zenfone 3 laser Review- The sleek stylish sub 20K Smartphone, however pricey
Source: Tech Magnifier Archive.org version
Zenfone series from Asus is one of the very popular series of smartphones in budget smartphones category, however, not very popular in the mid-range segment. The latest in the Zenfone family, Asus Zenfone 3 laser offers a sleek unibody metal design. The smartphone is easy to use with one hand and offers decent daylight camera photography. Though, the images captured in low light are a little grainier. The smartphone offers a good performance and multitasking is also fun. However, if you’re looking for a device that could offer you both performance and battery life, than you can look for other smartphones such as Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Lenovo Vibe K5 Note.

65% Asus ZenFone 3 Laser Review: Borderline decent smartphone, with an unfortunate price tag
Source: Tech2.in.com Archive.org version
Asus ZenFone 3 Laser is a decent smartphone in the whole ZenFone 3 series. But despite the decent attempt at going with tried and tested way, there is no way that I would suggest this smartphone to anyone for the Rs 18,999. I would never pay this much money for a smartphone that has issues such as micro stutters and lags in operation, average camera and does not have essentials such as USB Type-C and fast charging in 2016.

Asus Zenfone 3 Laser Review: It’s All About the Camera!
Source: Tech PP Archive.org version
The Laser series by the Taiwanese company has over the time spoilt us by offering good quality cameras at a comparatively lower price. The price is higher this time around, but while the device has scored well on the camera and the battery front, we feel it couldn’t really step it up in terms of performance – blame it on the processor perhaps. The Asus Zenfone 3 Laser scores a few brownie points but will find the going tough against the likes of the Lenovo Z2 Plus and Le Eco Le Max 2 which offer the top notch Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor at a similar price. We think the Laser definitely has its task ‘cut’ out when it comes to giving other phones in its price segment some stiff competition.

A premium looking phone from such a recognized brand can be better off competing for the spec-oriented devices. Not saying that the ZenFone 3 Laser is underpowered by its specs, people do expect other things rather than just specs. A good camera, a great design along with a better display and better battery backup, a phone that fits well in the hands may not be found in the phones that boast its hardware.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser is the larger variant in ZenFone 3 series sized at 5.5-inch featuring laser autofocus and a metallic design along with 2.5D curved glass. ZenFone 3 series is now focusing on the premium segment rather picking up the highly competitive budget price bracket that is already dominated by the brands like Xiaomi, Lenovo, and LeEco. ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser is priced at ₹18,999. We have shared our hands-on review below.

60% Asus Zenfone 3 Laser review: Good phone, but pricey for its specs
Source: The Indian Express Archive.org version
Asus Zenfone 3 Laser has some points in its favour: I like the design, the camera is good but can be painfully slow in most situations, and the battery life will be enough for most regular users. The problem for Asus Zenfone 3 Laser isn’t competition from other phones, it is from the brand itself. The Zenfone 3 Max has a lot more battery on offer, and comes in a cheaper variant as well. Plus, there are phones with better processors like Lenovo Z2 Plus with Snapdragon 820 available at Rs 17,999 in the market. With the Snapdragon 430, Zenfone 3 Laser seems overpriced at Rs 18,999.

Priced at Rs 18,999, ASUS has priced the Zenfone 3 Laser at a premium. But looking at the specs offered by the device, it definitely feels underpowered at this price segment. Redmi 3S Prime sporting the same processor is priced 8999. So it is definitely hard to recommend the Zenfone 3 Laser at this pricing, probably the best pricing for this devicee would have been sub 15k. The only saving grace for this device is the camera, but then for this pricing the device is not the best value for money.

Asus Zenfone 3 Laser Review: The True Mid-Range Zenfone 3?
Source: Unbox Archive.org version
At the end of the day, the ZF3 Laser is a great mid-range phone that’s not out of reach for most working class Juans out there. It’s a solid performer, and can handle most, if not all, Android apps you throw at it. It has an impressive camera as well, and as long as you do your part, it’s capable of producing really good photos in a pinch. At Php 11,995, it’s slight more expensive than the ZF3 Max, but the extra cash you spend for it is worth it.

The handset can easily last one full day of use with light to medium use which I feel is decent enough for a 3,000mAh battery. If you are looking to buy a phone with great camera and a decent battery life then look no more, It has everything one looks for a daily use mobile. It looks great, has an impressive screen and a beautiful UI. I just wish Asus would have used a better processor, but even now it is one of the best camera phones you can buy under 20,000INR.

The Asus Zenfone 3 Laser has a better camera than the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, LeEco Le 2, Lenovo Z2 Plus and Xiaomi Mi Max. However, these phones are also miles ahead in performance. In my opinion, what those phones lack in the camera department, they more than make up for in others, and that’s why I wouldn’t recommend the Zenfone 3 Laser over them.

Retailing at 11,995 pesos or about 260USD for the base model the Asus Zenfone 3 Laser stands at a good pricepoint for the camera focused while providing reasonable processing capabilities-bloatware aside. It’s properly positioned between the Zenfone 3 max and Zenfone 3 to give consumers an option.

Priced at close to Rs. 19,999, it is really hard to make a case for the Zenfone 3 Laser. Sure, the phone isn’t all too bad but similar phones can be had for well less than half the price that Asus is commanding.

ASUS did a good job in making the Zenfone 3 Laser. It’s a worthy successor to the Zenfone 2 Laser thanks to the improved and more premium design, upgraded internals, and good pricing. At Php11,995, it’s not heavy in the pockets and in fact, it’s the most affordable 4GB RAM smartphone in the Zenfone 3 family. So if you’re one of those who is looking for a smartphone with said strengths, the Zenfone 3 Laser should be on your list.

The biggest problem for the ZF3 Laser we feel is price. If ASUS launched this particular phone earlier, at least along with the ZF3 Max, it could have had a good head-start against all the other Snapdragon 430-equipped phones coming out this holiday season. As it stands it faces very stiff competition from several local and international brands.

Asus has gambled a little by pricing the ZenFone 3 Laser at around Rs. 20,000. Xiaomi's Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime (Review) are powered by the same octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC, and are priced below Rs. 10,000. Performance in benchmarks is below that of other phones we have seen at the ZenFone 3 Laser's price level.

This display is quite big for a smartphone but frequently used for smartphones.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.

Only few smartphones are more lightweight than this.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Incorporated, a Taiwanese multinational company, produces motherboards, graphics cards, optical drives, PDAs, computer monitors, notebook computers, servers, networking products, mobile phones, computer cases, computer components, and computer cooling systems.
