Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL - User Reviews

  • To be honest now I'm using zenfone 5z and Zenfone 2 laser 6 was my first asus phone. First of all, I have read all the comments saying that this phone has some annoying problem which I had never encountered when I'm using this phone. I changed my phone to 5z not because it's slow nor lagging but I changed because 5z is beautiful. Plus, my old phone still opens all apps faster without any delay. Asus will be my choice because there's only mini problems could occur in this phone compared to samsung. So have a good day..

  • Remember, this was launched in 2015 december.the features were up to date for that time. I have been using this phone for 2.5+ years, running xenonHD Oreo 8.1.0 ROM, and it's butter smooth. far better than that heavy ZenUI. 🤣Also, I don't understand why people are asking questions about this when this is old and discontinued.

  • Heating up and multi touch problem

  • To be honest i have been using this phone since 2016..and almost all problems that i heard before are not happening to me....my phone rarely encounter any lagging problem...when i open a particular app it will respond quickly..so i feel astonished when i see all the opinions here where mostly said this phone is useless and third class phone..Btw i played various types of games and guess it....this phone run smoothly for games.

  • Bullshit phone.always hang n sometimes my phones always restat itself.too much apps running in one times n your phone will hang.not recommended for games.not recommended.

  • Anybody met this limit of 500MB space in their cell phone? (You have to delete apps in your phone to update other apps) How do you increase this 500MB further or is this the maximum limit set by Asus for this model?

  • You know this happens cos cameras lenses are very perfect and sensetive!In fact the vertical lines on some old displays like laptops can not be seen by our eyes cos eyes are not as powerful as camera lenses.so many things that you may not see by your eyes are easily seen by cameras.but to disappear these lines while taking photos you can change the angles of your camera towards the diplays or lessen the distance from camera to displays or vice versa.hope it will help.

  • It is very much third class mobile i had ever used. No customer satisfaction from customer care.

  • i love using this fone..its not perfect but aint no fone is perfect at all..

  • When I try to take a photo of my laptop or computer that got screen, my camera shows some vertical black blurred lines moving left to right. can someone help me why this lines are there.

  • If u hve applied any screen protector remove it.if you are using any hard case remove it if problem still exist try to factory reset the phone if the problem still not solved then it maybe a software issue so you should take it to a service center

  • I m using this phone now it does not support volte,to support volte asus should send update and asus is not doing that.even the selfie models and 551kl got volte update but I guess asus is not interested in this model anymore.

  • When the phone is inactive for hours, and when you activate it by double tapping on the screen, it will not respond and you will have to shake and tap on different parts of the screen to wake the phone. During this process the phone will restart automatically. This happens frequently. Any body using this phone has such experience. Please tell me how to resolve this issue. Usually this happen when we try to attend an incoming call and the screen will not respond to attend the call.

  • does the phone support volte.

  • Very upset for not getting the VOLTE update for ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601 KL till date. It doesn't support Video calling too.

  • Good value phone battery life is good than Asus ZenFone3 Max which has standby only 2 days

  • Asus is not evem considering zenfone 2 Laser models. They have released volte for All versions of selfie models. But not considering 601 kl which is higher version in terms of spec & price

  • Please give volte update

  • The phone basically good. But features are not upto date. It does not support Volte. Asus has never heeded the voice of customers who have bought this phone. They are not interested in rolling out the patch for Volte, but rather push laser 3 models. Price is also very high, and this model is not worth its price. If Asus does not provide updates atleast for a year or two, it will lose its customer base.

  • Worst phone i ever had. I'm so disappointed 😞

  • Yes I am using it, pathetic experiences with the service center, they are just there to empty your pockets, as I have a issue with battery drains very quickly, also it's automatically charges the phone once unplugged the charger, when to service center in Mumbai, they quote me for battery, sub charging board and the earpiece, the time I was at service center, they haven't done the replacement, as I agree to pay the charges they quote me, but at last they said me the motherboard need to be replaced. This all happen after visiting multiple times, also over waiting at the center more than 5 hours. The last quote of is 12,000 rupees. Are they don't have well qualified engineers. Please asus check for it. Thanks

  • no volte

  • no, you wrong about this phone, because this phone has high benchmarking and quality of resolution is 2k but your phone is trash

  • maybe your phone quality HDC/imitation

  • it can support 5000mah battery replace with 3000mah bateery?

  • Disappointed to this phone. The camera and touchscreen have a low quality

  • How to support volt

  • If there is any update on ASUS zenfone ze 601kl. I want volte update

  • If it dose not supporting volte then what the coulmn VOLTE in settings wants to show..

  • Yes it's

  • Does it have 'glove mode' or ultra-sensitive mode or is there an option to adjust screen sensitivity in this model?

  • Yes I am using Jio 4g sim for internet it doesn't support VOLTE

  • Good things about it 1. Size of device is comfotable but not for small hands. 2. Processing is good but not for heavy gamers. 3.call quality and network reception is very good. Bad things 1.battery backup is very poor. With such a large display It shoud be equipped with at least 4000 mah. 2. Doesn't support VolTe and that is very disappointing. Also no update regarding this so far. 3. Display quality is very poor. In the day light it is worst, i will say. 5. Camera is not very impressive for Rs.15000 as there are much better phones with much better camera. 6. No finger print sensor. 7. Loud speaker is not very good. 8. Display attacts finger print and smudge. Overall, not worth buying for 15000.

  • Yes I am currently using it

  • Hi there friend, it happened to me aswell but I did found a solution, at least for me that is, usually every vr headset has a kind of sliding slot piece to insert into the phone right? if you have one like that dont use the sliding piece at all, just put your phone in the vr headset and fill the gap with something that may secure the phone inside it, Ive used some kind of foam and the phone wouldnt budge at all, it was perfect! and voila! thats how Ive managed to use my Asus in a vr headset otherwise it is simply a nightmare to insert with that sliding piece almost damaging my screen with so mutch pressure to it, I hope this will help you and others, dont judge me hehe, this was the simplest way to resolve this issue, it was like a Macgyver thought in the moment, Cheers!

  • its unusual big dimension does not fit in all the vr headsets who claims to support 4 to 6 inch mobile phones......... i had to return many vr headsets back to online sellers. finally dropped idea to get vr headset......... so its gyroscope sensor is completely useless.... also even 5.5 inch phones are useless for vr headset.... bcuz no google play store is not providing any app to support vr mode all the time such in settings-launcher-utube-app drawer-contacts etc.........its irritating to taking out mobile out of vr box after every few minutes.............. google daydream works only with snapdragon 821 processor series.........wait for one year to get price of 821 processor goes down, then go for 821 processor mobiles.

