I hope the compact Zenfone line isn't ditched. The Zenfone 8, 9, 10 were all compelling for having high end specs in a smaller form factor. Honestly, this Zenfone 11 Ultra could replace one of the 2-3 variants of ROG phone. So ... compact Zenfone, Zenfone ultra, & ROG Ultimate would be a compelling lineup.

Sadly my Zenfone 9 suffered a short on the motherboard (my fault for using magnetic charging cables).. I bought the 16gb RAM 512GB storage version Zenfone 11 in black, arriving tomorrow, and I am actually rather excited for it - it might suck losing the small form factor but having a larger screen for a few years won't be so bad, seeing as I play a lot of wild rift and diablo immortal on my phone, and watch a ton of youtube, it'll be nice to have. However, I think it's pretty lame they aren't making a smaller version of the phone to continue their trend as the small form factor king in the phone market. I know ASUS doesn't have as much overhead as other larger companies to make 3 phones, but I think they could swing it.

What nobody talked about is that they finally moved the Headphone jack to the bottom w/ proper IO Layout that way your headphones are always pointing the right way in your pocket, and the Type C port on the far side so that the speaker output is in the proper place when you cup your hands while holding it.

@patrickthelysander4533 3 месяца назад

Well, if they made the same as ROG Phone 8, then why not combine them together into a product that has all ROG and Zenfone's features? In that way, they can cut their production cost while providing the best of the gaming and photography worlds. Idk man, I've used Zenfone lineups (Zenfone 2 laser, Zenfone 5z, and Zenfone 9) and I can say that this year, they really disappoint me. It's like they don't have a special thing that distinguishes them from others. If you guys know Zenfone 6 and 7, no other manufacturers did the same as ASUS at that time. Now Zenfone 8, 9, and 10, no other manufacturers made a powerful compact phone. And then this year? If they are not doing compact phones anymore, then I really expect them to do something different this year. Then here comes this phone, just a rebrand of ROG 8 with some AI. I am really, really disappointed...

If they just made the same phone as last year but updated the chipset and camera slightly, and offered 3/5 year software updates, it'd sell like hot cakes. I don't get their design team, they had a winner and instead of improving on it they joined the herd of ugly generic phones.

@andyH_England 3 месяца назад

I think you still need to read the rumours. The ASUS Zenfone sales have tanked, and last year, there was a rumour they would pull it from the market due to terrible sales. Clearly, the decline of the compact phone was one issue; instead, they made a ROG Phone without the flare and called it the Zenfone 11U. That will save money and be a last-ditch attempt to save the phone. So it was this or nothing. When Apple sells 10X more iPhone minis than the Zenfone 9 and discontinues it, it does not take much to understand why ASUS ditched the compact version.

This looks like the least enthusiastic Ultra Phone out there, literally in every department. The display resolution is pretty low, 1080p whereas even mid range 2023 and 2024 phones have switched to 1200p and Ultra phones coming with 1400p. The Camera bump looks uply and does not match with the rest of the phones, looks more like a after thought. In Camera department, yes, it does have 3 fully functional Cameras but neither of them having much of Ultra features, mid sized sensors, and just decent quality. Front Facing camera lacks 4K recording and that 2 years of update for an Ultra phone is a real bummer.

It is version 3 of 4nm. V.1 is the jump, V2 is optimisation, and V3 is overclocking. That generally means V3 is going to throttle. Once we get 3nm N3E next year, then there should be some efficiency in the performance. I always recommend V2 if you can, the SD8G2 was a beast and is well optimised.

@excellentboi1673 3 месяца назад

high end phones are all pretty similar specs wise these days,which is why I think it would come down to software most of the time for people who are looking to buy a phone in this price range. However , I haven't seen people consodering (or even being recommended) a zenfone or an rog phone in years and gaming phones are not that special using the same processor and sometimes lose out on other hardware like cameras. I think the only few people buying this phone are reviewers or people who reaaly need a headphone jack or don't like dongles

The zenfone 11 ultra should have been the rog phones, where there are different colors. Also considering how the price of the rog is similar to a Samsung S24 ultra, this would make rog a good choice since s24 ultra has different colors. Having the larger storage and ram on the rog makes it more competitive against S24 ultra. Two usb slots, headphone jack and air pressure sensors makes a nice additional for the price of 1200$ plus. Thus, the zenfone could have kept compact.

Here's my idea: most people like small phones bc they're more dailiable but the problem is they're too expensive and wn u'r paying that much, u r expecting all the features and battery life and wtnot. So y not make smaller midrangers and specially lowrangers? Like the iphone SE or the Galaxy A40.
