As it should be. Flagship device should have all the necessary features. Great job Asus! I hope the other Android phone manufacturers would come to their senses and follow this trend.
My last Asus phone, the Zenfone 7 Pro is probably the best phone i've had so far! Such downgrade going from that to the OnePlus 9 Pro. I using the Pixel 8 Pro today, but I still miss the Asus. The flip cam was a gamechanger for selfies. And a really good vlogging phone!
I still have it and am using it now, i love the flip cam as it comes in clutch sometimes and is always fun The fast finger print reader is great too But my screen is broken and missing parts i can see the battery through the missing parts of the screen Charging only works at certain angle I have had this for 4 years now and planning on a new one Im thinking about getting this new Zenfone 11 Do you have it? What do you think of it?
@@AmericanBusinessman422 I do. I have a bunch of high end headphones still using 3.5mm jack. It's atrocious that phone makers all got together and decided that their customers must buy new headphones just to use with their phone. The "nobody uses 3.5mm anymore" is a marketing ploy for planned obsolescence. Stop regurgitating that crap.
@@Will.iam-67 Is there any company giving 1 year update? I don't think so. Asus is below chinese brands like xiaomi, realme, vivo. They all do 3 years. Asus is in the bottom of Android updates support.
Love the fact, this phone have Audio Jack. A nice thing for Audiophile even me who mostly like listening to music with wired devices, such as headphone even powered speakers 😅 Asus seems able to fit that thing, I mean Audio Jack. At bottom position
It is version 3 of 4nm. V.1 is the jump, V2 is optimisation, and V3 is overclocking. That generally means V3 is going to throttle. Once we get 3nm N3E next year, then there should be some efficiency in the performance. I always recommend V2 if you can, the SD8G2 was a beast and is well optimised.
What nobody talked about is that they finally moved the Headphone jack to the bottom w/ proper IO Layout that way your headphones are always pointing the right way in your pocket, and the Type C port on the far side so that the speaker output is in the proper place when you cup your hands while holding it.
They come up with the coolest ideas (they're the LG of smartphones nowadays) and then just ditch them.. 2 examples: flip camera and form factor. Everyone loved the flip camera and they ditched it. They could've made 2 phones: zenfone 11 (small form factor) and zenfone 11 ultra (flip cam). They really are dropping the ball....
This looks a lot like the ROG Phone 8. I think Asus has made the right call with this, with all the the best spec and features a flagship can offer. Hopefully they still remain the compact version thou.
Well, if they made the same as ROG Phone 8, then why not combine them together into a product that has all ROG and Zenfone's features? In that way, they can cut their production cost while providing the best of the gaming and photography worlds. Idk man, I've used Zenfone lineups (Zenfone 2 laser, Zenfone 5z, and Zenfone 9) and I can say that this year, they really disappoint me. It's like they don't have a special thing that distinguishes them from others. If you guys know Zenfone 6 and 7, no other manufacturers did the same as ASUS at that time. Now Zenfone 8, 9, and 10, no other manufacturers made a powerful compact phone. And then this year? If they are not doing compact phones anymore, then I really expect them to do something different this year. Then here comes this phone, just a rebrand of ROG 8 with some AI. I am really, really disappointed...
Are you serious? The cameras are like from a mid ranger. Even realme 12 Pro+ has better. This phone is terribly priced, especially since it costs pretty much the same as OnePlus 12.
Well, you guys complain about a flagship phone without a headphone jack. Now that it has a headphone jack, you complain why it looks like an old phone🤔
I wouldn't mind the look if it has one of the most important feature. But the design has nothing to do with the headphone jack. Manufacturers just got greedy 😂😂
@@Jisooee There are slick designs that still have 3.5mm jacks. Asus dropped the ball on the overall design of this phone, it's a big step back from previous gen.
@@AmericanBusinessman422 Where do you store pics, your contacts and other personal info? What do you do when your phone won't boot to transfer your stuff? Do you use the cloud for this? Only a total fool uses the cloud for personal info
Sadly my Zenfone 9 suffered a short on the motherboard (my fault for using magnetic charging cables).. I bought the 16gb RAM 512GB storage version Zenfone 11 in black, arriving tomorrow, and I am actually rather excited for it - it might suck losing the small form factor but having a larger screen for a few years won't be so bad, seeing as I play a lot of wild rift and diablo immortal on my phone, and watch a ton of youtube, it'll be nice to have. However, I think it's pretty lame they aren't making a smaller version of the phone to continue their trend as the small form factor king in the phone market. I know ASUS doesn't have as much overhead as other larger companies to make 3 phones, but I think they could swing it.
The phone doesn't look premium at all. The last year's zenfone looked distinctly unique. This us a step back. No idea what their marketing feedback was, but this is too bland and forgettable.
If they just made the same phone as last year but updated the chipset and camera slightly, and offered 3/5 year software updates, it'd sell like hot cakes. I don't get their design team, they had a winner and instead of improving on it they joined the herd of ugly generic phones.
I think you still need to read the rumours. The ASUS Zenfone sales have tanked, and last year, there was a rumour they would pull it from the market due to terrible sales. Clearly, the decline of the compact phone was one issue; instead, they made a ROG Phone without the flare and called it the Zenfone 11U. That will save money and be a last-ditch attempt to save the phone. So it was this or nothing. When Apple sells 10X more iPhone minis than the Zenfone 9 and discontinues it, it does not take much to understand why ASUS ditched the compact version.
@@andyH_England like I said they could have increased the screen size to mid like 6.3-6.5 and still retained the better looking aesthetics of the previous gen phone. This looks old and bland.
this ultra phone leaked months ago but nothing leaked of a normal sized zenfone 11, is asus really foregoing a smaller phone? would be a huge misfire if they do, if apple has been doing it i don't know why asus is not comfortable doing so, they should release a 6.1" sized display zenfone 11
