In terms of power, they are very similar. The ZenFone 3 Laser and Next are equipped with the efficient 1.4 GHz 64 Bit Snapdragon 430 octa core processor paired with the heavy gaming grade Adreno 505 GPU, HUGE 4 GB of RAM for seamless multitasking, and 32 GB of internal storage.
The advantages of the ZenFone 3 Laser are: more solid and slimmer metal unibody frame, bigger 5.5 inch screen, EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) for better video shooting, brighter 8 MP f/2.0 w/ 89 degrees wide angle selfie cam and more feature rich skin w/ regular updates.

On the other hand, the Next uses the tougher Gorilla Glass 4 protection, dedicated micro SD card slot, Quick Charge 3.0 tech (though I also suspect that ZenFone 3 has it), higher-end 16 MP f/2.0 Samsung S5K3P3 ISOCELL sensor w/ PDAF and LED flash main camera, LED selfie flash, and a more affordable SRP.
