ASUS Malaysia recently revealed that their ASUS ZenFone 3 Max ZC520TL smartphone is now available at the online ASUS Malaysia Store for RM799. Joining the ZenFone 3 ZE552KL and ZE520KL alongside the ZenFone 3 Ultra ZU680KL, the good folks at ASUS Malaysia also revealed that the ZenFone 3 Laser ZC551KL going for RM999 will be available in mid-October 2016.

Going for the below RM1K price tag of RM999, the ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser ZC551KL looks to offer the updated features of a Qualcomm processor and fingerprint sensor with a cheaper looking aluminum unibody backside. According to ASUS tech guys, the ZenFone 3 Laser retains the same 13MP rear camera from the ZenFone 2 range, something we're not exactly happy about considering its rather outdated performance from before, but maybe it will do better with the 20 modes on PixelMaster 3.0. Instead of USB Type-C it is using a microUSB port.

ASUS Malaysia officially launched their ASUS ZenFone 3 range and yes, they confirmed our earlier rumour that all 5 of them are available to Malaysia and that there will be both the Snapdragon 820 and 821 variants for the ZenFone 3 Deluxe. No specific Malaysia release dates but ASUS Malaysia have assured us that all of them will arrive within this month of August. Check out the prices below:

• ASUS ZenFone 3 5.2-inch display (RM1499)

Not too long ago, cameraphones were rather expensive devices that provided excellent camera performance and features while being a smartphone at the same time. They usually had larger than average or phablet-sized displays which when coupled with their more powerful cameras usually resulted in having rather poor battery life. However, times are changing and we now have smartphones like the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser ZE550KL which not only offers a 13MP PixelMaster camera and laser autofocus but also a 5.5-inch display for just RM799. Is it the affordable energy efficient cameraphone phablet for Malaysia's masses? We find out in our review of the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser ZE550KL below.