  • No VR virtual reality headset supports this phone. Reliance 4g jio sim needs VOLTE for voip internet call to eliminate any more talk purchasing. But his asus mobile supports only LTE no VO(voice over) LTE.......... so 4g internet will work but still on single sim only. U cant have even 3g set on both sim together.

  • I prefer if you use lots of internet pls don't but no good battery backup just for only using calls its ok if u use inter net not worth of buying. I'm using this phone it's my personal advise do not go for this phone.

  • Yes

  • Volte feature is Not yet Enabled in this phone. We can expect this in next firmware update. No ETA.

  • As of 15 Dec 2016, Asus 601KL is NOT Volte enabled. Howver, It does supports 4G LTE. No news about when Asus plans to release the OS update enabling Volte in this phone. (Expect soon though).

  • Yes, Jio 4G works fine but as of now 601kl does not support Volte. So you need JioVoice app if you wish to make calls.

  • Yes, it supports OTG.

  • Good phone and user friendly.. Only the camera not too good in indoor area

  • What kind of problem you refer after upgrading to marshmallow?

  • asus zenfone 2 laser ZE601KL support otg

  • Anyone tried Reliance Jio SIM with this 601kl phone?

  • Just reset your phone to factory setting after upgrading to marshmallow and all your probllem will be fixed..

  • it's a bug found in android 6.0, the newer firmware update is supposed to fix the problem but its still there unfixed

  • I'm also facing the same issue, can anyone please help me with this one; otherwise the phone is a beast, & runs like hot knife through butter!

  • really wat to purcharse it

  • I want to know the real opinion about asus zenfone 2 laser.becos i decide a buy a new phone

  • not bad to. the problm btery easy to drain.i use 4 to 5 hours playng nova 3 and dead trger.but no lag.

  • My ZE601KL is showing WiFi max speed of 72Mbps only ,I tested it at home and office network but the device is shoving same 72Mbps max speed. At home I have 11n ,wide channel (40Mhz), MIMO router. That means at 40Mhz wide channel the max should be 150Mbps , if two spatial 40Mhz channel is used (in MIMO fashion) then max should be 300Mbps . Forget about MIMO, the device is even not showing 150Mbps , looks like it not utilizing 40Mhz band with. Is any one aware of such issue with Asus Zenfone 2 Laser Qualcom 616 chipset , it will be very useful if any one got solution as well.

  • Its been a month i m using asus zenfone 2 laser ze601kl its good ph yes ph gets little heated up these days most phones has heating problem..i dont know about rough usage as i dont play games or see movies. While charging dont use your phone and battry gets easily charged and also i dont see my downloaded music or videos in music app i have to go to download option in settings to play them which i hate it coz i cant move to other page... having audio in bottom back side is a bad option coz sound clarity sometimes trouble you.

  • marshmallow freaking sucks! my battery back up got WORST ever since i updated to M. i used to get around 4-5 hours of SOT, now i'm struggling just to get a good 3 hours of Screen On Time. Also there are lots of bugs that are still yet to be fixed such as the sudden audio lost when i plugged in an earphone. Everything about this marshmallow update just screams FAILURE AND TRAGIC. I'm highly dissapointed in ASUS. Gosh even the back cover of this whale of a phone creaks. even my old LG L90 has a better build quality than this piece of junk. FIRST AND THE LAST ASUS PHONE. never buying the Zenshitfone series ever again. Cheers xoxo

  • Purchased Venfone Laser2 601KL. But within 2 months I had problem with touch screen.This occured after updating of the fone.There was no service center at my place and hence went to Sambalpur Authorised service centre who received the fone and it is about 10 days they are yet to hand over me the fone......service is not quick enough to satisfy the caustomer. Let us hope the fone is handed back working perfectly.

  • Save your money and buy iPhone 7 instead. The worlds greatest fone i love it.

  • 1. 2. ­ 3.https://www.gizmotimes.com/telecommunication/a­sus-panasonic-phones-jio-4g-sim-preview-offer/14­878 4. 5.http://indianexpress.com/article/technology/mo­bile-tabs/reliance-jio-4g-sim-will-work-on-these­-devices-full-list-3009688/ all above web sites including Official JIO too referring this is compatible,

  • No problem with marshmallow, perfectly working on my laser 2.

  • Now a days very hot feature of mobile VoLTE is not available in this mobile. Think before purchasing.There customer support is giving assurance from dec 2015 but till date no update available.

  • I have a similar problem. I can send sms bur receiving them becomes a problem. My system is now running 6.0.1. How can i solve this problem? Anyone.

  • Same problem....i have been using this mobile since December 15. No problem till updating marshmallow. There is a bug came after updating latest version. Not always but sometimes sound automatically gone while playing video . video also lags and it plays in slow motion. But a restart will fix this issue. I think asus should provide a bug fixing update for this issue.

  • plz confirm Radio facility is avilable or not. also confirm that Hands free is with hand set. if not in future prople should think to buy. becoz if charge smart amt. u shold provide Hands free ... All mobile cos are providing.. Think of customer for future assignments Thanks.. H M Pathak

  • yes omg same problem here, sometimes when i plug in a headset and then unplug it the sound would dissapear, and whenever i tried to open a video or a song while in that state, it wouldnt play it. Only a reboot would fix the issue, but then it would show up again... smh

  • Same problem here Anon. After updating it to marshmallow, I noticed that my messages are not delivered on time or even it was not delivered. Also in receiving sms, I have a problem. My recipients are telling me they do not receive any sms from me neither I do not receive from them. But other than this, I have no other problem. I am trying to downgrade it.

  • I bought this phone a few days ago, and updated it to marshmallow. I am not sure if result of update or phone is defective but after a while, sound is gone,. When playing video or getting phone call etc, there is NO sound, tried unplugging headset, use speaker mode etc. Only a reboot fixes this issue.

  • I early used ZenFone2 ZE551ML now brought new ZE601KL from the net I knew that it is not popular as my previous phone.....nevertheless it is a awesome phone

  • This phone has Snapdragon 616 processor which has VoLTE support as per the specs here But for me the Reliance MyJIO app says it does not have VoLTE and asks me to install the JioJoin app (now called as Jio4GVoice) which should not happen. Asus may have disabled it and will need to enable it via a firmware update or may be Reliance need to update their app to detect the hardware well.

