ASUS today announced the ZenFone 2 Laser's arrival in the US after seeing some very successful sales in India. ASUS' ZenFone line of smartphones has been met with much popularity, announcing back in early September that it received over 30,000 pre-orders. The ZenFone 2 Laser was the most popular of its lineup, receiving a whopping 10,000 pre-orders alone.
Much of the ZenFone 2 Laser's popularity is because of its attractive price point while still sporting fairly decent specifications. As a quick rundown, the ZenFone 2 Laser sports a 5.5-inch IPS Full HD 1920 x 1080 display, a 64-bit Snapdragon 615 Octa-core processor, an Adreno 405 GPU, 3GB of RAM, 16 or 32GB of storage options, microSD support up to 128GB, a. 13-megapixel rear camera, a removable 3,000mAh battery, and Android 5.0.
Those interested will be able to purchase it from Newegg or via ASUS' own online store for $199 (16GB) or $249 (32GB). The handset is only compatible with GSM carriers, such as AT&T and T-Mobile, meaning that those on CDMA networks like Verizon and Sprint are out of luck, unfortunately.
Starting at $199 off-contract, the ZenFone 2 Laser is a hard one to pass up. Anyone plan on picking one up?
