As originally confirmed, the ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra has officially been launched today. This flagship model carries everything you would expect from a top-of-the-line device, which we’ll get into below.
For starters, the ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra comes loaded with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, tested to be one of the most powerful mobile processors to date. This powerhouse is supplemented by up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, the best you can get in 2025.
This should help it process AI-related procedures, efficiently running the Meta Llama 3 8B engine onboard. Other AI features loaded in for this year are aimed towards translating and transcribing phone calls, voice recordings, and other pieces of data. Automated summaries are also in vogue right now, with ASUS riding the wave too.
Up front, the smartphone rocks a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED display, with adaptive refresh rates of up to 120Hz. This can be further boosted to 144Hz with supported games and applications. Given the HDR10 technology also found onboard, this should make for an immersive experience for everyday use, media consumption, or gaming.
Outdoor use should be no issue with up to 2,500 nits of brightness and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection for those accidental scuffs and drops. IP68 water and dust resistance should also provide some reassurance of durability.
ASUS promises all-day battery life with its Zenfone 12 Ultra – and we wouldn’t doubt that, given the installed 5,500 mAh battery pack. When the juice does run dry, a 65W fast-charging brick can fill it up in as little as an advertised 39 minutes. Or, you could also go with 15W wireless charging courtesy of Qi 1.3 technology.
The ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra also comes with Sony’s new Lytia-700 image sensors for its optics. This carries enhanced Gimbal Stablization, lessening the shakes and other signs of movement in video. The onboard 50-megapixel main shooter, 32-megapixel telephoto, 13-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and 32-megapixel selfie shooter all work together to provide a reliable tool you can use to take quality photos on the go.
Lastly, but probably more significant to some of you than anything else in the Zenfone 12 Ultra’s arsenal: it comes with a headphone jack. This is a welcome addition for audiophiles who love using wired IEMs or headphones with their mobile devices – minimizing the need for a dedicated music player. ASUS has also installed Dirac Virtuo software for users to enjoy complex spatial audio on the go.
Prices for the ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra are pegged to begin at €1,099.

Too overprice for what it offers, better get a cheaper nubia Z70 Ultra than this one.
