Asus recently confirmed that the Zenfone 12 Ultra will launch globally on Feb. 6. A recent teaser offered a glimpse of its front design, revealing new AI-powered features such as real-time call translation. The teaser also confirmed the presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, a rarity in modern flagships. Speculations suggest that the device might share its core hardware with the ROG Phone 9 Pro but without gaming-centric features. Now, a fresh report from WinFuture.de has revealed the phone’s complete specifications along with official renders. Read on to find out whether it is truly a repackaged ROG gaming phone or something different.
Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra design, colour variants
The Zenfone 12 Ultra sports a premium build with a distinct design, setting it apart from Asus’ gaming series. While it shares a similar form factor with the ROG Phone 9 Pro, the camera module is significantly redesigned, featuring imprinted texts, such as 50MP, OIS, and gimbal stabilization.
Unlike the aggressive aesthetics of ROG devices, the Zenfone 12 Ultra opts for a more refined look. It will be available in multiple colour options, although exact details remain unknown. Additionally, the flash module placement differs from the ROG counterpart, making it visually unique. The leaked images show that the device will be available in black, green, and pink shades.
Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra (specifications)
The Zenfone 12 Ultra features a 6.78-inch Samsung LTPO OLED display with 2400 x 1080 FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, which can reach 144Hz in gaming scenarios. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 8GB or 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.0 storage.
In the camera department, Aus has equipped the device with a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-700 sensor featuring hardware-based gimbal stabilisation. It is accompanied by a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 32-megapixel telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom and OIS. The 32-megapixel front-facing camera remains unchanged from the ROG Phone 9 Pro.
A 5,500mAh battery fuels the Zenfone 12 Ultra, supporting 65W wired charging and 15W Qi wireless charging. The Zenfone 12 Ultra runs Android 15 out of the box and integrates AI features to enhance photography and video recording. Impressively, it retains a 3.5mm headphone jack despite having IP68 dust and water resistance.
How similar is it to the ROG Phone 9 Pro?
The Zenfone 12 Ultra is largely based on the ROG Phone 9 Pro, sharing the same display, chipset, RAM, storage, and front camera. However, it differentiates itself with a smaller 5,500mAh battery (compared to the ROG Phone 9 Pro’s 5,800mAh), a redesigned camera module, and the absence of gaming-specific features like AirTriggers. The focus here is on camera performance and AI-driven enhancements, making it a more mainstream alternative to ASUS’ gaming flagship.
