At Computex 2015, ASUS unveiled a dream flagship, a new ZenFone that is dedicated to taking the best selfies. Then, ASUS ZenFone Selfie went on sale and won many people’s hearts thanks to its mighty front camera. Besides, I think that another key factor having contributed to ZenFone Selfie’s success is its color.
Originally, it has Pure White, Chic Pink, and Aqua Blue as sweet pastel colors. Yet, maybe they are too… cute for some adults or businessmen to use, so ASUS Philippines has decided to release more “formal” versions of ZenFone Selfie and even ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser!
Silver, Red, and Gold are the new colors!
Over at ASUS’s Facebook page, they have announced the new colors which are quite similar to ASUS ZenFone 2’s. However, you do not have to worry about the specifications. The ASUS ZenFone Selfie specs are remained no matter what color it is. For a full view of the device’s features, please have a look at the following table:

On the other hand, I also received news about the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser. Specifically, it is the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser 5.0, one of the first ZenFone 2 Laser models sporting a Qualcomm chip. Furthermore, its ability of taking photos is also great due to using laser focusing to achieve a focus speed of just 0.2 second with no shutter lag, according to ASUS.
Interestingly, ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser 5.0 is also the first member of the ZenFone family to be equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 4, having twice (2x) the drop-damage resistance of its predecessor and 2.5x retained strength, and 85% less likely to break in daily use. Cool!
