The phone is a dual sim which comes with a removable battery. No earphones provided in the box. Now coming to the good and the bad of the phone - THE GOOD: ========== 1) Display: Colour reproduction is vivid. No pixellation evident even if keenly observed even though it is a 720p screen. Viewing angles are also good. Overall, a great display. 2) Battery Life: One word - incredible. Will easily last 1.5 days with moderate usage. Will get you through 2 full days if used judiciously. 3) Design and Styling: The phone really looks gorgeous. Looks way better than the other phones in its price segment. The product description pics do no justice. Build quality is fabulous. The phone looks and feels very premium. 4) Zen UI: Both visually appealing and functionally competent. Has good options for customization. Well thought out and well designed UI. 5) Performance: No lag whatsoever even though it is a quad core chipset. 6) Updates : Asus appears committed to deliver a phenomenal after sales support. Receiving updates/improvements through OTA updates consistently. Very likely that it will receive Android 6.0 update. THE BAD: ========= 1) Camera: The USP of this phone is its Laser Autofocus camera, but sadly the camera turns out to be below par at best. The images appear grainy & slightly out of focus and the colors in the images washed out. Does the job for an occasional photo or scan but don't go for this phone if camera is your top priority. 2) Speaker: Maximum volume out from the speaker is slightly low. Shouldn't be a problem though. Audio quality in the headphones is good. Overall a spectacular phone barring the camera. A great value proposition in all. P.S. : GPS using satellite only was not working (positioning though was working through cellular triangulation albeit with less accuracy). Got a replacement only to find the same problem again. Returned it,got a refund & re-ordered. It works perfectly in the third piece.

The phone looks quite good with the price range. The display is awesome and the battery backup is good. The ZEN UI is too awesome. However the UI might use some of the ram. My sincere request is to update the phone. We get around 800 - 900 mb free ram and things work quite smooth with the available ram. Coming to camera in daylight it captures good photos however in low light the picture is little granular. i guess its the same with other phone not to mention it is a 10 K phone. So i would say its a nice phone with good display in 10K.

ASUS has come up with the BEST smartphone phablet ever i can say. Pros: First thing to mention is Zen UI. Came bundled with many display setting options. 2 gb ram is excellent and it's super fast. Almost 800-900mb is free.Was Able to play all high end games with out any Lag(Dead Trigger 2, Riptide etc).. It has a descent rear camera and a good front camera. One thing to mention there are whole lot of photograph setting but the rear camera losses its charm as the picture taken are a little grainy. Display is mind blowing. Even though it's of 5.5", it fits perfectly in my hand. Looks very premium and classy. Charges very fast compared to Lenovo K3. A full charge has given me one and half day, while it was either connected to wi-fi or working on 3G and playing games. Cons: Volume level is a little low. Rear camera quality is descent, but fully packed with many picture settings. Can be felt a little over weight. Power button is at the top, a little difficult to reach but due to the double tap on the screen to awake and sleep option, you don't feel like using the power button. But considering how sexy and good it feels in my hand, it's worth every penny.

this phone is amazing , it looks fantastic and design was uniqe better than other phone..... battery backup good , phone running smoothly, display was better than other branded phone... fabulous sensetive camera everything was automatically adjusted both front and rear.......photos are good quality like dslr.......go for it.........

The phone was very good.........flawless performance, 1.5 day battery backup with regular wifi, songs, you tube, games etc.........screen resolution is just simply awesome.......touch is very very nice.........and at last build quality & design of phone is excellent A premium budget phone camera is very appreciative both front n back........laser focus feature is very responsive. 5.5 inch scratch-less screen is very good......light weight .......volume rocker key is at back so little bit uncomfortable.......speaker sound is very clear n loud. i enjoyed it with my skullcandy n samsung earphone ...very very very very powerful sound output with clear sound n booming bass.

Got the phone delivered on Raksha Bhandan, a pleasant surprise!! Very nice device, very good quality. No problems so far, have been using it for 2 days. Will post a detailed review after a couple of days. But at this point of time, the device looks really promising. Camera quality: Rear: Very good (Not excellent). Front: Superb. Display: Vibrant. Gorilla Glass 4 is good, touch is smooth and responsive. Battery: Backup seems good as it goes down gradually. Design: Surprisingly, even after having a 5.5" Screen, the device is not huge. Feels good to hold. Doesn't feel heavy. Looks really premium in hand. No heating issues so far, not even when charging. Overall, worth the money spent. Go for it guys!!

I got the phone on Last Friday (18/9/2015). Below is the observation in the last 3 days. Pros :-( BEST PHONE UNDER 10K) 1. Nice touch and look 2. Decent camera(both front and back) 3. ZenUI and Lollipop (Better interface) 4. Good speed and resolution and battery. 5. Compare to moto g it is better sound 6. I installed 15 apps at a time there is no hang-up(till now). Cons :- 1. No LED Lights for Home and back button (In night little difficult to handle this buttons) 2. external volume control in backside near camara. 3. No earphone with handset we need buy separately

Compared to other brand mobile phones in this range this phone is the best choice. Firstly i thought to order zefone 5 (9,500) but is was about to launch so i decided to wait for nearly 10 days and got better configuration in nearly same price. Overall its good decision to buy this phone.

1st of all, ignore all the fellows who have been complaining of poor camera quality, poor sound quality, poor battery quality and all that. These guys do not know anything about how to use a smartphone like Asus Zenfone Laser (AZL). 2ndly, I honestly don't see any CONS in this phone, especially at this price. - I tweaked the sound through Audi Wizard and it played a fabulous output on the speakers and through the earphones. - I played around with the camera settings and I got pictures that would compare favourably with a decent camera. Even in low light i got images that were not at all grainy. - Someone complained that the front camera came without a video shooting facility. I corrected that by downloading "Open Camera" application from Google Play Store. - The ZenUI makes it a pleasure to use. Everything I want is at a touch of a button. - There is not lag, no drag - nothing. - I do not play games, but my research on youtube.com showed me that this phones handles most games very nicely. - Transition between screens and applications is pure "maska". - I have downloaded more than 50+ apps and yet at most times I have more than 700MB RAM free. - Although the phone is 170 gms, it feels light, sleek and easy to hold. - Even though the phone is 5.5 inches, The "one hand operations" feature enables a person with small hands to work with the phone using only one hand. - The phone allows 2 Micro SIM cards and 1 microSD card. so all three have exclusive slots. So, just buy this phone!!! You will be delighted to own it.
