Asus LolliFlash from Amazon.in



Why Buy : 

Got the asus zenfone laser 2 for review and found that they lacked accessories but had plenty listed on their official site . First one which looked "useful" was this tiny flash for selfies . True people are obsessed with selfies , but atleast that beats them being obsessed with others . Plus a bit of creativity does help in any kind of photography . 


A bit of History : 

Taking Selfies in the dark is a pain , especially with focus and when in motion . Alternate option is to use someone else's camera flash to shine some light , but too many stretched out arms in the photo .

Why Buy This : 

I had no idea you had LED flashes for front camera . Noticed a few cheaper LEDs too . Stuck to the name and went for the colour since the wife is the one going to be using this anyways . Hence the red lolli , which kind is more pinkish though !!!


Pros : 

  • Two LEDs with 3 different intensities 
  • Colour filters for LEDs for dramatic selfie finishes 
  • Better selfies , especially when taken in low lighting like restaurants and bars . 
  • Comes in various colours

Kons :

  • Does not help much as a regular flash for the primary camera . Asus does have another flash for that though
  • The filters don't fit the flash properly and tend to fall of with the slightest touch . Not sure why this does not have a better fit as the filters can easily get lost 
  • The pin is dummy and does not help charging . 
  • Need a separate mini usb charger cable for that 
  • No flash control from the camera settings on the phone itself.

Do's : 

  • Carry it in a box or a purse

Don'ts :

  • Dont keep it in your pant pocket as the plastic dummy jack might break
  • Dont stack the filters together as it may tear Find a way to fasten the filters a bit tighter 

Used with :

Primarily with Asus zenfone laser 2 . Have to try it with other smartphone cameras


Price : 

Rs.865 . Currently at Rs.899
