In late August, Asus launched new ZenFone models in the Philippines, the anticipated new smartphones which include the ZenFone Selfie, ZenFone 2 Laser, and ZenFone Deluxe.
The new ZenFones all carry the design aesthetics and notable features of the ZenFone 2, which is the world’s first smartphone to feature a 4 GB RAM.
Among the new ZenFones, the ZenFone 2 Laser is a mid-ranged priced smartphone that is positioned as a camera smartphone.
As such, it has some notable camera features:
- ZenFone 2 Laser features a laser auto-focus technology in its 13 MP PixelMaster camera, which also features dual-color, dual LED Real Tone flash.
- Laser auto-focus technology in the smartphone uses laser beam to measure distances at lightning speed for near-instant focus.
- The 13 MP camera is also good at doing macro shots as it is able to focus on objects as near as 6 cm for close up clarity.
- The 13 MP camera comes with an f/2.0 wide-aperture lens to capture high resolution photos with zero shutter lag.

- ZenFone 2 Laser also allows the use of the camera at manual mode, allowing control over settings such as ISO, shutter speed and more.
