ASUS has launched the Zenfone 11 Ultra smartphone. It is a rebranded ROG Phone 8 that debuted in January this year. However, there are a few minor changes on the latest flagship offering from the Taiwanese brand. The company also seems to be moving away from the compact flagship tag unless ASUS announces a standard version of the Zenfone 11 in the future. Read on to know what the newly announced device offers out of the box. 

ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra specifications and features 

The ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra sports a flat frame design with a squarish camera island and lines on the bottom half of the back panel. Obviously, it lacks the ROG branding.

The ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra features a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display bearing a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels and a 144Hz refresh rate. It offers 2,500 nits peak brightness and supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision. There is a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout that accommodates a 32MP front-facing selfie snapper. 

On the optics front, the ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra has triple rear cameras. The setup comprises of a 50MP primary sensor with support for OIS and Gimbal, a 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 32MP telephoto unit. In terms of audio, the smartphone is equipped with stereo speakers tuned by Dirac and supports Hi-Res audio and Qualcomm aptX lossless audio.

The post ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra Debuts As A Rebranded ROG Phone 8 With Minor Differences appeared first on Gizmochina.

On March 14, 2024, Asus will officially unveil its Zenfone 11 Ultra smartphone in the global market. This device is a successor to the popular Zenfone 10 smartphone, however, it is quite different from its predecessor.

Design & display

In the age where smartphone sizes are getting bigger by the day, Zenfones were the only flagships catering to customers looking for an actual compact device. Well, it looks like this might be the end of small Zenfones, as the upcoming Zenfone 11 Ultra is said to feature a large 6.78-inch display.

Design-wise, the device is quite similar to the ROG Phone 8, with slight changes to the rear camera module. Leaked renders suggest that the device will feature an overall similar camera layout, with one large camera cutout on the right side of the module and two smaller ones on the left. The flashy gamer aesthetics on the back have been replaced by some geometric patterns, and the sides of the device are flat with no shoulder triggers.

The display onboard the Zenfone 11 Ultra is said to be a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with an FHD+ AMOLED LTPO panel that will support up to a 144Hz refresh rate. This is slightly different from the ROG Phone 8, which has a 165Hz AMOLED display of the same size and resolution.

As per a previous report, the Zenfone 11 Ultra will be available in five shades, such as Eternal Black, Skyline Blue, Misty Gray, Verdure Green, and Desert Sienna.

Performance

The similarities don’t end there a Geekbench listing has already revealed that the Zenfone 11 Ultra, with model number ASUS_AI2401_H, also comes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor that has a peak clock speed of 3.30GHz. It has scored 2226 and 6949 points in single and multi-core tests, respectively, which means that there won’t be any issues running day-to-day or even heavy tasks on this device.

In addition to that, the device is said to offer configurations with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, paired with up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. Currently, it is unclear what kind of cooling system will be onboard the Zenfone 11 Ultra. The ROG Phone 8 uses a conduction cooling system that has a heat pipe made of boron nitride alongside copper going through the phone’s motherboard. It is possible that we might see something similar on the Zenfone 11 Ultra, however, considering the conduction cooling system is a heavy-duty cooling solution developed for the gaming flagship, Asus might opt for something a bit tamer for the 11 Ultra.

The device is expected to pack a 5,500mAh battery with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging support. A leaked unboxing image of the device also suggests that the power brick might not be included in the box. Other than that, it is expected to have a 3.5mm audio jack, a stereo speaker system, Bluetooth 5.3, and WiFi 7 support. As for software, it will run on Android 14 out of the box. Like the ROG Phone 8, the 11 Ultra is also expected to come with some AI-driven features, such as enhanced results through the phone launcher, Gallery, and Settings apps.

Camera

The camera system is rumored to feature a 50 megapixel IMX890 main sensor, which is a significant upgrade over its predecessor’s IMX 766 sensor. That being said, the device will feature a gimbal OIS stabilization system for the main camera like its predecessor. It is also said to feature a 13 megapixel ultra-wide lens and an OIS-assisted 32 megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. For the front, the 11 Ultra will have a 32 megapixel selfie snapper.

