Asus Zenfone 2 Laser

Laser autofocus on a 13MP camera is the headline feature here, something you don't usually see on phones in this bracket. Asus Zenfone 2 Laser price in Malaysia starts from RM550, and for that you get a Snapdragon 410 chipset paired with 2GB RAM, enough for everyday apps and browsing but not a phone built for heavy multitasking or gaming.

The 5.0-inch display runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, giving a pixel density around 294 ppi, sharp enough for reading and casual video on a screen this size. Storage starts at 8GB or 16GB depending on variant, and a microSD slot takes that up to 128GB if you need more room for photos and apps.

On the camera side, that 13MP rear sensor comes with dual-LED flash and 1080p video recording, while the front 5MP camera also gets autofocus, unusual for a selfie camera at this level. Battery capacity sits at 2400mAh, which is on the smaller side, so how it holds up will depend a lot on daily usage. Dual SIM and LTE Cat4 round out the connectivity.
