- - 2 symmetric (slot is not combined, i.e. you can put a memory card and two SIM cards);
- 4 cores, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, Support 4G, Android 5.0.2;
- Glass Corning Gorilla Glass 4;
- it works smoothly and quickly (no hangs);
- smart GPS;
- removable battery;
- very nice design;
- Like the blocking / unlock double tap across the screen;
- Pretty good battery (I have 2400 mAh).
- There are no shortcomings for me, unless of course find fault in the trifles.
Well, if you find fault, then here are minor inconveniences:
1. The coup cannot be turned off the sound of an incoming call and alarm clock;
2. No backlighting touch keys;
3. Dubious convenience of volume buttons on the rear panel may just need to get used to;
4. The brightness of the screen is weak;
5. Little accessories.
In general, the device is more than satisfied. I did not even expect such a device for such a cost (I bought in 11690). In my opinion a very decent device.
For those who doubt, take boldly, definitely you will not regret.
By the way, I'm already accustomed to small disadvantages that I described above and I do not feel any special discomfort. In general, the device is super and my score of course 5 points out of 5.
There were questions about the combined slot or not. So, for those who do not know, the memory card is inserted slightly above the first SIM card, i.e. Above the first SIM card and separate SIM card.

- 1. Assembly - without complaints, good. Skipov, the backlats are not seen, everything is adjacent tightly, there is no cracks.
2. For work: for all the time of use, not a single hang, unexpected reboot, the system works smoothly, without brakes, animations are also smooth and pleasant to the eye, I would like to note that Android L stepped far from Android 4.xx ( It was earlier two tablets from ASUS on Android 4.xx). I will note that I do not play games on the smartphone, and all that I need to use, social network, office, cards, Internet applications - all works without brakes.
Summary - iron is quite balanced, for a couple of years of use is enough.
3. The screen - the color rendition is good, but no more, compared to the NL820 ASUS loses a little. But in a bright sun, everything is read, without any problems. Brightness settings: Manual and automatic, There are presets of color temperature settings: cold / neutral / warm. 5 inches grabs, the density of pixels is good, the graininess is not noticed. It is worth Gorilla Glass 4, but I bought a protective glass for 180r. and a book book for 300r.
4. The battery is removable at 2400 mAh. Its autonomous work is enough for a couple of days, with an average use and medium brightness (someone wrote, which is enough for 3-4 days with active use: Tell me more details, I also want so much). If you just use without the Internet, and just like a dialer / sms, it is enough for 3 days or more.
5. Communications - Here, too, everything is fine, GPS satellites cling, 4G works, 2 SIM cards (I use, although only one slot, the second without a need). The microphone is good, the speaker too, I hear everyone, everyone hears me.
6. Memory - operational - 2 GB, free about a gigabyte, its 16 GB, free about 10 GB, there is a slot for expansion, it is worth a card on 16 GB of grade 10, I do not have problems, applications are put on both the card and memory.
7. The camera - I rarely photograph, I can not say anything here, read the characteristics, laser focus, a bunch of settings, I practically do not use it.
Here is a barrel of honey for
- Nevertheless, there are, but not critical and concern mostly ergonomics, most likely everyone has their own experience, someone will agree with me, someone is not.
1. Mark case. Although it is covered with a pleasant SoftTouch layer, but very marky, traces of fingers remain, the acquisition of the cover remains. On the screens account - the same, the oleophobic coating is not, it is dirty with prints, you have to think about the acquisition of glass or film. The branded concentric circles at the bottom under the touch keys of the navigation are also clogged with dust and mud during operation, it is necessary to be brusing a special to the screens.
2. Sound keys from behind - my taste solution is quite controversial when you talk, conveniently when you watch the video in the horizontal position of the phone, it is not convenient. If they did it classically on the side, it would be better (again in my opinion).
3. Turn-off / lock key from above - 50/50, to lock here there is a double tap on the screen, which is convenient, and turn on / off the phone very rarely, so the norm.
4. Navigation keys are physical and have no backlight, but there is a vibration, at first it got used to the dark, but the light goes from the screen, so you do not get confused in the 3rd keys.
On this all shortcomings / quit. Problems and glitches affecting the work of the smartphone itself are not detected.