  • It happen also to me while playing COC.

  • Its happened to me too, auto restart and hang with vibrations repeat.

  • Did you update it manually?or OTA?

  • I update my phone to 6.0 android marshmallow ...my phone hang 5 sec then my screen turn color blue then suddenly auto restart..

But the device got faster in marshmallow and the ram management is much better in M than Lollipop but the battery is worse. I used to get around 4.5 hours of screen on time using wifi, but after i updated it, it only lasts for like almost 3.5 hours of screen on time, i tried factory resetting it but it doesnt seem to change much.

(if u want a fingerprint sensor go for moto g4 plus,but the camera and speakers are not as good as the zen) oh, and the zenUI is beautiful.. one of the best launcher/ui combo i've seen on phones after miui after the marshmallow update , the RAM management has become much better than before.. so basically i have NO PROBLEMS AT ALL with the phone now except for the lack of fingerprint sensor.

  • You sure sir ?no bugs or anything ?bcos im planning to upgrade my (ZE601KL) Zenfone 2 laser .Please reply ASAP THANKS :)

  • How to watch youtube in Hd 60fps? When youtube's video have hd 60fps resoluion, i cant watch and from this setting only limit at 480p, not showing HD resolution (720p60 and 1080p60)

  • Is it able to fit into a pocket properly with no worries?

  • Yes you will be able to play pokemon go, as it is using an qualcomm processor.. then intel

  • yes, but depends on your country if the game is already available or not. If you can't wait just download the apk. the gameplay is very smooth!

  • why planned to upgrade to marsmallow? my Asus zenfone 2 laser ze601kl is marsmallow

  • i have 1 question,is this phone able to play pokemon go

  • i have 1 question,is this phone able to play pokemon go

  • Not good for small hand, thought it has very good feature of shrinked display to use by one hand, still small hand will not be able to hold it comfortably if you are trying to operating at the same time by one hand .

  • Do you have protective film or glass. may be proximity sensor doing something.

  • Android 6.0.1 was pushed . I opted to install, few app will lose access to complete filesystem, i.e. parent of emulated internal storage. Good thing you can explicitly manage application permission of app post installation. TO many application you have to explicitly go and turn on file-system permission.

  • Alright have made the jump and tested it for two days so far no bugs everything works. Naturally things are better just don't forget it loses app2sd. I highly recommend the update (unlike other asus models that recently got the M update)

  • if u upgrade your phone to marshmallow then try to update it through speed internet connection like 4g. i update it through 4g connection. after update my phone is very fast with some cool feature. i don't like lollypop .marshmallow is best. no problem happens. fully satisfaction. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ZE601KL. IF U HAVE SLOW INTERNET CONNECTION ,PLEASE DON'T UPDATE. OTHERWISE UPDATE IT THROUGH SERVICE CENTER.

  • anybody suffering from ghost touch? my phone is just two months old, bought it last may and it tremendously suffers from ghost touch. i cant even use it now. i upgraded to marshmallow just 4 or 5 days ago and yesterday my phone went crazy. help please. thanks

  • They said the chipset is snapdragon 616 when i checked it had a snapdragon 615 only

  • Should i do the update myself or ask the asus store or service center do it? Will lose my warranty if i do it by myself?

  • So has anyone else tried the Marshmallow update? Would like more feedback before the leap of faith (seeing how other asus models seem to only suffer after the update)

  • Update available - click system update now!

  • update available in india

  • thanks for the short review dude! where do you live? Im still waiting for the update her in Indonesia

  • guys time is now.. asus just released 6.0 update for ze601kl. very good update. it removed all preinstalled bloatware along with asus messenger, calender. phone works like fluid. ram available more than 1gb always. new mobile manager introduced. few small changes in setting. new zen gesture available. but i can't store app on sd card. app only installed on internal memory. Facebook and instagram are now preinstalled. for better performance do a factory reset after update.

  • Is otg ready

  • Sometimes even if my network is in full range,I cannot receive any calls & also my phone lags sometimes

  • You better observe your phone and bring it to the local dealer where you bought it for check up if overheating persist.

  • Have the same issue. It seemed that you need to wait for the text to be sent before closing the message.

  • How is the camera in low light

  • Between model Zenfone 2 laser ZE601KL and zenfone 2 ZE551ML which one is better?

  • Hi , my aim is 6 inch phone.. currently using nokia 1320... I dont play games , I watch videos .. budget is 20,000 rs.. is the ZE601KL has overheating issue.. how about the battery and lags.. is it ok for rough use..? or any other suggestions? how you feel this phone now? my other option was Xperia c5 ultra...

  • Hi , my aim is 6 inch phone.. currently using nokia 1320... I dont play games , I watch videos .. budget is 20,000 rs.. is the ZE601KL has overheating issue.. how about the battery and lags.. is it ok for rough use..? or any other suggestions? my other option was Xperia c5 ultra...

  • most probably your model is the ZE600KL.

  • Try Aliexpress. You will be able to find one.

  • i have downloaded cpu x app on playstore to know cpu information. it shows that my phone have snapdragon 615 processor. then i tried few other apps and it shows the same information. i think gsmarena is wrong about cpu information. or flipkart is selling 615 model . i need your replay guys.

  • I have Z011D (ZE601KL) purchased 15 days back....What is Z011D meant for???

  • this is the best product I bought. the product is two fast never stops and it is at good price

  • I bought this phone three days ago. And from what i've experienced so far Pros: 1. fast processor. 2. good resolution 3. have many camera modes. 4. zenui is reliable 5. lightweight and durable Cons: 1. mediocre battery life, drains battery fast in average use. 2. bloated ware

  • Thanks for the reply. The problem with the texting is not about the network, the signal is strong but the texts is not sending regardless of network. Had to restart each and everytime that is why am changing phones. This convinces me more to shift to this phone. Thanks a lot!

  • This asus is good for any game, no lag while u play any game. I recommend this phone for gamers

  • Z00MD = ZE600KL (ZF2 Laser with SD615. HD screen, thus more power efficient. NEED REVIEW) Z011D = ZE601KL (ZF2 Laser with SD615/616. FHD thus more PPI, more power hungry. NEED REVIEW) Z00AD = ZE551ML (ZF2 with Intel. So far the ONLY Zenfone ever REVIEWED by GSMArena. They sometimes mentioned Selfie as well, but I don't remember any other reviewed.) Z012D = ZF3 ?