Pricing & availability

A leak from last week suggests that the base model of the device with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will cost CZK 24,990 (approximately $1,078 USD / €986 EUR), while the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage configuration is said to cost around CZK 26,490 ($1,143 USD / €1,045 EUR). These prices are expected to be early bird prices, which could increase by CZK 1,000 ($43 or €39), and CZK 2,500 ($107 or €98) after the end of the promotion.

The previous leak revealed that the Zenfone 11 Ultra will be available in five shades, such as Eternal Black, Skyline Blue, Misty Gray, Verdure Green, and Desert Sienna. However, the HQ renders shared by Blass do not show the green variant of the device.

The general design of the Zenfone 11 Ultra is not different from the ROG Phone 8 series.

ASUS is gearing up to unveil a new Zenfone series smartphone soon. The company recently announced the ROG Phone 8 series, and now, it appears that the Zenfone 11 Ultra could be launching soon. So here are all the details.

ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra visits SDPPI

The Taiwanese tech giant’s Zenfone 11 Ultra was spotted on the SDPPI database, which is the certification platform of Indonesia. This device carries the model number ASUS_AI2401_H and its official moniker has also been revealed. Previously, the ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra surfaced on the Bluetooth SIG database which confirmed that the smartphone supports Bluetooth 5.4. For those unaware, the Zenfone lineup is a series of flagship grade smartphones that feature a compact design.

However, the “Ultra” could refer to a larger screen variant. But this is still speculation so take this report with a pinch of salt. Considering the ASUS Zenfone 11 is a direct successor to the Zenfone 10 model, the smartphone will likely feature upgrades over its predecessor. To recall, the Zenfone 10 sports a 5.92-inch AMOLED display that supports FHD+ resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the handset is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, so the Zenfone 11 Ultra will likely offer the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.

A 4,300mAh battery pack powered the Zenfone 10, which also supports 30W wired fast charging. The rear packs a 50-megapixel dual camera setup, while the front houses a 32-megapixel selfie shooter. Other notable features include side mounted fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.3, stereo speakers, 15W wireless charging and reverse charging support, GPS, and IP68 water and dust resistance.

In October, Asus confirmed that the upcoming ROG Phone 8 series of gaming phones will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. In the subsequent weeks, one of the ROG Phone 8 variants has appeared in the databases of Geekbench and China’s 3C certification platform. The arrival of the ROG Phone 8 series seems imminent, as it has now received approval from the Bluetooth SIG authority.  In addition, the same certification platform has also been certified by the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra.

ROG Phone 8 series, Zenfone 11 Ultra Bluetooth SIG certified

As can be seen, the ROG Phone 8 identified with model numbers such as ASUS_AI2401_D, ASUS_AI2401_A, ASUS_AI2401_C, and ASUS_AI2401_E has been approved by the Bluetooth SIG authority.

The ROG Phone 8 Pro bearing similar model numbers, such as ASUS_AI2401_A, ASUS_AI2401_C, and ASUS_AI2401_F, has also received Bluetooth SIG certification.

To recall, the AI2401_A variant was spotted with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 16 GB of RAM, and Android 14 on Geekbench, and it was spotted with a 65W fast charger in China’s 3C certification. On the other hand, the AI2401_D variant has appeared with 24 GB of RAM on Geekbench. There is a possibility that one of the ROG Phone 8 variants, probably the one with 24 GB of RAM, could be marketed as the ROG Phone 8 Ultimate.

It was reported in August that the Zenfone 10, which debuted earlier this year, could be the last Zenfone series phone from the brand. However, Asus quickly debunked the rumor by officially confirming that it will continue to produce the Zenfone line. Now, as can be seen in the above screenshot, the Zenfone 11 Ultra bearing the ASUS_AI2401_H is also in the works. Now that the Ultra variant has been spotted, it appears that the lineup may also include at least another model bearing the Zenfone 11 moniker. Unfortunately, nothing is known about the specifications of the Zenfone 11 series.

The Bluetooth SIG certification also shows that all the above devices will support Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. The ROG Phone 8 series may likely launch in Q1 2024 in different markets.