Experience in using this smartphone - from March 26, 2016. I changed my outdated Nokia Lumia 820 (by the way, purchased in Citylink on July 26, 2013). The first thing I want to note is the price / quality ratio / filling is optimal. Bought for 11700r. (NL820 in 2013 for 15000r.) Compared to WP10, Lollipop put in a stupor due to the abundance of settings and customization of the smartphone, Windov Mobile is still pretty scarciful (I say as a WP10 user). Quite quickly used to this abundance, this is what lacked so much before.
As a result, I use inexpensive (read - budget), a high-quality smartphone, on a modern OS (given the speed of flagships and middling both by iron, and in software, I do not see the point of paying 40000-6000000s for a smart, which will still be obsolete 2, but after 3 years exactly).
That's all, I hope this smart will serve faithfully and the truth is not yet one year.

- Many people write that a lot of marriage will come. For me, cilatinc and marriage are not combined, well, how much is it possible? Could for the sake of decency at least 1 marriage to send me, well, suspiciously ...)
1. I have never tried 4G, I even bought a SIM card separately, when I connected a little jaw didn't fall out and wondered, why do I now have a computer?) You are loaded on YouTube 720 on your phone, the pages in the browser are much faster than on the computer, It's a shame.
2. The processor and vidyuha in the phone is not so topova, I would call it below the average, but some miracle is played in the asphalt 8, Hearthstone is normal, I love to play the game and the first thing I installed them with hundreds, well, the lags are absolutely not identified I boldly give the status of the "gaming" phone.
It is impossible to force the phone to lag from the category. If you do not take for games, you forget about some ladies, hanging, they can not be here for definition.
3. If you play only in Hearthstone from 3G (because 4G is not particularly necessary there), I will say exactly, I was on the pair and lost all 4 couples with breaks about 20 minutes in the total, it turns out that for 4 hours 40 minutes charging fell from 91% to 30% when highlighting about 25%. The remaining 30 percent went on the Internet with the included 4G. That is, the charging was enough for my whole full day, I did not have to give up the backlight, 25-30% of brightness is enough for me. If you use it only for the Internet, as I tried, then for 1.5 days I'll definitely have enough, when highlighting 25-30%.
4. Absolutely no complaints about appearance, everything is done neatly and beautiful, no complaints. Regarding the lack of highlighting the lower buttons and the rear swing, then I did not call these discomfort points, immediately used.
5. 2 gigs are still unnecessary, fill them at a maximum in real use in everyday life will not work, although you need to try :)
I chose between Honor 4C and that, yet I advise you to take this, well, too many advantages, and the minuses are also looking for.
I think he should cost more and soon Asus will understand it, so they hurry)

- It is difficult to talk about the advantages of this apparatus as such, I did not find them for myself. No, this does not mean that the device is bad, on the contrary, I am sufficiently satisfied with them. Unless to take advantage of the ASUS attempt, in this price segment, styling more or less globulent and comfortable device, as well as the lack of headphones in the configuration and recording of phone calls.
- I will find fault:
- The volume button is located on the back of the phone. I understand that in pursuit of buyers designers try to uniqueize the product, I do not know how much they did it, I didn't like this option, especially when you have to adjust the volume by installing the phone into the car holder.
- HOME \\ back \\ settings touch keys are not highlighted, in the dark strains to fall as a finger.
- The ON key is located exactly in the middle of the end and the hole for headphones, not comfortably sweeping with a finger when the screen is turned on / off
- No stereo speakers (downstairs on the back), and the volume is weak, in the car when you turn on the speakerphone on the phone you have to go ahead to hear the interlocutor and ask him to speak louder.
- Camera, what are you saying here, shit chamber. With manual tweaks can be done to work freeze.
- The speed of the interface of the Android - again, it cannot be said that it slows down, but here is straight on the verge, which affects the perception of the device as fast. Maybe even not iron stuffing and in the tweaks OS from the manufacturer
- As usual, a bunch of unscrewed goves from the manufacturer, that in principle is not such a matter and decommically, but nevertheless it strains from the phone to the phone
- screen illumination - in the sun is almost not visible at maximum brightness, in the dark there are still a pair of three steps of minimal contaminants so as not to cut the eyes
- Give a reference to the cover \\ bumper \\ film? no, there is probably not
The Asus Zenfone 2 Laser Ze500KL smartphone is a simplified version of Ze550KL, a smaller display diagonal, less RAM and less tank batteries, is distinguished. However, the device deserves separate attention, and, first of all, it is interesting for the presence of laser focus, which was previously a lot of more expensive smartphones. Sales started in the fall of 2015, and at the time of writing the review, the approximate cost of the smartphone is from 185 dollars and above the version with 16 GB of memory. Younger version with 8 GB is very problematic on sale.
