Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra review

Fair review. The software section is 75% soon will be 💯 a plus either way than the referrals 👍🏿

    Bro the main cam photos straight up look worse than the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ holy moly. This phone's cameras are so bad that the Realme 12 Pro+ seems like a top tier flagship in comparison, I'm not saying that phone is bad but it's just that that phone's a midranger and this is supposed to be a flagship. Unbelievable stuff from Asus like I thought the Nothing Phone 2 was kinda mid for the price due to its poor/mediocre processing but this is a new low. The low light performance is so bad, the noise is ugly/the noise reduction is 2019 Samsung level. Details are so artificial looking like damn. Who's this phone for?

    Throttling performance is good in the sense that it sustains the top end of the performance for longer but wow when it throttles, it throttles HARD in the performance mode. The Vivo X100 Pro is able to squeeze out more from the Dimensity 9300, just goes to show how good Vivo's optimization is and how good Mediatek have gotten, or how bad Asus has gotten. Yikes! Every other 8 Gen 3 phone is better.

    The speakers, omg did Asus forget that there's an entire part of the frequency spectrum called THE HIGHS? They must've been high cus this sounds even more muffled than the ROG Phone 8. Dynamics and stuff are good but the sounds has so little character now.

    Battery is the only saving grace, it's excellent but why would anyone want to use this mid phone for that long lmaoo, charging speeds are nice but no proper innovation has been done.

    Seems like the ROG Phone 7 Pro was Asus's swan song, or at least should've been. This just feels like a bastardization of the Asus of the past. Used to always think "well the ROG Phone is indeed kinda pricey but no phone is able to properly do what it does". This phone makes the S24 Ultra look like a good deal, that's a dystopian future I don't want lmao

          Oh. That's a real life image of the Zenfone 11 Ultra on the thumbnail? I thought GSMArena got lazy and used a promo image

            Go home Asus. You're drunk.

                So a 1k euro phone with worse cameras than $700 flagship "killers" and throttles fast so not performance focused either.

                  bad camera and software support, ASUS could do so much better

                    i can't lie...

                    the camera performance here (except video) is really disappointing. i understand that this is a slightly cheaper phone compared to the competition, but stills from this phone are comparable to devices that cost half or even more. i just can't see the point in getting the zenfone 11 ultra when the oneplus 12 exists and is much better

                      This phone actually looks really good, seriously considering future versions of it for my next upgrade.

                      And I'm 99% sure they'll still make a compact zenfone 11. Why go through the trouble of NG among this one the Ultra if there isn't a base one to compare it to? We'll prob see the base 11 later in the year

                        Was mildly interested in a compact zenfone 11 phone, but the value proposition is just not there, it's big and not even coming with a charger, it's just dull.

                          It is the end of compact Zenfone.

                          ASUS has been in financial trouble and undergoing restructuring since last summer. Thousands got laid off and the original Zenfone department merged with ROG Phone.

                          There's no Zenfone division now, so It is the end.

                            justasmile, 14 Mar 2024Price's not good. At 899, for 2 os updates and 4 years... moreIN THOSE 4 YEARS IF YOU SEE 2 security patches it's a lot hahaha

                              Price's not good. At 899, for 2 os updates and 4 years of security updates. Ridiculous, isn't it.

                                    This phone is a massive disappointment, just like it's rebrand, ROG 8

                                      Why having two identical phones? Is this going to be an excuse to kill the ZenFone line? Phone not selling good?

                                      Instead kill the ROG line, why have gimmicky RGB lights and fans in the f***ing phone?

                                      But I know, ROG line is better seller and more known to general public than ZenFone line.

                                        Camera software sucks. Photos are horribly oversharpened and this is bad for 1000€ phone.

                                          8 of 9
