Flash Plus 2 Advantages:
Both are equal in:
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.

Flash Plus 2 is no longer in Alcatel umbrella. It should be called Flash Plus 2 instead. :)

Almost stock android – also an advantage sa FP2
JAMES says:
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.

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

What about sensors? need to know for vr support.
Vince says:
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