  • Hi does anyone experience heating issues like going beyond 40 Celsius on normal tasks like browsing

  • I want to buy a product of Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 6.0 ZE601KL with the flip chart (cover). Unfortunately, the series is not already in Germany. So the series Zenfone is not identified yet in If do you have any insight about this, please send through my email [email protected]. Regards

  • I really wanna buy this phone. On where branch/kiosk/store of asus did you buy one?

  • 1. yes its user friendly 2. yes 3. depends on your sim card, it doesnt hang while texting 4. again, depends on your sim card or your area 5. for this price segment, im quite happy with it 6. yes

  • I am already fed up with another brand and finally decided to ditch my phone. As of now, I am seriously considering this phone. Those who already had this one, how it is working for you? 1. Is it user friendly? 2. Phonebook loads faster making calls easier 3. Messages are sent on time, no hanging while texting. 4. No problem with signal 5. photos taken are ok 6. If I utilize the dual sim function, does the phone still have a slot for the memory card. Thank you so much!

  • my zenfone display looks yellowish when compared to other brand phones display. white looks yellowish. dark green looks light green etc. n.b. i have not changed anything on splendid app and blue light filter turned off

  • Yes .. just adjust the setting

  • Something hard to get at this price.

  • so far so good nice price super fast super smooth s7 or zenfone 2 laser 6?go for zenfone 2 laser 6 good job asus

  • Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 6.0 is the obvious answer

  • i am happy with this phone. no heating problem.The Best phone in this price. No negative points

  • Poor battery life even for below average user. I can't get more than 1.5 days with minimum use. The so claimed full HD display is disappointing. My other much cheaper Lenovo S860 display is brighter, better contrast and more detail. Not quite recommended. There are other better options in the market.

  • Can you guys help me with this, I looked in the website about MHL ready phones and this phone is not included in the list, yet one description about this phone says it is MHL ready. Which is which? Phone owners please help, planning to buy one. Thanks :))

  • For my own opinion, Zenfone 2 Laser is Great. Astig! Fast and easy access.

  • 3gb ram asus any offers

  • I just wanted to know if anyone experienced overheating of the zenfone 2 laser? One sales clerk from a local mall told me that it was the issue of asus. Becaue of its chipset. Thank you in advance!

  • from my experience, zen ui is very smooth on zenfone 2 series, its like you are dancing on the floor with oil on it

  • heavy game, no. casual game like CoC is ok

  • Is this good for gaming purposes? Planning to buy one but would use the phone for games also, and not only for the usual phone use. Thanks

  • This or Lenovo vibe k4 note?

  • why does my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL wont wake up after 5-8 minutes on sleep mode but the led light still blinks. i need to remove the battery then turn the phone back on again. any help will be highly appreciated.

  • Yes

  • Your orders are an Asus ZE601KL smartphone with upgraded RAM and ROM to 4GB and 64/128GB. Sure... we can do that. After all, we're not an independent site at all, we're affiliated with all the major and minor brands so we can take requests to make custom phones from absolutely anyone! Hahahahaha send your wishes to Asus instead of here, Mr.Bujoy!

  • The only ASUS ZENFONE that OFFICIALLY supported QuickCharge is your dear phone, sir. The ZE551ML, and only the 4GB Ram version, too. Not even the 2GB version of the same model supported BoostMaster. You can try plugging in a third-party charger that js QC capable and see, but not recommended.

  • No, only the original Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML, 4GB version) OFFICIALLY supported QuickCharge, the ASUS BoostMaster. Maybe a third party charger that is QC capable might fill it father, but not recommended.

  • How do u bump up battery capacity??? Third party made?

  • z011d = ze601kl

  • Never heard of such news, but I did took a visit to an official Asus site and they say the new Zenfone 3 (named Z012D, Android 6.0, Snapdragon650, 3GB ram, 32GB internals, 12MP main, 8MP front, and FHD screen) is going to be VR capable.

  • Does this phone has built in radio?

  • Does this phone comes with built it radio?

  • I went from a Samsung note to the Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL using the same carrier Straight Talk bring your phone. The difference in speed and function was like going from a moped to A Ducati. even though this model is not available in the USA yet when I called Asus customer service they registered the phone so it would be covered by the one year warranty and welcomed me with open arms. I really like this phone and the price $260 compared to the $550 I was going to spend on another Samsung. Now i have enough left over to get a new 6th gen i7 for my PC. Does anyone know when the marshmallow update for this phone is going to be? DR. Z

  • Does Asus zenfone 2 laser ZE601KL support Virtual reality glasses? It is having gyro sensor but screen resolution 1920*1080 is less for 6 inches screen. I have doubt that low resolution will blurred the pic in VR glasses.....plz help if someone is using dis mobile with VR glasses...

  • Anyone managed to test out the MHL cable to HDMI TV just like most Samsung phones with MHL capability?

  • Thanks a lot Ritzie

  • Yes, on both questions. All Zenfone 2 models support USB OTG (Laser, Selfie, Zoom, etc)

  • Does this phone come with a file explorer/file browser from Asus? Does it Support USB OTG?

  • Between Moto X play and this Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL, which one would be better? Both have similar price. My preference is more for the Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL because of removable battery, but worried about how good is the software interface in ZenUI.

  • Hello MittuZ, thanks a lot for your reply. I saw some people have complained about GPS issue in the 5.5 inch version of zenphone 2 laser(couldn't find much review for the 6 inch version). Have you faced any issue with GPS? How is the GPS in this?

  • It needs a little more than 2 hours to charge completely, thanks to its charger with an output of 2A

  • The camera does a commendable job indoors and in low light. It's really great outdoors. There have been no problems with network yet. Yes, the battery is removable

  • I have a few questions regarding this phone(ZE601KL): 1. How is the Camera quality in indoor/low light? 2. Any signal/network issue? 3. Does it have removable battery?

  • How do you want your phone battery lasts ? A life time ? 15 hours a day is appropriate time for every user. I am using same phone and have no complaints about the battery life.

  • More or less 2 hours.

  • actually all my friends are having this asus zenfone 2 laser 6 and im also going to buy tommorrow very good opinion alo superfast due to snapdragon processor

  • super stylish and slim phone. feeling happy after 20 days of using .

  • could u guys help me? i have a queation about the battery, how long does it take to full charge the battery? and also does this phone supports quick charge?

