Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra Review Asus has lost the Zenfone's compact USP with the Zenfone 11 Ultra, and as such, it struggles to stand out
• The big-screen Zenfone experience The Zenfone 11 Ultra is the first Zenfone to break away from the compact nature of the series for the past few years with a big 6.78-inch AMOLED display. • All-day battery life With a big 5500mAh battery that’s bigger than most of the competition... ...the Zenfone 11 Ultra can last all day without needing a top-up. • Unique camera stabilisation system Using Asus’ proprietary 6-axis gimbal stabilisation 3.0 tech, the Zenfone 11 Ultra captures buttery smooth video free of jitter, and it makes capturing crisp photos easier too. ✔ Unique 6-axis stabilisation system.
✔ Refreshingly customisable approach to Android.
✔ All-day battery life ❌ Massively overheats when playing demanding games.
❌ Rather average camera setup.
❌ Only 2 OS upgrades planned You record a lot of videos With the unique 6-axis stabilisation technology, videos recorded on the Zenfone 11 Ultra are smooth. You play a lot of mobile games With overheating issues when playing demanding 3D titles, the Zenfone 11 Ultra, rather ironically, isn’t good for gaming. The Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra is a fine phone – it does most things well, but it doesn’t really exceed in any given area. That said, the Zenfone 11 Ultra’s highly customisable approach to Android 14 is one of the best around, offering the choice between stock and ZenUI on a granular level, and the AI features enhance the experience even if they don’t go quite as far as the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy AI.
