The Zenfone 11 Ultra, Asus’s flagship smartphone, has been unveiled, signaling a significant shift in the company’s primary product lineup. Equipped with a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and cutting-edge artificial intelligence features, the device boasts larger dimensions compared to its predecessors. Measuring nearly 164 mm in length and almost 77 mm in width, the smartphone is 8.9 mm thick and weighs 224 grams.
Interestingly, the Zenfone 11 Ultra shares the same dimensions as the ROG Phone 8 Pro, with a similar appearance, although the design has been altered to appeal to a broader audience. Sporting an LTPO AMOLED display measuring 6.78 inches diagonally, the screen offers Full HD+ resolution, a 144 Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 2500 nits. The top of the display is safeguarded by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, with a 32 MP camera housed in a punch-hole cutout at the center. Surprisingly, the smartphone retains a 3.5 mm audio jack at the bottom.
The Zenfone 11 Ultra features a triple camera setup, with the main sensor being the Sony IMX890 at 50 MP and a 6-axis hybrid gimbal stabilizer Asus 3.0. The additional sensors include a 13 MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 32 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. It is powered by a 5500 mAh battery that supports 65 W wired charging and 15 W wireless charging. Notably, the device does not come with a charging block. Other notable features of the Zenfone 11 Ultra are Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7 support.
The focus of the presentation centered on the artificial intelligence features integrated into the Zenfone 11 Ultra. Primarily, these features consist of AI camera functions that enhance blur reduction in portrait mode while recording videos and accurately track faces. Additionally, the device offers audio transcription, speech translation during calls, noise cancellation, and AI-powered wallpaper selection.
The Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra comes in four different color choices: Skyline Blue, Eternal Black, Misty Gray, and Desert Sand.
