The awaited Flash Plus 2 just got official and with it comes capable specs on paper. This is why we’re pitting it against the also-recent ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5S. Let’s take a look at what these smartphones could offer its users with almost the same price point.

Note: Do keep in mind that there are two variants of Flash Plus 2 and what we’re comparing here is the model with a bigger 3GB RAM, 32GB of storage, and a higher asking price.

Flash Plus 2 Advantages:

Higher resolution at Full HD
Higher pixel density
Higher memory expansion
Front flash
Fingerprint sensor
Hi-Fi chip
Updated OS

Both are equal in:

Display size
RAM
Storage
Megapixel count for rear camera
Megapixel count for front camera
Dual-SIM
Connectivity
GPS
Battery capacity

From here, we see that the Zenfone 5.5S doesn’t really offer anything big that the Flash Plus 2 doesn’t have. There’s the Laser autofocus that promises 0.03-second of focus time and a capable Snapdragon processor. On the other hand, the Flash Plus 2 also has a slew of advantages over the 5.5S like a fingerprint sensor and a hi-fi chip to make your music sound better.

1920×1080 display with only 2cores of mali. Can it run real racing 3 with no fps drop or lag? I bet that asus can run without fps drop when playing rr3

I hope its not all just in paper though,

To really have a really good experience on using the phone, hardware must meet with software optimization

I have AFP for almost a year this month, I purchased ZF 2 Laser 5.5S last week. The experience is way better on Asus. You can feel the premium build and experience. The AFP looks better and sexy with thin bezels. But you will never determine which is better unless you use them. I have so much doubts with the FP2 and no one can question that. Buggy OS, abandoned updates. I even got mine service after 2months, but it might be an isolated case and was fixed after a month and working till now.

I am really unsure if I will regret getting this Asus, but for now, I have a great spending times with it. Asus is known for its SW updates, while Alcatel is the otherwise. If the reviews go great with this version, I might consider it but for now, let’s wait.
