As the announcement mentions, the ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra will launch on March 14, 2024, at 8 am ET.
ASUS’s landing page for the Zenfone 11 Ultra’s launch event mentions three time zones: Taipei, Berlin, and New York. While not conclusive proof by itself, it indicates that the phone could see a launch in these three markets, aligning with the availability of the ROG Phone 8, too.
The Zenfone 11 Ultra is expected to come in five colors: Eternal Black, Misty Gray, Desert Sienna, Skyline Blue, and Verdure Green. Leaked phone renders indicate a ROG Phone 8 rebrand, albeit with different cosmetics. With its distinct design, the Zenfone 11 Ultra could have a better chance of appealing to mainstream consumers than the ROG Phone 8. Since the latter was a great gaming phone, the Zenfone 11 Ultra has a good chance of dominating recommendation lists.
According to a leaked spec sheet, the Zenfone 11 Ultra will have a 6.78-inch, 2,400 x 1,080 AMOLED display, with LTPO switching between 1-120Hz and a max refresh rate of 144Hz in some games. It is said to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, coupled with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.0 storage.
For the cameras, the Zenfone 11 Ultra could come with a 50MP Sony IMX890 with gimbal OIS as the primary shooter, a 13MP ultrawide with a 120-degree field of view, and a 32MP telephoto camera with OIS for 3x optical zoom. The front could be a 32MP RGBW sensor.
Other specifications include a 5,500mAh battery. It could support 65W fast charging and 15W wireless charging. The Zenfone 11 Ultra could also come with a 3.5mm headphone jack and dual stereo speakers. Overall, the phone appears to be very similar to the ROG Phone 8.
