Asus graciously lend us its new ZenFone 2 Laser ZE550KL.
At first glance, it looks like Zenfone 2 but with ZenFone 5 original back matte back cover. Some people commented that it looks like LG G3. The Zenfone 2 Laser is just as the same size as Zenfone 2 but shorter with by a hairline difference of .01 in height. Volume keys at the back but the LED Flash has been move to the side and with the addition of Laser Sensor. Package includes Unit, Charger, Data Cable and Headset.
The Zenfone 2 Laser sports a large 5.5 inch HD IPS Display but still it is very handy due to its Arc back design. It is well protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 from pressure and scratches.

There is a concentric-circle pattern on the front and on the keys that produce a tactile effect add charm to the beauty of Zenfone 2 Laser. You have to look closer to see the intricate workmanship done.
It's quick and fast even with only Quad-Core Snapdragon 410 Processor. This is credited to its 2GB RAM and 64bit architecture is well utilized with Android 5.0 Lollipop. Zenfone 2 Laser has 16GB internal storage with 10GB available for usable storage. Here is Antutu Bencmark for your reference.
Not a gamer type of person but tried some common popular games like COC, Candy Crush, and Temple Run Series, the Zenfone 2 Laser did run those games without trouble or lag.

USB-OTG is supported so you could plug in your USB peripherals like usb flash drives.
In terms of camera, ZenFone Laser takes