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser is available in several color solutions. The design is elegant, attracts attention. The lower part of the housing on the front side has a gradient, overflowing pattern structure. The housing is made of plastic, the rear surface of which has a bulge in the middle, gradually narrowing closer to the edges. Thus, at the edges, the thickness of the housing is only 3.5 mm. The cover is textured for metal, does not slide. It is worth noting the non-standard arrangement of the swing of the volume, which may seem inconvenient, but in most cases this is a matter of habit.
Characteristics ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser Ze500KL
The smartphone has no top, but very decent technical filling.
CPU
Good work speed is provided by 4-nuclear Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 MSM8916 (1.2 GHz). The Adreno 306 video chip can not boast of special performance, however, in the Union with the processor and sufficient RAM, the smartphone copes perfectly with the tasks, be it an Internet surfing, work with applications, etc. The interface works smartly, but the requirements of the game resources go well only on medium graphics settings. For this level of the device, this is quite enough.
Memory
Smartphones are supplied with 8 and 16 GB of basic memory, and since the youngest version of the unpropranted, 16 GB is a completely solid amount of the drive. This with the margin is enough for games, applications, and even custom content. Additionally, there is a slot under a microSD that supports memory cards up to 128 GB.
RAM is 2 GB. First, it emphasizes the middle class of the device, secondly, such a volume of RAM is more than enough for fast and stable work of the smartphone.
Autonomous work
The battery with a capacity of 2070 and 2400 mAh is installed in the younger and senior versions, respectively. Since in this review it is mostly about the older version, consider what is capable of 2400 mAh batteries. Or it affects the optimization of the software and hardware, or the battery is so high-quality - but the user can count on the operation of the device for two days, with normal, medium load. For 1 hour of using a camera for shooting a photo, the charge level will decrease by only 11%. The battery charge is enough for 12 hours of uninterrupted video viewing at a maximum brightness level, and with disconnected network modules. Impressive time of autonomous work with games. After a five-hour game in Asphalt 8, 60% of the charge remains, given that data transmission has been turned on.
Camera
The main feature of ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser is a 13-megapixel camera with laser focus. The advantage of such a solution is the instantaneous (0.2 seconds) focusing on the necessary objects, as well as the ability to get a better photo in small-favorable conditions for shooting. The camera interface is Pestet by abundance of settings, the ability to select various modes, even manual exposure setting, and aperture. Toshiba's camera sensor received a 5-element LARGAN lens, with a diaphragm F / 2.0, as well as a two-color flash.
It cannot be said that the pictures are perfect perfect, but most users claim that the quality of the photo is completely satisfied. A particularly good result is obtained in daylight lighting in sunny weather. Contrary to expectations, night shots are not impressive.
The front module for 5 MPs is well coped with the shooting of objects in the near distance, for example, self-portrait. The picture can be slightly "washed".
Display
5-inch TFT IPS display leaves positive impressions: maximum viewing angles, decent brightness margin, saturated color gamut. The display is protected by the glass of increased strength Gorilla Glass 4. Easy control of the sensor and the ability to quickly get rid of traces of use (prints) is ensured by high-quality oleophobic coating. Thanks to the SPLENDID function, you can change the color "temperature" of the image.
Network communications
The smartphone has 2 sim support, and works in 2G / 3G / 4G LTE networks. Separately, it is worth mentioning the GPS module. Satellites are quickly even when you first turn on (3 satellites in 16 seconds), and it will not be necessary to connect to the Internet. There is support for the GLONASS satellite navigation system. Various peripherals (keyboards, mice, flash drives, and even hard drives with extra power) are recognized without problems with a smartphone thanks to USB OTG.
Sound
The smartphone has a high-quality main and conversational speaker. The sound is loud, does not contain extraneous noise and squeaks. The bell is heard well, exactly as the interlocutor during a telephone conversation. In high-quality headphones there will be a corresponding sound.
