We tuned in to the ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra launch today to get all the details on the tech brand’s latest offering. With ASUS already releasing the ROG Phone 8 to rave reviews earlier this year, we were expecting great things from the more mainstream flagship, and based on our first impressions, that’s what we’ve got.
Regarding specs, the Zenfone 11 Ultra proves ASUS’s willingness to go up against the big dogs in the industry, including the best Samsung phones and best Xiaomi phones, with its own fresh for 2024 flagship. We’re talking about top-tier performance thanks to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a generous camera set-up that includes 50 MP wide primary, 32 MP telephoto, and 13 MP ultrawide lenses, and a vibrant LTPO AMOLED display that levels up the gaming and streaming experience of the predecessor.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a new smartphone launch in 2024 without ASUS showing off some of the Zenfone 11 Ultra’s AI capabilities. Like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Series, this new flagship might be ideal for frequent travelers with its AI Call Translator, and creatives also have something to play with thanks to the AI Wallpaper feature, allowing you to create unique backgrounds and lock screens. Admittedly, it’s nothing we’ve not seen from other brands this year, but it’s noteworthy that ASUS is keeping up with the rest of the industry in terms of AI advancements.
