Apart from Zenfone 3 series triumvirate, Asus also presented the new Zenfone 3 laser in India, priced at 18,999 INR.
The Zenfone 2 Laser, launched last year, owed its success to design semblance with top tier Zenfone 2 models, and integration of a reasonable camera module with Laser AF even at affordable price. Asus further cashed in on the success by bringing in a few other better specced variants to an over-crowded table.