Software
The smartphone works on Android OS 5.0.2 with the Zenui branded shell. The shell expands the functionality by adding features such as topics and fonts, managing a smartphone with gestures, "children's mode", and a lot of other. The program part paid a lot of attention, so the system works stably. The software is constantly being finalized and updated, therefore, buying an ASUS smartphone, you can be confident in its further support.
Pros and Cons ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser Ze500Kl
Benefits
- Support by manufacturer, stable device operation;
- Laser autofocus;
- The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 4;
- Attractive design, several colors of the case;
- Decent amount of operational and main memory: 2/16 GB;
- Wonderful autonomous performance, taking into account the battery capacity.
disadvantages
In such a device, it is very difficult to single out some kind of explicit deficiency, especially given the cost of the device. Perhaps for someone there will be a disadvantage of the location of the buttons to adjust the volume, which is why the cover will be problematic.
Our review about ASUS Zenfone 2 Smartphone Laser
ASUS has definitely managed to release a qualitative product of the average price segment. It combines a pleasant design, good iron and optimized software part. To summarize the review, I would like to note: ASUS Zenfone 2 Ze500K is a smartphone with an optimal price / quality ratio.

Overview of the Chinese smartphone Lenovo S60
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser is not the most compact smartphone by the standards of its 5-inch diagonal. Its dimensions - 143.7 × 71.5 × 10.7 mm, weight - 144 grams. In size, it is quite large, if compared with other phones. For example, it is larger than the 5.2-inch Huawei Honor 7 and the 5-inch Huawei P8 Lite. At the same time, ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser lies well in one hand, but it's not so convenient to use it - the power key is located on the top face, it is hard to reach it. Fortunately, the screen turns on and off double by pressing it, which solves this problem.
Another controversial moment is the volume rocker on the back, like LG G3. For the owner of long fingers, it is not very comfortable - during tests, the smartphone broke out several times dropped out of the hands when the finger tried to reach these buttons. It also complicates work with the camera, because the volume keys are often used to shoot or zoom. If you want to use them, you will have to press them on the rear panel of the device almost blind.
In front, the smartphone resembles ASUS Zenfone 5 - the same wide frames around the display. Therefore, the ratio of the area of \u200b\u200bthe screen to the surface area is not the highest - 67.1%. From the back and on the side of the device almost completely repeats the rest of Zenfone 2 (for example, ZE550ML): rounded removable back of the convex shape with a number of speakers at the bottom. The smartphone differs from his fellow, except the laser sensor near the lens.
ASUS ZENFONE 2 LASER is assembled from plastic, but compiled qualitatively. The removable lid is not a peeler and fits tightly to the case. The battery, in contrast to the Zenfone 5 battery, can be pulled out and change. During the tests, the smartphone has not lost its freight look, except that his matte backing of softer plastic has become slightly climbing.
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser can be bought in several colors: black, white, red, silver, blue, magenta and golden.
Screen - 4.2.
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser display We can call high-quality for your price tag - good color reproduction, clear image and protective glass. We did not like only the contrast and narrow screen brightness range for the IPS matrix.
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser Display Resolution - 1280 × 720 pixels. With a 5-inch diagonal, we get a pixel density of 294 points per inch - quite clearly for the eyes and "carefully" in relation to the battery of the device. In addition, the screen has received a secondary quality oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating and a new protective glass Gorilla Glass 4.
What we did not like, so this is the viewing angles of the display - the IPS matrices are significantly wider. The brightness range is rather narrow - from 26 to 282 kD / m 2. On a sunny day, the screen is already with difficulty, and if you turn on the screen in the middle of the night, then at first it will make the eyes even on the minimum brightness. The smartphone has the autowarity function with a smooth adjustment. It is quite interesting that the screen has the mode of operation in gloves, in which the screen becomes surprisingly sensitive. Most devices, if working with gloves, the display responds very tight, you can not just answer the call, but also to run a specific application and quietly flipped the desktops (checked in leather winter gloves). The contrast of the image is about 600: 1, again, for the IPS matrix it is not much. Color coverage covers 98% of the standard and practically no "falls out" beyond its limits. Color deviations are average for the standards of smartphones. Perhaps the most interesting Zenfone screens are the ability to adjust the color temperature, a blue filter and even saturation of colors. But most likely, for most users it will be uninteresting.
Camera
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser received two cameras - the main on 13 megapixel and front-line 8 megapixel. Despite the chip in the form of laser autofocus, we can only call them medium for their permission. But still cameras quite "work out" money spent on a smartphone. For pictures on the go and replacing the "soap" on the way - it is quite suitable.
