asus zenfone 3 laser 5.5 inch

I personally used the device for a long time and now its time to shear the Asus ZenFone 3 Laser Review with all of you.

Asus ZenFone 3 Laser is avaiable on flipkart. Budget smartphones are getting better over the past couple of years. 2016 was especially an incredible year for affordable phones worth buying. It is now more than ever before to spend about 400 dollars or less on a mobile phone that closely resembles the experience of a device that costs twice as much.

This is good for consumers who want a great user experience and without having to spend much money. But also, that means, to stick out of this extremely crowded market, manufacturers that are creating these affordable phones must differentiate as much as possible.

When it comes to the design segment the Zenfone 3 Laser, it has solid aluminum metal build with a unibody frame, the device feels premium to carry in hand with its sleek design and curved edges which allows us to comfortably carrying the device with single hand, however the device feels slippery in hand, if you do not use a protective case for the device.

The display is designed with a 2.5D curved screen and is protected by corning gorilla glass. An 8 Megapixel front-facing camera is provided for the selfies. At the bottom of the display, capacitive buttons for navigation are placed, and sadly, they are not backlit.

The 13 MP rear-facing camera is placed at the back and has a LED flash and a laser light as well. Right below the camera flash, there is a vertically designed fingerprint scanner which is quite small to place your finger on it, and it takes time to get used to it.

The display is good under the direct sunlight; the auto-brightness sensor works really well to adjust accordingly to the light. The visibility from different viewing angles is great, and color reproduction is good. The display brightness and colors can be adjusted by the pre-installed “Splendid” app by Asus. The touch response from the screen even with the gloves is amazing. It has a blue light filter which helps in reducing glare and the strain on the eyes. All in all, the display quality is decent.

Performance, Software and UI of Zenfone 3 Laser

The devices sport a midrange Octa-Core 64bits- Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 430 processor paired with Adreno 505 GPU and powered with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage which can be expanded up to 128GB via microSD card.

Asus ZenFone 3 Laser’s performance is not its USP, although it manages to perform all the basic tasks quite well enough. When it comes to multi-tasking, the lag and stutter is evident. The device gets slightly warm while gaming and charging the phone. Zenfone 3 Laser struggles with high frame rates for graphically intense games. The fingerprint scanner works well to unlock the device, to my liking the fingerprint scanner is quite small to accommodate your finger easily to unlock the device.

The Zenfone 3 laser was launched with the Android 6.0 Marshmallow with the company’s custom ZenUI 3.0. And now, after two major Operating system updates, the device runs Android 8.0 Oreo with the ZenUI 5.0. The performance of the device is much improved than the previous version of the ZenUI.

The ZenUI looks sleek and efficient. In fact, it is quite better than the bloated UI. However, there are still a few pre-installed Asus apps still available on the device. The Zenfone 3 Laser comes with a hybrid SIM card slot which can have a single SIM and microSD card at a time or both the SIM card.

Camera of Zenfone 3 laser

The device comes with a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera (f/2.0 aperture) with the Sony IMX214 sensor and 1.127mi pixel size. The photos were great under the daylighting and the Night mode is impressive too, the images were clear, and the has good colors as well. The LED flash also helps to make the photo even better under low lighting conditions. The macro shots were fantastic with good details and sharp colors. Using the 13MP camera, the Super Resolution mode enables you to take 52MP pictures and then combine them together.

We attempted to record 1080p videos on the Zenfone 3 Laser, the 13 Megapixel camera video quality was fantastic. The electronic image stabilization (EIS) feature was handy when recording videos, capturing the videos clean even when our hands were not stable.

The selfie camera of the device is an 8 Megapixel shooter for selfies. It has a Beautification mode which is enabled by default, and the option is provided to turn off the Beautification mode — overall a decent camera to take selfies.

Battery

A 3000mAh non removable battery is packed to power the device. The battery backup is decent and will last a day on moderate usage. The “power-saving mode” is also included to boost the battery life of the device. To charge the battery of handset, a micro USB port is provide by the company, it would have been nice to have a USB Type-C port as the phone does not support fast charging.

Conclusion

The Zenfone 3 Laser is a well-built Smartphone that performs reasonably well. It has a good display, a great camera, and a decent battery. I wouldn’t recommend the Zenfone 3 Laser if you need a performance device with a good battery life. There are a lot more choices available in the market in the same price segment and are better in overall performance.
