Summary
- The Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE500KL features a plastic build with a Gorilla Glass front, while the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime has a more premium aluminum frame and plastic back.
- Both phones have a 5.0-inch display with the same resolution and pixel density, but the J5 Prime's PLS LCD may offer better viewing angles.
- In terms of performance, the J5 Prime's Exynos 7570 chipset and 1.4 GHz CPU provide a slight edge over the Zenfone's Snapdragon 410.
- Both devices have a 13 MP rear camera with 1080p video capability, but the J5 Prime benefits from a wider aperture (f/1.9) for improved low-light performance.
- They share a 2400 mAh battery capacity and lack fast charging, while the Zenfone runs on an older Android version compared to the J5 Prime, which can be upgraded to Android 8.0.