The main chip of the smartphone is a laser that allows the camera to focus very quickly. The manufacturer declares that the camera takes about 0.1 seconds. It really focuses faster than the rest of the smartphs, but with a small reservation: when you hover the camera to the object, she needs some time to understand that it is time to focus. As a result, the focus takes longer than the LG G4, but still less than most of the smartphones. Another small shortcoming laser - the frame is not always clear from the first time. If you just bring the lens to something and remove, first the laser can incorrectly focus, with the result that you will get a blurred photo. So we recommend trusting, but check, well, or just shoot 2-3 frames to accurately make a clear photo. The camera is also equipped with a HDR mode for increased detail in the shadows. It is a pity that the authorship does not know how to determine and independently include it as it doesn't happen, as many modern smartphones (for example, Lenovo Vibe Shot).
The level of clarity and detail of frames is normal for its permission, but the frames are not always obtained uniform in terms of sharpness, and at the slightest impairment of lighting the camera begins to notice the "noise". In the darkness Zenfone 2 Laser removes medium, it has a special mode for shooting with poor lighting, but we cannot say that it strongly helps in this matter.
In terms of shooting video - nothing unusual, Full HD video (1920 × 1080) at a speed of 30 frames per second, there is even a slow motion. Unusually used laser, it strongly helps keep moving objects in focus, which improves the quality of shooting dynamic scenes.
The front camera on 8 megapors copes well with selfie and offers a whole set of decorate effects - the cheeks of fasten, the skin is whitewash, the eyes are more, a blush is all that your heart. True, if you put everything on the maximum, you can no longer know yourself in the photo. In addition, it can shoot video in Full HD-resolution, like the main camera.
Photo from ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser Camera - 3.5
Photo from the front camera ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser - 3.5
Working with text - 5.0
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser uses its own convenient keyboard. There is also support for SWype, and the markup of additional characters. Between the languages \u200b\u200bit is easy to switch using a separate key. But what is not only in the settings of the keyboard - there are personal dictionaries in the presence, and the words prediction, and the height adjustment of the keyboard, and the delay of long press, and even the thickness of the stroke, which is displayed when manuscript input.
Internet - 4.0
At ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser initially you can find the Google Chrome browsers and the brawl "browser" from ASUS. The first, most likely, is already known to you. In the mobile version, it can synchronize with the desktop to "remember everything" - for example, your tabs and history. Own "browser" is rich in settings. So, in it you can turn on the control panel - when you hold a finger from the edge of the screen to the center will be a semicircle to pop up icons of various actions. In the browser you can find personal data settings, fixing text scale, download graphics on pages and so on.
Communication - 2.6
According to this criterion, ASUS Zenfone Laser 2 is allocated only by LTE support, everything else - everything, like everyone else:
- typical Wi-Fi b / g / n (not high-speed and not dual-band)
- Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP profile support and reduced power consumption
- quite fast LTE Cat. 4, up to 150 Mbps
- A-GPS with GLONASS support
- FM radio (only works with headphones).
The smartphone has two slots for microSIM cards. On the bottom there is a micro-usb connector, it serves to connect to a PC and charging a smartphone. Moreover, we plugged to it flash drives and external devices via OTG cable - everything works.
Multimedia - 3.6.
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser supports not all common audio and video encodes. So, the smartphone refused to play the music of FLAC format, as well as TS, RMVB, MOV and WMV rollers.
An interesting audio player is pre-installed on the smartphone with a bunch of settings, including with an equalizer. The video player can no longer be able to please you with a wide functional - it can simply watch the video and turn the image by pressing a separate icon.

Battery - 3.1.
The battery life of ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser is secondary, but it is already good, considering that almost all the zenphones simply until indecently discharged. It may have been possible to achieve thanks to a rather dim screen and not the most powerful processor.
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser Ze500KL worked 8.5 hours when playing HD video (on the maximum display brightness with the "airplane" mode). The result is good, even better than the ASUS Zenfone 2 Ze551ml and the same as Huawei Honor 6. But when listening to music, the smartphone was no longer impressed - it was enough for only 42 hours, almost like the budget Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5). For the hour of work, the benchmark GEEKBENCH Battery Test, the device lost 20% charge immediately, and this is a rather weak result, taking into account the muffle of the brightness of the screen in the test. For half an hour of demanding games, the smartphone lost 15% of charging - the average result, about the same as Huawei Honor 7. Includes the device in charge of 1a. It fully charges the Zenfon about 2.5 hours - a normal indicator for such an output current and battery capacity of 2400 mAh.
