Judging from Asus release dates, if you can wait till July 2016 then get a zf3 if not zf2 deluxe is their latest and is already out on the market.

I would get the ZenFone 2 , not the deluxe, only thing the deluxe gets you is 128gb storage against 64gb which you can always just get a sd card for more room. Then when ASUS releases the ZenFone 3, get it whenever the ZenFone 2 stops being supported.

ZE551ML is the model ZOOAD is the production code. It's one and the same no need to worry.

Now welcome to the club dude and get ready for the picture attached as works are being started on the said os version.

If you intended to use the ZF2 as a dual sim phone, you should return now while you still can. Your second sim on 2G will be completely useless. As someone who has this phone, I'm already looking at other companies with enough LTE bands in addition to waiting to see what the ZF3 is going to actually offer. Don't get too excited about getting any OS updates either, Asus couldn't get its act together to go from 5.0 to 5.0 let alone 6.0. Asus own rep states with the Laser they are committed to giving the best experience on Lollipop 5.0 when asked if the Laser was going to get an update. LOL, there is no such thing with 5.0. Many other issues such as battery and dual sim handling could be solved by updating to 5.1 but they have not.

Frankly the ZF2 Laser looks just like my ZF2. The best thing to do is compare the specs and get whichever one fits within the budget. Internal storage is always better than external store unless your primary goal is media files and less about big apps or games. In which case 64GB w/ 128GB microSD is just fine.
