In a major change for Asus’ mainstream Zenfone line, the Zenfone 11 Ultra made its official debut today. There are a lot of AI bells and whistles on board, but the phone is bigger than its predecessors.
A significant portion of the presentation is dedicated to AI, which optimizes Bokeh in Portrait Video Mode and assists in tracking an object’s face. There are also features such as transcription in sounds, call translation, noise cancellation, and artificial intelligence wallpaper.
Design:
As its name implies, this is a larger version of the Zenfone 11 and looks very similar to the ROG 8 Pro. With a more subtle, mainstream design than the ROG Phone 8 series, Asus could try a new approach by targeting a broader audience with the Zenfone 11 Ultra.
