Asus seems relentless in flooding the Indian smartphone market with variations of ZenFone 2 models.
The rest of the specs put the device squarely in entry-level category – a 13-megapixel camera on the rear and a 5-megapixel selfie cam on front, a pretty lowly Snapdragon 410 processor and 2GB of RAM. Both of these cameras have a dual LED flash.
The Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe, the costliest of them all at Rs 22,999, comes with a 5.5-inch full HD display and is powered by a 2.3GHz Intel Atom Z3580 quad-core processor with 4GB of RAM. The ZenFone 2 Laser will be available in three size variants with prices starting from Rs 9,999. Its 13 megapixel rear auto focus camera has laser auto focus that claims to click images in 0.3 seconds. Don’t expect much from the cameras as the main shooter is a 2MP camera while the front shooter is just a VGA camera.
The ZenFone 2 Deluxe also comes with a premium back cover made of premium polygonal design in white, blue and red colours.
The company has also announced the worldwide debut of ZenFone Max that comes with a huge 5000 mAh battery.

The connectivity options include 4G LTE, 3G and Wi-Fi with support for “ac” draft.
