Updated July 27, 2018: It’s been almost 2 years since we bought our Asus Zenfone 3 Laser and it’s still performing very well.
It still looks fine fine inside and out. Battery is okay. It charges well and it doesn’t go “low batt” easily.
This Asus Zenfone 3 Laser is still my wife’s primary phone and she uses it when taking videos for her vlogs and when taking pictures. In short, it still does what it’s supposed to do – laser focused photos and very clear videos.
When we purchased it back in October 2016, it cost us P11,990. And guess what, it’s still available at Lazada and you can buy it for only P6,695! It’s insanely affordable now!
Well, yeah, I understand that cellphones and other gadgets depreciate in value fast, but considering the specs of this Asus Zenfone 3 Laser, you can never go wrong with it at this very cheap price. It’s got everything you need in a smartphone.
So, if you’re planning to buy a new cellphone for yourself or for your loved one without having to spend a lot of money, I recommend this Asus Zenfone 3 Laser. And to make that you get the cheapest price, check it out at LAZADA here.

We first went to SM Megamall on October 15. At that time, only 3 stores are selling the Asus Zenfone 3 Laser and only the silver unit was available. I originally preferred to have the gold one, but according to them, only the silver was released here in the Philippines so far.
I compared the prices and terms of payment of the 3 stores:
- Store #1 – Price is P11,995 if cash; +6-8% interest if installment using credit card
- Store #2 – Price is P11,995 if cash; +0% interest if installment using credit card
- Store #3 – Price is P11,995 if cash; +0% interest if installment using credit card, max of Php 10,000, the rest should be paid in cash
I was a bit hesitant at first because the gold unit wasn’t available. But looking at the silver unit made me want to buy and bring it home already. When I finally decided to buy it at Store #2, they said it’s already their cut-off time and they could release the phone for that day anymore. Waah!
I didn’t want to buy it at Store #1 because I had to pay an additional P500 if I go for 3 month installment; while Store #3 wasn’t possible at the moment because I had no cash at that time to pay the extra 1995 since only P10,000 will be covered by the credit card.
In the end, we decided to go home without the Asus Zenfone 3 Laser. Sad but I thought maybe it wasn’t the right time to buy that phone yet and it’s also a good thing because I have more time to review and discern if it’s really the one that I want to have.
2 days later, my decision was firm. I will buy the Asus Zenfone 3 Laser even if the only available color is silver.
So we went to Greenhills, hoping that there’s a gold unit available, but as expected, only the silver unit was available in all the stores that we’ve visited. At that time only 2 stores have the Asus Zenfone 3 Laser available. So we don’t have much of an option.
When we found the store that offers Asus Zenfone 3 Laser at Php 11,500 if cash or Php 11,990 in 3 month installment, I bought it without hesitation. I preferred to pay in 3 month installment because we find it more convenient for our budget.
My wife created 2 video reviews of the Asus Zenfone 3 Laser
After 1 week of using…
We’ve had this phone for a week now and so far so good. My wife loves taking photos and videos using the Asus Zenfone 3 Laser. She gets to maximize the features and she’s really happy with it so far.
There was a time that she complained because the battery drains fast. But I found out that her applications are running in the background and I taught her how to manage them to reduce the battery usage when the applications are not in use.
Another thing that bothers her a bit is the sim card slot. She can use both the micro sim and nano sim slots, but she cannot use the micro sd slot. Why? Because the nano sim slot is the same slot as the micro sd slot.
I don’t know why Asus designed it that way, but I guess that’s one thing that we don’t like about this unit.
We don’t need to insert a micro sd card for now, but if if ever we get to that point, then we might just have to let go of the nano sim or probably back up and transfer our files to the computer to free up space so we won’t have to remove the nano sim.
Other than that, everything else is superb on this Asus Zenfone 3 Laser smartphone.
It’s a good buy indeed!
The features are worth the price. We definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a smartphone with great camera and other features at a very affordable price.
