Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra (16GB + 512GB)

  • Excellent, bright 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 120Hz (up to 144Hz for gaming) refresh rate
  • Outstanding performance powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, capable of handling demanding games and multitasking with ease
  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting a day and a half or even two days with normal use
  • Inclusion of a rare 3.5mm headphone jack
  • Premium build quality and stylish design, with an IP68 durability rating
  • Solid cameras with good detail and true-to-life colors, especially the main sensor with 6-axis hybrid gimbal stabilization for smooth video
  • Clean, almost stock Android software experience with useful customization options and minimal bloatware
  • Loud and clear stereo speakers with Dirac Audio tuning

What we don't like about Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra (16GB + 512GB)

  • Uncompetitive software update policy, with only two major OS upgrades and four years of security updates promised
  • Cameras, while good, are not considered best-in-class compared to more expensive flagships, particularly in zoom quality and low-light performance with auxiliary lenses
  • Larger form factor is a departure from the compact design of previous Zenfones, which may disappoint fans of smaller phones
  • Does not include a charger in the box
  • Lack of mmWave 5G support (in the US version)
  • The USB-C port is off-center on the bottom, which can be awkward for some accessories or docks
  • Some AI features were in beta at launch and may require future software updates for full functionality
  • The phone can get warm during extended heavy use, although performance throttling is minimal

Verdict

The Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra (16GB + 512GB) is a high-end flagship smartphone focused on premium specifications and AI enhancements. Its main characteristics include a large 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, powered by the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, paired with a substantial 16GB of RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. Key pros are its versatile 50MP triple-camera system featuring 6-Axis Hybrid Gimbal Stabilizer 3.0 technology for exceptional stability, a massive 5,500mAh battery with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging, and unique AI features like AI Noise Cancelation and AI Wallpaper. Potential cons often mention its shift from the compact size of previous Zenfones to a large form factor and a potentially higher price point compared to some competitors.
