          AnonD-510098, 14 Jul 2016Whats the Zenfone 3 Lasers Battery Size? (mAh)Probably 2600, 2800 or 3000 mAh.

            What's the point of the Zenfone 3 laser? The normal Zenfone 3 has everything it has except a higher res camera and OIS?! This company is nuts...Unless the camera downgrade and 5.5" screen are cheaper/same price as the 5.2" Zenfone 3, it's pointless!!!

                    now those people who complain that the phone is too big and the battery is too small can finally rest in peace with Z3Max.
                    For Z3 Laser, I dont understand why they need to make it since the regular Z3 have 16mp IMX298 Laser/PDAF/CAF camera. Plus the regular Z3 price is $249 while the Z3 Laser is at $268 with 13mp IMX 214 camera.
                    Calling it "Laser" is ridiculous since all Zenfone 3 family now have a laser focus camera.

                      kurotsuki, 14 Jul 2016So... Is it OIS (like ZF 3 has) + EIS or just EIS? If both,... moreIt depends on how good is the post processing software :D

                      Sony's EIS (or what they call "SteadyShot") differs from 1 product to another (Cybershot and Alpha EIS are WAY better than the same EIS applied to the Xperia series)

                        AnonD-449925, 14 Jul 2016I hate Asus way of branding,They make a phone then make 16 ... moreThey are following Samsung's initial method of marketing.
                        Back then during the Samsung Galaxy S1's era, Samsung has a wide variety of low to mid-tier devices. By the time S2 came, they made a variety of mid to upper level devices including Phablets. This continued on and on until now....

                        If you compare it, ASUS is trying the same thing after dumping the Padfone series and started with the first Zenfone lineups.

                          kurotsuki, 14 Jul 2016So... Is it OIS (like ZF 3 has) + EIS or just EIS? If both,... moreOIS

                            So... Is it OIS (like ZF 3 has) + EIS or just EIS? If both, then good. If only EIS, which one is better? OIS or EIS?

                                2nd Laser-autofocus uses the LG G5, and 2.0 OIS.