  • Is this phone good for the following? #1 is my priority 1. Good and Fast phone for -> Games such as Dungeon Hunter, Cytus, Dead trigger and GTA -> browsing the internet, opening multiple social media accounts (Facebook,twitter and Instagram) 2. Decent battery life (Can last at least a day, Music for atleast 2-4hrs, Offline Gaming atleast 2 hours , Browsing the web with data connection for atleast 2 hours ) without any use of power banks. 3. Decent Camera ( Not a fan of taking photos) I'm in the middle of buying either Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL (6 inch) or Huawei GR5, Honor 5x. Which is better?

  • Does it has led notification

  • i think this will be a better choice for battery and performance (light games, social media, internet browsing, video playback)

  • 3gb ram

  • seriously though,how long does it take to fully charge the huge battery of this phone?

  • y'all does this phone supports fast charging? it has a pretty big battery and how long does it take to fully charge this phone?

  • looks like it has bigger screen and different processor from the ZE551KL MSM8939 V2 and Snapdragon 616... not to mention different core speeds (1.2ghz) is the newer chipset and core speed a better choice though?

  • i like zenfone laser but.....it heavy and thick... i hope asus can design their product better.. slim and light...

  • Is this is worth to buy because I love to take pics and I do work on my phone ?

  • They're pretty much the same phone except the ZE601KL has a larger screen (6" vs 5.5")....

  • No problem ... u can take ze601kl

  • How much RAM is available when you unboxed and started the device?

  • Which is better laser 2 ZE601kl or zenfone selfie? Any problm encountered?

  • Ok I think I'm so confused here ..which is better this or zenfone selfie ? First priority is performance and battery

  • Guys... i buyed the mobile 10 days ago... my mobile is taking 4 to 5 hours of time to complete 100% charging.. what shud i have 2 do...

  • where did you buy the battery? is that an asus battery or will any battery from any brand will do?

  • yes it is worth the price, in fact it's pretty cheap for the specs i reckon. camera is really good, sound clarity is not a problem as it sports dual stereo speakers. i got mine on jan 4. it's still very fast or snappy. my only isuue is the battery life. i suppose the 1920x1800 screen is what causing the drain.

  • it comes with marshmallow as it is part of the os.

  • use asus auto start manager , enable DENY in all apps from downloaded and preloaded , post your reply

  • see below website for correct details

  • in zenfone 2 laser ze550kl 3gb ram version has 16gb rom snapdragon 615 1.5 ghz and this phone has snapdragon 616 1.7hz has 32gb rom with 5Gb free asus webstorage lifetime much confusion arise while buying zenfone 2 laser , because of their variants 1) 16gbrom with 2gb ram with snapdragon 410 1.2ghz quadcore adreno 306 2) 16gbrom with 3gb ram with snapdragon 615 1.5ghz octocore adreno 405

  • hey u may have the auto start manager on your phone open that and u only turn on the necessary things only turn off the other unwanted things thats it u can save many MB of ram

  • A very simple tip in conserving battery is to "deny" everything in the auto-start manager. I get around 6 hours of SOT with regular use, and around 4 hours with super heavy use.

  • hey pls help me.... i wish to buy a new phone of 18k so tht can anyone tell me is this a good phone

  • I didnt know there was alot of kind of laser2. It looks exactly like it

  • I think im lost, im not sure but from my phone it was on the about menu that the model i have is ASUS LASER 2 Z011D. Is this the phone you all have? Please i just need to know. They said this is 6.0 Because of its size but i think it has a different spec. Can anyone answer me?

  • how did you do that?

  • its a Phablet, battery is ok once you remove/disable all the bloatwares, camera is ok, but not as great as Samsung s3. camera has lots of noise, but reduced one you update pixelmaster. still worth it for the price. since the battery is removable, i customize my own battery.. my battery is now 4800mAh... :D

  • Already i am using .32 gb internal memory(approx 7gb reserved for system ), 3 gb RAM(1.8gb free in 1st boot), dedicated memory card slot, 3000mah removable Battery ,CPU 1.7 Ghz is correct. i verified in settings-about-hardware information

  • Does it capture moving object? Pixellated photos or not?

  • The battery is the worst. It won't last At least 15 hours even if u don't use it. They should work on their battery system. If you use only whatsapp the battery won't last 10hours. Waste of Rs=18k.

  • Asus 601kl is goof phone but it consume memory very fast, slow dialing, search contact is slow, sms takes long time to upload in threads. The basic features are very slow. Do not buy this asus phone.

  • Snapdragon 616 octa core correct. Playlist visit Asus India website for reliable information.

  • For photografer and gamer don't buy Asus .their battery and camera suck.but for light usage and chatting it is okay.their Zen ui good

  • Would anybody know, what is genuine specification for its CPU and ROM. Because on flipkart it is mentioned as 1.7 GHz 64-bit OCTA core processor & 32 GB ROM On NDTV it is mentioned as 1 GHZ octa core processor 16 GB ROM On asus site it is mentioned only snapdragon octa core processor Such various reports might confusing the customer Anybody please help on this? what is genuine specification for CPU and ROM?

  • ze601kl is best . But Max is best in only price and battery

  • Hello everybody ! Does it support FLAC?

  • I just bought mine 3 days ago and the ram usage of my phone is huge (i did install some apps like fb), i only have 990 mb to 680 mb free ram, the remaining half is either used by the background app stuff and cache (i did not open anything yet). Can anyone help me?

  • Dude i think the max is the last longer b3..i think its perfect fr gamming..

  • Guys i need a favour which phone is better asus max or ze601kl? Suggest plez.

  • I would definitely buy this phone if it becomes available in my country (Macedonia). I'm currently using Zenfone Max and I'm pretty satisfied with ASUS' smartphones.

  • Let me answer those for you. Price is around 240 US$. Both sims and sd have dedicated slots. It has NFC. It has LTE support for both SIM cards.

  • It supports OTG ( USB On The Go). Means you can connect normal pen drive up to 64 gb or more if connected thru a micro usb adapter or cable to your phone. Adpter cable is not included in the box, you have to buy it or buy a dual pen drive ( Normal USB & Micro USB )

  • If you want a device only for gaming, why not go for a Playstation ?

  • Use Chrome Beta. Its works well for android than Firefox.

  • Hi Can. Anyone guide me more for 601 kl about battery backup camera clarity both front and back and sound quality any distrubance will speaking or any other problems in it and most important what about the service do reply and help me to choose the best

  • Very nice but no fingerprint scanner, i guess.