ASUS Zenfone 2 has quite a few modes of energy saving (at first it even confuses): "Normal", "high performance", "savings", "super-driving" and "customizable mode". With the first three, everything is clear, and the "super-saving" mode implies the disabling of all networks, leaving only the phone functions. A customizable option allows you to adjust the operation of the processor, applications, networks, screen brightness and Extend Standby (the latter means disabling notifications in "sleep mode" from pre-selected applications).
Performance - 2.0
For a short time, that there are zenphones, we are already accustomed to that these are high performance devices for their price category. In this regard, ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser Ze500KL was an exception - it is only a middle pepper. On the past, only 2 GB of RAM is reministed.
The smartphone received a four-folder Qualcomm MSM8916 SNAPDRAGON 410 processor with a frequency of up to 1.2 GHz. The smartphone works enough quickly, quickly lears working tables, and applications do not brake, but still it can hang for a couple of seconds in a completely unexpected moment. Sometimes the interface does not respond to some actions, for example, pressing the call button - the device simply slows down for 1-2 seconds.
As a game platform, the smartphone is better not to consider - in heavy games or "cut" the graphics settings, or the image will not be smooth. So, in Nova 3, it is simply scary inhibits, Asphalt 8 is more or less normally only on low graphics settings (first levels), but the average games, like Minion Rush, go to the "Hurray". We checked if the smartphone does not overheat while working. For a 20-minute "check-in" in Asphalt 8, the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser housing was heated to 44 degrees in the area of \u200b\u200bthe upper right corner, the temperature did not exceed 36-40 degrees. Not too hot, but nothing outstanding.
If you look at the data of the benchmarks, then they clearly indicate the average level of smartphone performance:
- Geekbench 3 - 1437 points (almost like Lenovo VIBE Z2)
- ANTUTU 5.7 - 23353 (lower than Huawei Honor 4x)
- in 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited - up to 4348 (almost twice inferior to Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016).
For calls, working with the camera, messenger and most applications and games of the smartphone features. If you suddenly plan to play tricky games, it's better to sit down for PC. Well, select the model more powerful.
Memory - 4.0.
The amount of built-in memory ASUS ZenFone 2 varies depending on the modification - it is either 8 GB or 16 GB. In the version with a large amount of memory, 10.2 GB is available to the user. For the middle class, this is the norm, but you can not limit yourself and use the memory card to 128 GB. It is worth noting that the SIM and MicroSD card slots are divided, while other manufacturers love to "sin" and combine them into one, forcing the choice between one of the SIM cards and additional memory. An important point is most games and applications (except pre-installed) without any problems can be moved to the memory card.

The main feature of ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser, based on the name, it is a laser focus. In addition to it, we note the volume key on the back of the device, the ASUS Zenui corporate interface, support for LTE and two SIM cards, as well as in gloves mode.
The smartphone is running the Android 5.0 operating system, with time the manufacturer plans an update to Android 6.0. Initially, a lot of different software was preset to the device, right up to simple editors and programs for collages. It's funny that there is a separate application in which the laser is used is a Laser Ruler, or just a ruler (measuring the distance from the sensor to the object, but only within 40 cm). It is useful to such a number of programs not all, but the sadder is most of them simply not deleted.
The corporate interface of the smartphone can be praised - it has many opportunities for setting up the phone, desktop, widgets and everything else. True, it is not always going to come out where to look for, and the search for settings finds not everything you need. For example, if you dial "mode in gloves", then it will not appear among the results, although it is and is in the individual ASUS settings.
Damn, how long ago I did not take the middle class in my hands. Whether I am lucky to me so, whether I intentionally choose extremes, but I checked smartphones either as close as possible to the flagships or budget to holes in your pockets. Therefore, I looked at ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser with interest - what is it, why is it so called and what it is eaten.
The reason for my dislike for the middle class is that most of the models in this segment are equipped with a pair-triple of chic functions, but this goes to the detriment of the rest of the opportunities, and sometimes generally leads to the appearance of budget components in the filling. Laser almost crosses the line of my dislike, but also fascinates at the same time. Now I will explain why it is.
