Exclusive Leak Reveals Stunning Details of Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra

For the previous few years, Asus has released its smartphone portfolio according to a rigid release timetable. The ROG Phone line targets gamers with flagship specs and larger screens, while the Zenfone series offers more affordable flagships. Although Asus is anticipated to release the Zenfone 11 shortly, this may be the first time the company offers a bigger screen model of its flagship.

Our first glimpse at the Zenfone 11 Ultra comes from a new leak that Reddit user Td3v1l found while poring over the most recent ROG 8 firmware update. The images include both the retail packaging box and a comprehensive spec sheet.

As the name suggests, the Zenfone 11 Ultra appears to be an enlarged variant of the standard Zenfone 11, closely resembling the design of the ROG 8 Pro. Asus seems to be adopting a new strategy, aiming for a wider audience with the Zenfone 11 Ultra's more understated and mainstream design, in contrast to the bold aesthetics of the ROG Phone 8 series.

According to the leaked specifications, the Zenfone 11 Ultra is set to share most of its key features with the ROG Phone 8/8 Pro, albeit with a slightly lower screen refresh rate at 144Hz compared to the ROG Phone 8's 165Hz.

Under the hood, the Zenfone 11 Ultra will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, coupled with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a generous 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The device will sport a 6.78-inch AMOLED LTPO display, offering a resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels and featuring a punch-hole cutout housing the impressive 32MP front-facing camera. The leaked specifications also reveal a familiar camera setup, comprising a 50MP main IMX890 sensor, a 32MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 13MP ultrawide lens.

With a claimed capacity of 5,500 mAh, the battery offers both 15W wireless charging and 65W cable charging capability. The colors Eternal Black, Skyline Blue, Misty Gray, Verdure Green, and Desert Sienna will be offered for the Zenfone 11 Ultra.
