Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra – Features, price and technical sheet

One of the brands specializing in small premium mobiles has just renewed its catalog, even if this time it is not aimed at small smartphones: the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra is anything but content. Large screen, extreme power, equipped with quality hardware and at a price that increases considerably compared to its 2023 brother, the Asus Zenfone 10.

Competition in the smartphone space has become tough this year, with most brands raising the bar in their most expensive range not only in terms of extreme power, but also in terms of photographic capabilities. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 by flag, large LTPO AMOLED panels protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, Artificial intelligence everywhere…Yes, these are exactly the foundations on which the new Asus model, the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra, is based. The Ultra thing is not a spur of the moment thing.

Asus increases the numbers of its Zenfone range in all

If the Asus Zenfone 10 left me with very good feelings and confirmation that an excellent mobile phone can be made in a super handy size, this new Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra retains everything I have already seen in its predecessor all in significantly increases all numbers. In the size of the phone, in the diagonal of the screen, in its processor, in the number of rear cameras… This gives me the impression that Asus is tired of defending the movement of powerful and small cell phones to switch to the majority of manufacturers who offer a giant usage surface.

Survey rule: smartphone users prefer large screens. So here is the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra: 6.78 inches diagonal for an AMOLED LTPO panel with a refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz which can go up to 144 Hz in games that support it. 2,500 nits of peak brightness, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection and under-display fingerprint reader.

I have already mentioned the processor of the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra, there are no surprises with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chosen: it is the one which marks the premium range for this 2024. In addition, the mobile is accompanied by 12 or 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256 or 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. It doesn’t have micro SD card expansion, although it does have one item not usually seen in Asus’ targeted range: 3.5mm headphone jack. Alleluia.

In the photographic section, Asus maintains much of the configuration of the Zenfone 10, although it takes the opportunity to improve the six-axis gimbal stabilizer to bring it to version 3.0: it now includes video recording in super stabilized mode.

50-megapixel main camera with the aforementioned gimbal stabilizer, the same 13-megapixel wide-angle camera incorporated in its predecessor and an addition that, personally, I consider very important: the Zenfone 11 Ultra takes advantage of its greater space for sneak a third camera with a telephoto lens. 3x zoom, OIS and 32 megapixel sensor.

The mobile being larger, Asus took the opportunity to correct one of the main faults of last year’s model: the battery of the new mobile reaches up to 5,500 mAh capacity. Increase fast charging to 65W wired and maintain 15W wireless charging. It does not offer reversible wireless charging.