  • In my region, a 2A charger is included.

  • i have been looking at all zenfone models your family owns. i like big phones such as the 600kl. i use straight talk with ATT towers. Which phone do you suggest zenfone 2 laser 5.5 or 6 inch model, and does 4g model really make abig difference. please respond

  • Removeble Battery(+). Dedicated external memory card slot(+). Big screen(+). Gorilla glass4(+). Battery capacity 3000 mah only(-). 367dpi screen (-). Price little bit high @17999/-

  • if u want a good screen u should consider ze551kl the ppi is too low on a 6inchs screen

  • Oppo f1 or zenfone 2 laser (ZE601KL) ???

  • Hi can anyone guide me about Asus Zenfone 2 ze 601kl whether should I take it or not reply must....

  • Hi I wnt to get some more details of asus Zenfone 2 ze 601 kl how's its battery backup camera front and back sound voice clarity those who r u using do reply for this whether its worth it or not should I buy it or not....

  • Hey i think the users how has ZE601KL are liking it any given days there are issues if you use Android or any operating system even samsung devices are not stable for almost 18k you are getting a great device. You can check the below link for users review : Also for Camera you can refer : For System unstable : Update the device, wipe cache from recovery, update all App's.

  • android lollilop 5.0.1/2 still has some minor app glitches force exit or hang... its camera is not very clear too much noise for a 13mp camera with laser autofocus , too blurry and pixelated images when trying to zoom the photo... my sony 8mp cam is way better than my new phone asus..if given a chance i would buy sony again if you really love taking hd photos...

  • Just bought it yesterday. I update all things there that need update. Only problem found so far is when typing using Firefox, it became lag. Others app (Massage, Email, Notes etc) all ok. Don't know what to do. Maybe need to change from Firefox to Chrome.

  • Hi!! charging is good no heating at all like any other phone while charging.. charging time is approximately 2 to 2.5 hours depending on your usage while charging..

  • well it depends on your own average

  • I actually paid less than $300. It was $278.99 on eBay (free shipping). I've got T-Mobile and popped in my MicroSim card into the #1 slot. The phone shows "4G" up top and data is quick. Not sure about the NFC function. Haven't tried it yet.

  • hi pete,it is usd price?and also is this phone have nfc? the memory card slot is using sim 2 or got slot itself? what about the connectivity,is it really 4g on sim 2 too?

  • Have had the phone for a couple days now and have no major complaints yet. Call quality is solid and clear. The screen is HUGE and pretty clear (even in direct sunlight). Don't know if it's as sharp as a Samsung Galaxy S6 or an iPhone 6 but it looks good. Battery life for a phablet of this size is decent. I have my phone set to "Power Saving" mode and it lasts a day and a half with normal use. Don't know what a lot of people are talking about, but the camera takes GREAT (sharp) pictures. The overall responsiveness of the phone is good (can cycle through multiple screens and apps with little lag). Surfing the net is okay (decent speed). I don't game on my phone, so I can't say if it's good for that purpose. All in all, for under $300 bucks - you can't go wrong with this phone. If you have issues with anything that this phone does - go out and spend $700+ for a new Galaxy or iPhone and shut your yap. Meanwhile, I'll be sitting at home contemplating what to do with the extra $400 bucks I saved by not being a brand whore....

  • Camera is awesome, even the front cam. I like this mobile!

  • batery life is below average

  • Can u mention the camera quality of this phone

  • Can anyone confirm if one sim is on 3g/4g, the other sim will be limited to 2g? Or if not, I can use one sim for 3g voice and the other for 3g data...

  • Hey...plz tel me that ths phn is worthy or not..? Im planning to buy ths phn... Battery life of ths phn is efficient or nt? Like other zenfone heating chance is higher or nt

  • it's zenfone 2 laser, not laser 2

  • advices, do not update to v1.15/v1.16, these versions drain battery fast

  • Anyone who owns this please tell the included charger rating of this phone. Is it really 1.5A? And please do tell also the charging time from 15 to 100 percent. Thanks.

  • I'm. Planning to buy laser 2 6.0 inches . Is it good or bad? I don't know the codes like ze601kl . What's the better version for gaming ?

  • that's not true... I have this phone for almost a month. battery life is good, it can endure my whole day at work and school, mainly using wifi to browse, play games sometimes, play music and even watch videos for long and boring trips heading back home. at the end of the day, there is like 35-48% left. I must say this phone is still a good choice after all. originally planning to buy Oppo R7 plus or Galaxy note 4... and also taking into consideration that I used to own asus' Zenfone 6, in which did disappoint me because of its battery hogging intel.... this time, ASUS used SNAPDRAGON... ;)

  • My battery drains really fast. If i play for 20 mins the battery drops 15-20%. I need help!

  • Hi there, I just want to ask if this is also a fast charging battery? And how about the camera, is it also good and also good for gaming? thanks

  • Yea.. ze550 and ze551 is better .. I suggest people not to get this if you're gaming most of the time.. antutu benchmark around 33k battery drain super fast even browsing website

  • Glad i ended up getting the ze550kl instead. This phone should have had a 4000mah battery.

  • My new phone has a receiver's problem. Cracking noise from the receiver.

  • Just got this phone today, a good phone but battery drain quite fast after 30 minutes of using 10% gone while my iphone 5 can last longer

  • The specifications of this phone are decent but its camera is still blurry if you look into the original photo (100%) taken by this phone. Camera quality is a key component for me.

  • Have my ze601kl week ago at start batt drain in 6 hours but now it last 12 hrs no issue at all good price quality phone

  • Yes.. it supports OTG.

  • How is the battery on this phone? I am currently using the ze500kl and thinking of getting this but not sure if the battery last.

  • yep most (if not all) zenfone series has no backlight button.

  • Both sim supports 4G.

  • It does!ü

  • Not true.

  • I don't think it's an issue. Honestly, how can you get confused with 3 buttons?

  • This phone has got wicked speakers....

  • the FM radio app is in folder music & audio ,you need to plug in earphones to run it.

  • Did anyone found radio on ZE601KL ? I am not able to fine any radio so far on my phone :( . Please confirm.

  • I highly suggest for the phone to be updated using wifi connection instead of data. Data cap or limitation might cause a problem in getting the full software update.

  • Does it support OTG?

