The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/detail\/1747160\/C11P2302\">Zenfone 11 Ultra<\/a>&nbsp;represented a major departure in size and capability, while the Zenfone 12 Ultra builds on that foundation with targeted enhancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Zenfone 11 Ultra marked a significant leap in design, introducing a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It included a 5,500mAh battery, 65W wired charging, and 15W wireless charging. The camera system comprised a 50MP main sensor with gimbal stabilization, a 32MP telephoto lens, and a 13MP ultrawide. ASUS&#8217;s clean software experience was well-received, though some noted inconsistent camera results, the absence of an in-box charger, and limited software support as drawbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building directly on this platform, the Zenfone 12 Ultra retains the same display, battery, and camera setup, but introduces enhanced performance through continued use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, now leveraged for new on-device AI features such as semantic photo search, AI-powered noise cancellation, and document summarization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, despite these refinements, the 12 Ultra has been met with criticism for its incremental updates and premium pricing. Concerns persist around ASUS&#8217;s continued stance on two years of OS updates and four years of security patches, leaving some to question whether the changes justify an upgrade from the previous model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASUS continues to refine its flagship Zenfone lineup, shifting from compact designs to more feature-rich, large-format smartphones.
