The Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra is an unapologetically grand phone with a large 6.78-inch screen with an impressively high refresh rate of 144Hz. It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, so performance is top-notch.
A 5,500mAh battery will keep it running all day long with plenty of juice left for late-night scrolling or early-morning catch-ups. When the battery dies, 65W charging fills it to the brim in a little over an hour. A 15-minute top-up is enough for charging it to more than 30 percent.
The triple-camera system produces pleasant pictures with true-to-life colors and lots of details. The phone’s image stabilization tech ensures that videos come out stable and steady.
And, yes, the phone also has AI-powered features such as in-call translation, so you aren’t missing out on anything. And far more important than the inclusion of AI features, for me at least, is that the phone retains the headphone jack.
The 12GB/256GB model costs $899.99, but Amazon is offering a $250 Cyber Monday discount currently.
If performance and long battery life are your main priorities, this phone should be your pick this savings season. Don’t let overhyped phones distract you from what this phone has to offer.