  • Just bought this a week ago. It's my first time to own an Asus phone so I was a bit surprised with the number of apps included. Mostly apps from ASUS and other useless ones. I don't mind right now since it has a 32 GB internal memory. I came across a bug (?) which made the screen go black after I inserted a sandisk dual usb. All I could do was press the power button to restart or turn off the phone. Which was really odd. I came across another error with the Photo Gallery when I tried making a photo collage. It crashed during my 3 tries. Amidst all these, I'm okay with my phone. The main camera has a lot of photo customization which I will be needing a lot. the front camera has a smaller mp, but it comes out nice with the proper light.

  • Sound just nice

  • No issues for me so far.. Satisfied with the battery, moderate usage with few hours of gaming.. My only question is the update.. I haven't update since i bought my fone.. Question for those who updated.. Is it safe? Or do you guys have any issues? Thanks whoever might reply.. :D

  • is this a good phone with long usage of battery?

  • blues are closer to violet reds are closer to purple.

  • Great midrange phablet.Smooth performance good camera autofocus, adequate battery life.Only thing stands out for me is the bad color balance which even splendid cant fix. please Asus fix/ update the reddish slightly violetish bias to blues and reds which also is the balance in pictures. i dont care for accuracy just give it a warmer more natural tint.closer to recent samsungs and apples. Thanks

  • ZE601KL is an awesome phone. Compared to my previous phone, Sony Xperia M2, this phone is way better than my previous one. And the price is cheaper than Sony. Battery, performance, camera and the design also is superb. My brother-in-law using Asus Zenfone 2 2GB version and my wife has Asus Zenfone 2 4GB. So we are family of Asus. And we can prove it that this phone is better and also comparable to other flagship phones.

  • Is that true? I have the fasting charger. I had tried it,but i dont see the fast charging's symbol like other zenfone phone that support fast charging.

  • one word. quality!

  • Have been using Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML for the past 3/4 months and was quite satisfied with the phone except for the 2nd Sim which doesn't support 3/4G and Data. Good battery, display, sound and camera. Some of us might face restart issue but if you update it with the latest FOTA available i hope your problem could be solved. I was wondering if Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL support 3/4G and Data netowrk on the 2nd Sim, and if the sound is better/same as ZE551ML. If anyone could drop some information regarding my question, i'd be glad, very glad :-D

  • Got phone two weeks. Overall very good phone. Smooth no lags nice huge screen. Most important thing you get lot of phone in very decent price. Yes battery is not the best...but it will last me a day with moderate usage. It drains battery quick at the beggining but it slow down later on. So far only two bad points Battery not best but I can live with that Would be great if buttons would be highlighted...not a huge problem as there are only 3 buttons and after time you know exactly where to tap...if there is lack of light. Overall very happy

  • Yes , it does support quick charge , but ASUS doesn't provide the quick charger...u need a quick charger to charge it faster...!

  • Its orginal. No doubt

  • AP set not original

  • My phone Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 32GB ROM, 4GB RAM so far so good...been use about 6 month+, i like the feature boost speed charging, 30minutes u got full charge...becoz i'm traveler to customer side which require everything in quick...haha...and double tap, screen on/off which is good feature (psst button on/off very sucks)...just sometimes, minor screen freeze or lag, restart will be working fine...treat it like your laptop or pc, u need to restart... No doubt, running 10-20 apps at same time, overall no lag at all...wondering Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL has feature like my fon...sad as per tech spec no boost speed charging :(...wanted to get another unit for my family...

  • Did you say the truth? or you're the agent of this phone?

  • My model number is ASUS_Z011D? is this legit?

  • just got my asus ze601kl at SM Dasma yesterday, i'm disappointed with the battery life,it won't even last a day, even though in power saving mode, the battery is consumed, i think every 30 to 45 seconds, while observing it. It heats really quick.

  • They had to use lithium-polymer batteries to cram as much battery as they could into these thin phones so I don't imagine they could put any bigger of a battery in there. Still it can last days running idle so its big enough if you ask me.

  • Asus is the best...

  • I like this phone. It is fast and not hot. What I find annoying are the touch keys (back, home and windows) are not illuminated. That makes using at night difficult. Is a way around this issue?

  • It do suppports quick charge

  • Go for this gem of a phone, if you want good display, sophisticated Zen UI Features, perfect crisp pictures, best battery life, i dont have any flaw noticed till date, i hope you will also not noticed the same, I love you ASUS

  • simply amezing my nxt smartphone really gudd features ... .. lovv ittt

  • We have the same problem. It's probably just a bug. It should be gone by the next software update. All others are good.

  • Everything is very good with this phone but I have a problem, i made a update that asus sent me about the camera, but now the phone doesnt charge till 100% ,, it just goes 99% and doesnt reach 100% and dont know why, do you have any idea or advice ?

  • I have a problem, i made a update that asus sent me about the camera, but now the phone doesnt charge till 100% ,, it just goes 99% and doesnt reach 100% and dont know why, do you have any idea or advice ?

  • Agree with u.. this phone really awesome!

  • does it really have dual speakers? is it good? how was it, dolby or hifi? im considering this my next phone if audio is good. pls comment.

  • hi can u make 4gb ram of this phone and 64 and 128 gb rom pls

  • I already got this phone and its good. Even thought its only 3000mah its can last up until 5-6 hours of heavy usage and the processor is good to its not lag but its heating fast. All is good except of the heating of the camera part on the back. The speakers too is loud and its good

  • when i make a call, the sceern turns off. i cannot see anymore the key functions. what should i do.

  • Is it sure that it supports Quickcharge? It seems to be disabled according to some early reviews, cant get info even in Zentalk forums.

  • Idle time and you're asking for a whole day of game and surf? Lol

  • Yes

  • This review isn't a genuine one for sure people!

