Asus has officially announced that the global launch of the Zenfone 12 Ultra is set for February 6. A recent promotional video provided a sneak peek at its front design and introduced several AI-driven functionalities, including real-time call translation. Remarkably, the device retains the 3.5mm headphone jack, distinguishing it from other contemporary flagship models. While the Zenfone 12 Ultra is believed to share essential hardware components with the ROG Phone 9 Pro, it reportedly lacks the latter’s gaming-specific features. In the latest update, WinFuture.de has disclosed the smartphone’s full specifications and official images.
Design:
The Zenfone 12 Ultra has a sophisticated build and a unique aesthetic that differentiates it from Asus’ gaming-oriented models. Although it is similar in size and shape to the ROG Phone 9 Pro, its camera setup stands out, with engraved details such as “50MP,” “OIS,” and “gimbal stabilization.”
In contrast to the bold design typical of ROG devices, the Zenfone 12 Ultra features a more polished appearance. It will be launched in various colours, though specific shades have yet to be disclosed. The placement of the flash module also sets it apart from its ROG counterpart, enhancing its distinct look. According to recent leaks, the device will be offered in black, green, and pink variants.
