Weekly poll: will you buy an Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra?

09 February 2025
The new model upgrades to a Snapdragon 8 Elite and improves the gimbal stabilization in the main camera, but still only promises 2 OS updates.

Even Galaxy A16 a $100+ phone gets 6y of android updates, yes whether if the hardware can support that long, at least the choice is there.

    People say the camera island is bad. Until you realize if you turn it 90° it's basically the Xiaomi 12T Pro's design. Not the worst thing in the world.

    But the price need to go down to like $799 territory since it's not much of an improvement let alone anything flashy about this phone. It's just an ROG phone but fancier. So for the price it's not worth it. Software update is fine.

      PatrickCzech, 09 Feb 2025The design is discussing. Sure is. It has a meeting every day just to finish up it's story. Must be a long discussion 😌

        Ugly design plus only 2 years of updates, like what? congrats to anyone who'd buy this crap, i'd be surprised if asus didn't fail after this phone fails miserably

            Nikojas, 09 Feb 2025It’s 2+5. It’s written in the article. My mistake. I thought he wrote about the difference between 1+ and S25+.

                  No I will not spend over 1000 eur for phone that is supported for only 2 years 🤣🤣

                    if someone gave it to me for free? sure! but if im paying for it with my own money this phone better AI generate a better future for me to make that high msrp worth it.

                      hev.c, 09 Feb 20252 OS updates for a €1,100 phone in 2025 is unacceptable2 OS updates for anything more than $250 is unacceptable, for over $1000 it's just a scam.

                        2 OS updates for a €1,100 phone in 2025 is unacceptable

                          This phone costs the same price as other flagship despite being mediocre in every area.
                          Mediocre cameras, mediocre design, mediocre battery life, mediocre UI, mediocre software support,

                          Definitely not worth the price.

                            the only person buying asus lineup is a dumb kid who prioritised bragging rights. not to mention their forever horrible customer support.

                              4+5, sorry. But still better than 7 on paper.

                                      At half the asking price, sure. Otherwise no

                                        If it weren't for the mediocre camera setup and lower than what it should be display resolution, and the atrocious pricing this could've been a good phone. However even the S25+ is better value, while the OnePlus 13 simply destroys it.