  • i switched from samsung galaxy note 3 mobile. initially i made a aggressive study, asked users & read views of various other phones which had similar spec criteria. after placing my order i worried whether this phone might have some disappointing flaws or malfunction as it was supposedly new release. however after my 13 days of vigorous usage as i used my phone whole day, always on wifi, played heavy games like batman, coc, fifa 15, asphalt racer, downloaded and watched many hq videos and installed a lot of apps. i must say that the phone works perfectly and pros till now: ~ the phone hasn't hanged even once!! ~ phone doesn't get that heated..(heating is not at all an issue) ~front camera & rear camera is good with many features, however after automatically updating the asus software its now giving much clearer shots. the pics shot with it is very sharp and clear also gives a good digital zooming. ~i bought silver colour phone and it looks stylish and good elegance, handling is very comfortable, however people with small palms may find it difficult to use as its 6 inch ~its 6'' but its slimness and edge structure adds to comfort in handling. its not at all heavy ~gorilla glass 4 rocks...i tried to scratch it with chains and a small stone yet the screen is clear ~the back cover of phone is scratch resistant with gripped surface ~the screen is very bright and is very reflective ~ ram: even after heavy usage and installing a lot of apps , i still get around 1.4 gb free always after clearing ~besides before purchasing i was bit worried about speaker sound(as asus old phones had speaker volume issues).....yes the speaker is not that loud but it gives crystal clear soothing sound. the speaker volume is same as that of my samsung galaxy note 3 ~i made many long isd calls and there is no uneasiness regarding it ~ charging: if you use the original charger that comes along in the box. it takes around 1 hr 25 mins to get full charge from dry stater. furthermore, it just takes around 20 mins to charge from 35% to 70%... but when i tried charging with other chargers it tool around 2&1/2 hrs ~the battery back up is fine it easily lasts for more than a full day with wifi & network on and with normal usage like using calls, gallery, music ,maps and browsing ....however if you activate power saving mode it lasts the second day too ~asus comes it its own speed booster and junk cleaner so no need to install separate apps like du speed booster, etc ~gallery has its own lock and calls recording option is also there. the recordings are crisp and clear the con: in its music player it doesn't have a set of predefined presets&effects like (jazz, pop, hall, concert, cafe)....they primarily have bass and treble settings, although you can create your own personalized preset overall this phone is an awesome device with high specs and kickass performance

  • Is this already availabe in the philippines, to be more specific in Sm north edsa. Im looking for the full hd version of this phone and not the 720p resolution, if you know where can i buy this im glad to read all your comments. Thank you in advance

  • battery is rated at only 3000mah. should have been more.

  • ZenFone 2 with Intel processors supports 2G/3G/4G on SIM slot 1 and on slot 2 only 2G...! But ZenFone 2 with Snapdragon processors do support 2G/3G/4G on both the SIMs...! As i have the 5.5inch ZenFone 2 laser , 4G supports on both the SIM...!

  • does this phone support quick charge? even though the charger that is included in the package is not quick charge?

  • This is normal with all DUAL SIM phones. the 1st slot is for 3g/4g and the 2nd slot is for 2g. Nothing new mate.

  • Wonder both SIM slots are standby with 3g? Zenfone2 5.5" - 1 slot standby for 2g,3g&4g, but another slot only standby for 2g. Find out this issue after purchase, disappointed. Any idea?

  • For those who are askin if this fone really had dual speakers... yes it has... and it is loud... its not a batterry hoggers like intel processors... ive been stress using the device and i dont experience any heating issue it gets warm though...my screen on time non stop usage is 4 hours on gaming... videos and fb around 5 to 6... i wasnt able to try using it normally and i think it can last a day or 2 in moderate use..

  • It have 3000mAh Battery so If they provide Charger with output rating 5V/5.1V 2A/2.1A, It shall charge fully in 2 Hours. (Provided you are not using the phone while charging)

  • This phone does support Quick Charge 2.0 , in fact every Qualcomm Snapdragon chips support Quick Charge , only problem is that the manufacturers do not provide a fast charger to charge the phone quickly , you need to buy a separate fast charger to charge your phone quickly...! I really looking forward to buy this phone...i hope Asus provide fast charger...!

  • Since this phone does not have Quick Charge Technology. How long will it take to Charge from 0 to 100%?

  • Hi santha, Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL supports OTG.

  • is this phone support otg???

  • Well asus cam ngan battery never good people

  • you simply have too much idle time

  • Hows your battery life bro? I only last about 10 hours of usage.honesly Im disappointed , my older zenfone 5.5 laser would last about 18 hrs

  • Hows the screen ?

  • I bought this last week but really dissappinted with battery life. If you play games during your idle time, buy another phone. This 601 wont even last a whole day if you play games and surf. You will have to re-charge in the afternoon.

  • hey where can i buy Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL here in Philippines?

  • can you this ram of this phone to 4 gb pls ..

  • Wrong grammar dude, fix it next time :D peace!!

  • yeah bro better then iPhone 6+ auwwww

  • This is a superb smartphone at a very reasonable cost. The quality of the screen display is breathtaking, and the camera does very well in bright and dim light. It's very fast to respond and the dual SIM slots will be useful for those of us with business and personal numbers. Having the volume control and shutter release on the back takes getting used to, but it's a good choice thereafter. The speaker provides plenty of ringtone volume without distortion. I especially like the way the curned back fits into your hand. At any price, this would be an exceptional smartphone. At the current pricing, it's just a no-brainer!

  • Is zenfone 2 laser got good quality of camera or not ? Please someone help me.

  • it's out already here in the Philippines sir.

  • With all due respect I would to tell you that the Rs. 9999/- which you are talking about is the price of ze550kl and this is ze601kl which will be available for Rs. 17999/-.

  • Dear all user friends Whether Internet works on the both sim slots with this model unlike Zenfone 2 does not support for INTERNET connectivity on both sim on 2G network, though not for 3G & 4G.

  • Hello sir can you pls say that when this phone is available?? Thnx..

  • Does asus zenfone 2 laser ZE601KL 3gb ram support otg cabel?

  • When will it be launched?

  • Does it support otg ? When will it be launched?

  • Does it support otg ? When will it be launched?

  • :P

  • Lol why not water Proof, Snapdragon 820 , 4K Recording and 8 Gb ram ? Lol u just want everything for 9999!!!!

  • This Smartphone would have been better if it had MHL out, Magnetometer, Temperature sensor, Fingerprint sensor, Infrared, HDMI, 403ppi, 3050mAh, Barometer, 2.3GHz Processor, NFC, Gyroscope, 3GB RAM, Additional Camera features, Additinal Apps. I like to buy Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE601KL so I did not buy any smartphones yet. Even though I'm going to college I did not get mobile yet because I'm waiting for this mobile. If the above mentioned features will be there with the present price that is 9,999. Rs then I'll surely buy this mobile. Also I'll suggest all my friends and relatives to buy this mobile If all the above mentioned features are there only.

  • Superb specification. Hope battery should be Removable with low SAR value,

  • 1080 x 1920 pixels (~367 ppi pixel density) not (~403 ppi pixel density) because of the 6" screen , :3 how unfortunate

  • Amazing! Can't wait to have this fone. Hopefully it's not expensive. Love the size and how I wish it would be bezel less.
