Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra exposed extensively in a Leak
Asus is breaking from its usual smartphone release routine, hinting at a potential game-changer in its upcoming Zenfone 11 Ultra. Recent findings from a Reddit user, Td3v1l, who delved into the latest ROG 8 firmware update, have unveiled a treasure trove of information. Renders, including images of the retail packaging, and a detailed spec sheet, provide an early glimpse into what could be a significant shift for Asus.
The Zenfone 11 Ultra appears set to break away from the compact flagship trend, offering a larger screen that closely mirrors the design of the ROG 8 Pro. This departure suggests Asus might be eyeing a broader audience with a more mainstream design, diverging from the gaming-centric focus of the ROG Phone 8 series.
In terms of specifications, the Zenfone 11 Ultra shares many features with the ROG Phone 8/8 Pro, housing the formidable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, coupled with a substantial 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and a capacious 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. The device boasts a generous 6.78-inch AMOLED LTPO display, offering a resolution of 1,080 x 2,400px and featuring a discreet punch-hole cutout for the 32MP front-facing camera.
While maintaining a powerful camera setup akin to its gaming-oriented counterpart, the Zenfone 11 Ultra features a 50MP main IMX890 sensor, a 32MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 13MP ultrawide lens. Noteworthy is the slight reduction in screen refresh rate, standing at 144Hz compared to the ROG Phone 8’s 165Hz.
Powering this potential flagship is a robust 5,500 mAh battery, supporting 65W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. Asus offers a palette of color options for the Zenfone 11 Ultra, including Eternal Black, Skyline Blue, Misty Gray, Verdure Green, and Desert Sienna, enhancing its appeal across diverse consumer preferences. Stay tuned for further developments as Asus prepares to unveil its latest creation, promising both substance and style in the Zenfone 11 Ultra.
