While many are waiting for a new compact smartphone, ASUS is launching the Zenfone 11 Ultra. A high-end model with pretty good value for money, but with a more imposing design than the Zenfone 10. How much is this new XXL iteration worth? This test gives the answers. While we anxiously await the successor to the excellent Zenfone 10, which was launched seven months ago (July 2023) and is still on sale, ASUS has rewarded us with the new Zenfone 11 Ultra in XXL format. Although the brand compares the two smartphones, does the latest model actually position itself as a successor or complement a variant of the potentially smaller Zenfone 11?
Asus doesn't have a clear answer to this question yet, although we'll share our thoughts on the subject with you at the end of our testing. Zenfone 11 Ultra intends to differentiate itself from Zenfone 10 on four points: design, camera, autonomy and artificial intelligence capabilities. uninspired design
It's hard not to see the slightly more refined design of the ROG Phone 8 Pro among the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra. Aside from the ASUS ROG logo and bright LED lights, what we're looking at is a near-perfect replica of its gaming cousin .
That's not wrong, though, and we praise the ROG Phone 8 Pro's “simple and clean” design. However, the Zenfone 11 Ultra has less personality, especially the sand-colored version we tested. In fact, the way the black camera block seems to be placed is unsightly, not to mention its location, which makes the phone wobble when laid flat. As you can guess from the dimensions above, we're dealing with a very large smartphone, with a 6.78-inch screen, a far cry from the compactness of the Zenfone 10. Asus is clearly using this as an advantage by emphasizing display comfort. The Zenfone 11 Ultra has thinner screen bezels and a better screen-to-size ratio compared to its sibling. The surface finish on the back is somewhere between matte and glossy and won't attract fingerprints.
We welcome the presence of a 3.5mm mini-jack connector, the rounded edges ensure a good grip, and the overall build quality is hardly the envy of its competitors. All parts are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which is durable and waterproof ( IP 68). On the other hand, we wish a little more work had been done on the design of the smartphone.
Having said that, the Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra still boasts a bit of originality, with its USB-C port being off-center and off to one side. The idea is definitely to make it easy to hold while charging the device while gaming.
a very bright big screen
If the phone's design leaves us a bit unsatisfied, it's great to go over the basics of the ROG Phone 8 Pro screen. We found a flexible E6 OLED screen with a diagonal of 6.78 inches, Full HD+ clarity, and we measured an average brightness of 1788 cd/m2, which is over 1000 cd/m2 higher than the Zenfone 10!
The Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra screen's minimum brightness drops to 5.9 cd/m2 or even 3.2 cd/m2 if eye protection mode and "darker" mode are activated in quick settings. Great for protecting your eyes at night. Like any high-end Android smartphone in 2024, the Zenfone 11 Ultra is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. Paired with 12 or 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256 or 512 GB UFS 4.0 storage. It's enough to ensure top-notch performance, on the same level as the ROG Phone 8 Pro, which, remember, is a “gaming”-oriented smartphone. Therefore, the Zenfone 11 is an excellent gaming device and we submitted Genshin Impact to it, which runs at 60 fps with high-level graphics. While the Asus smartphone's thermal range is slightly above the average of the "high-end" smartphones we 01Lab have tested over the past 18 months, it doesn't overheat when pushed to its limits. The Zenfone 11 had the second-highest stability score in our comparison of the day, behind only the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Battery life is long, but charging is a bit slow
ZenFone 11 Ultra The Zenfone 11 runs Android 14 and has Asus' very minimalist interface. The manufacturer is also giving users a choice of two interfaces (which essentially changes the control panel): "Optimized for ASUS" or a "native Android version," the latter of which is close to the interface found on Pixel smartphones. Unfortunately, Asus only promises 2 years of Android updates (minimum) and 4 years of security. If we consider that some competitors now offer 7 years of updates, as is the case with Samsung, Google and Apple, then this is nothing in 2024. The ASUS ZenFone 11 Ultra smartphones battery is 5,500 mAh (yes, like the ROG Phone 8 Pro). That's enough to give it 23 hours and 28 minutes of smartphones battery life, according to 01Lab's measurements, or a day and a half to two days of actual use That's better than most of the competition, except for the Honor Magic 6 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which still set the standard in this segment.