Zenfone 2 Laser is a camerafon, and also a stylish accessory. And also - a shock and rich software device. It looks charming, with barely noticeable concentric circles as a design element. My fingers are nice, the eyes notice the game of light, and the surface is not laughing. If you compare the sizes of a smartphone with my G2, then Laser turns out to be a couple of millimeters more, and this is despite the fact that the screen diagonal is less than 0.2 inches. Fluctuations in size, as I understood, are related to the presence of touch keys from the bottom of the display (they are called swipe).
From behind, Laser can boast with a camera in 8 megapixels, a flash and a block of laser focus, and together with the volume of the volume, all four blocks form a kind of letter "T". The swing, by the way, is very close to me, because she in his time became a final reason to buy D802. Unfortunately, the shutdown button was not on it, but from above, next to mini-jack.
Now - according to the characteristics of ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser. And they are as follows:

As we see, the inside of the smartphone is not excellent. The battery is sufficient to work, the screen is not Full-HD, although IPS, and the diagonal is good, and the oleophobic coating is available, and Gorilla Glass 4. Internal memory is catastrophically a little (out of 8 gigabytes freely, but not rye, 3 with a tail), but For that microSD slot and exists ... communication at the level - Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G / 4G, Dual Stand mode, but NFC is not. Return memory for 2 giga pleases, there is nothing to say. Internet speed is also at the level (comparing with LG G2, again).
Even in my past, my ASUS test I could not utterly to use Zenui's branded possibilities ... Ah, yes, I forgot to warn, Laser has this software shell. Well, this time I was played out full, and I was satisfied, like an elephant in the sea of \u200b\u200bpeanuts. Like G2, the article's hero knows how to wake up on a double tap, but thanks to zenmotion on the locked screen you can draw different characters. And the phone will react to them.
Drawing "C" - a camera opened. Strained five more letters - five more applications opened. All this is customizable, and applies not only to standard programs, but also loaded. By the way, this feature works surprisingly instantly, the same camera is ready for operation in less than a second. I am such a speed, I confess even in Formula 1 I have not seen. And even more so, my g2 can not boast.
I really surprised me very much, and I can only praise Zenui optimization. The filling of Laser is quite weak. Due to the reduced permission, the Games are observed an increase in performance (for example, it was surprised that Modern Combat 5 went without special friezes), but in many ways it also the merit of optimization, and some of the visual effects disappeared somewhere. In games like Angry Birds 2, the action is slightly slow.
From a technical point of view, it is not entirely correct to compare Laser with G2, but since I'm looking for a replacement for my old flagship, I will do it anyway. If we talk about clean stuffing and price variation, then the closest relative of the D802 on the internships, which is still produced - Sony Xperia Z1 worth about 20 thousand rubles. Laser costs 11 thousand rubles, and predictably shows the results below.
But the camera is quite good. Not only is the laser autofocus really guessed for a split second, it also allows you to automatically configure the mode! Well, as automatic ... If it is dark, the smartphone will propose to turn on the mode of weak lighting, if the photo turned out to be dim or too bright, the automatic configuration of HDR will post-processing. The system is simplified, but works with a bang, due to which there is no need to put additional programs. Additional modes, such as creating gif animation, are also smiling - you can play with the camera for a long time and productive. 
The only thing that I didn't like sharply in ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser is a negligible amount of internal memory. Slightly upset the insides, did not please the absence of a familiar gallery, as well as the music player - Play Music is not counting. Fortunately, I realized that he was the hero of the article. This is a stylish camecount, youth and designer attractive. I will not judge the fish in the ability to draw graffiti, so I recommend this little miracle to all lovers to pofotkat and shook. And you can also play in 2Dots - stylishly and fascinating, in the end.
The cover is removable, but remove it - the task is not from the lungs. You need to pose a nail in the recess provided by the manufacturer, then near the port of MicroUSB and only now you can attach tangible efforts, open it. In its place, it sits qualitatively, it does not occur even with a strong pressure.
Keys are clear. ASUS ZENFONE 2 LASER ZE500KG Review showed that when conversing the finger puts it clearly on the volume of the volume adjustment, due to which it will be easy to make a louder or quiet voice of the interlocutor. But when you watch the video, the situation is already completely different, you have to rotate the case, adjust the volume, and then return to the opposite position. Use the power button is not always convenient, it will be easier to remove the screen with a double tapping screen.
The ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser phone received a 5-inch TFT IPS screen with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The oleophobic coating of good quality is applied to its surface. Gorilla Glass is used as a protective glass 4. The brightness stock is not enough - from 21 to 329 kD / m2, which is why it is almost impossible to work in the sun. The pixel density is small - 294 PPI, when considering it, you can notice a small graininess.
A capacitive sensor that supports up to 10 touches is used. ASUS ZENFONE 2 LASER ZE601KL 32GB Review showed that the sensitivity is high, it clearly reacts even on light touch.
The manufacturer has provided several modes of the color temperature of the display and the ability to adjust the contrast using the SPLENDID software. Thus, it is possible to improve the already high-quality picture.
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser Performance
ASUS ZENFONE 2 LASER ZE500KL The characteristics are built on the Snapdragon 410 budget chip in a pair with the Adreno 306 video screen. The basis of the processor is the four Cortex-A53 cores with a frequency of up to 1.2 GHz. Immediately it becomes clear that the device is clearly designed for games. RAM - only 2 GB, and no more than 900 MB remains free after inclusion.
Results of synthetic tests ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser
The built-in can be 8 or 16 GB, of course, it is better to prefer the last modification. 8 GB is just a few films, it will simply be unreal to do without a memory card, which, fortunately, can be installed to expand the volume. In the younger version of memory so little that sometimes it is not even possible to install updates. The fact is that a lot of space occupy pre-installed applications, which can be removed only after receiving root rights.
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser Characteristics very poorly showed themselves in synthetic tests, which costs to expect. Gadget is clearly not for games, power is enough only to perform everyday tasks, such as communication on social networks, watching movies and web browing.
Autonomy
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 8GB Review revealed excellent autonomy indicators, the manufacturer managed to squeeze the maximum of a 2400 mAh battery. Here and makes itself felt a weak filling, which, as you work with the phone consumes some energy. So, in the hour of photography, about 11% of the charge is leaving, when viewing HD videos at the maximum brightness from the memory of the battery device, it was enough for 12 hours. In games, we see not the worst picture - after 5 hours of the game in the asphalt 8, another 60% of the charge remains on medium brightness.
Wireless communications
The full review of ASUS Zenfone 2 Laserr ZE500KL showed that the device received support for Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz B / G / N, Bluetooth 4 generation, and GPS. Satellites are quickly detected even without connecting to mobile networks. There are support for 3.5G networks.
Sound
The spoken speaker works well, the voice is transmitted clearly and without distortion. The interlocutor will also be pleased to talk with you, which contributes to the quality operation of the noise reduction system. The external speaker sounds loud, but the quality leaves the best impressions. It is not higher than average.
Interface
ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser Ze550KL 16GB Browse demonstrates that it works out of the box on Android 5.1.1. With its own Zenui shell. It is possible to flexible interface settings. Applications can be hidden, enable intelligent folder sorting, change the grid size, disable the menu to all the items on the desktop and much more. The system works smoothly and stable, here for it the manufacturer can be said great thanks.
ASUS Zenfone 2 Camera Overview Laser
The younger modification is equipped with the main chamber of 8 mp and 5 mp front. In the elder, everything is a little better - 13 MP in the case of the main module. ASUS ZENFONE 2 LASER LTE Camera Overview has shown that he can record video in FullHD quality.
The "Camera" application interface has a large number of modes and settings. There is also a night mode at which the quality of night pictures is improved, let and slightly. A separate mention deserves manual mode, where you can set the white balance in the range from 2500K to 6500K, exposure parameters, ISO, 1/1000 to 32s and focusing.
Asus Senfon 2 Laser Review revealed that the laser focus is used in the smartphone, which works smartly. But there is no special difference with phase focus, it is more thin marketing stroke. In general, pictures are not bad, but only in the price category of the device. With the flagships, he does not go to any comparison.
Output
Asus Zenfone 2 Laser received not the best stuffing, so you should not consider it as a cheap gaming device. But for an ordinary user it will be enough - a good battery life, high-quality, let and not the perfect screen (weak resolution and brightness margin), a convenient interface, good photographic features. There should be a weak stuffing for disadvantages, because of which you can forget about the game.