This looks like the least enthusiastic Ultra Phone out there, literally in every department. The display resolution is pretty low, 1080p whereas even mid range 2023 and 2024 phones have switched to 1200p and Ultra phones coming with 1400p. The Camera bump looks uply and does not match with the rest of the phones, looks more like a after thought. In Camera department, yes, it does have 3 fully functional Cameras but neither of them having much of Ultra features, mid sized sensors, and just decent quality. Front Facing camera lacks 4K recording and that 2 years of update for an Ultra phone is a real bummer.
the zenfone department shut down late summer. they just gave their name up to the sole surviving phone department, the rog, to keep the name alive or whatever
They should keep the last year design and include another small camera rather than changing overall camera setup with using square-like camera bumps. But the performance seems great!
I hope the compact Zenfone line isn't ditched. The Zenfone 8, 9, 10 were all compelling for having high end specs in a smaller form factor. Honestly, this Zenfone 11 Ultra could replace one of the 2-3 variants of ROG phone. So ... compact Zenfone, Zenfone ultra, & ROG Ultimate would be a compelling lineup.
even though they have 2 years of android update but the phone can last longer until 6-7 years! (my friends use asus zenfone max pro m1 since 2018 and it still going untill now and it runs well)
No 4K recording on the telephoto ? Manufacturers still do things like this ? Too bad, they were on something with the 9 and 10, now it's a basic smartphone. You can feel the ROG rebranding in some way
Honestly i like the phone. A large flagship for much cheaper than the other large flagships. it looks great. It could be better if the chim was the same size as the rest of the bezels but I'm ok with it. Sinsce it's pretty smal anyway. And you really don't notice it in using it. Speaking from experience.
The zenfone 11 ultra should have been the rog phones, where there are different colors. Also considering how the price of the rog is similar to a Samsung S24 ultra, this would make rog a good choice since s24 ultra has different colors. Having the larger storage and ram on the rog makes it more competitive against S24 ultra. Two usb slots, headphone jack and air pressure sensors makes a nice additional for the price of 1200$ plus. Thus, the zenfone could have kept compact.
Does the ASUS Zenfone resist being under heavy storm rain (for example if you're going or returning from work and have to walk outside for at least a dozen minutes) ? I know that the phone has an IP68 protection against dirt and water projection but I recently lost use of my Google Pixel 7, who supposedly had a similar protection index, as I had to walk under a heavy storm rain for around twenty minutes and water got inside the phone, drowning the component, provoking at first damage on the screen (and so I had to bring my phone to a repair shop in urgency, as I needed my phone to show my plane ticket to the airport the day later) and later causing the death of the motherboard, as water seems to have lingered on it and provoked its destruction when I charged my phone.
Can't talk about other phones, but I still use Zenfone 5 and in my case, yes, I did operate it on a phone call outside during a serious storm. Beside the screen not being responsive while wet, the phone worked (and still works) greatly. Not to mention I had it in my jeans pocket dozen of times while going through rain (even storms) and it worked after with no problems. I can't tell however about those new models, but my guess would be yes, since are IP68 (for example, mine is not IP68 and I used it outside during a storm)
@@Alex-co5co Thank you for your answer ! I still wait for more answers regarding that unknown element of the Zenfone 11 Ultra to be sure on what phone to buy but thank you very much for your detailled answer !
They should have toned down the refreshrate to 120 fps but with better screen than 1080p resolution to match its size. Also i can't beleive that the ROG phone 8 pro loses on volume of speakers against their zenfone 11 ultra
Once I bought an Asus Transformer Pad tf101g and it turned out to have broken pixels, fortunately it was immediately replaced. A few years later, I bought an Asus Zenphone 5z and it also turned out to have broken pixels, but this time there was no replacement and I returned the money)
high end phones are all pretty similar specs wise these days,which is why I think it would come down to software most of the time for people who are looking to buy a phone in this price range. However , I haven't seen people consodering (or even being recommended) a zenfone or an rog phone in years and gaming phones are not that special using the same processor and sometimes lose out on other hardware like cameras. I think the only few people buying this phone are reviewers or people who reaaly need a headphone jack or don't like dongles
ASUS phones are the best in the Universe. The ASUS ZenUI is everything. I still have my Zenfone Max Pro M2 and Zenfone 4 Max working perfectly fine even all those years.
The design is TERRIBLE. It looks like an entry level unbranded phone what the hell are they thinking. I hope it looks better in person but on pictures it just looks cheap and old.
I have already Z8and Z9 but I'm not going to buy anymore,when you can't unlock bootloader to keep a phone for longer.This Z11 is definitely for different type of customers.Good luck z11
Im sad they went big but in Australia at least the Zenfone 10 was overpriced at $1299, only $100 less than the S23. If they had price pointed it around the $899 mark it would have sold like hot cakes!
The Zenfone 11 Ultra ultra ugly camera bump should be removed. I wish Asus use a similar design for the Zenfone 11 Ultra with the Zenfone 10, especially the camera module and the back bady. Still, it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Why we cant get flip camera phone again? Miss full screen display with no hole, or even fingerprint under display. Just make the display perfect beautiful as it is.

Why is it out so soon after the 10? Not even a full year

A bit?... Maybe that's how many seconds of thought they put before making it(a bit)
People really only complaining about It's looks and big size. Both trivial issues for me so I'm gonna get it 👍

I wish someone will bring a flat back design instead of these ridiculously thicc camera hump. Just look at that beast on this one.

I saw pixel 9 leaks it is perfect phone, if they only have sd card slot. But for no waiting on pixel 9 pro
Does anyone know if it is compatible with visible in the USA? Thanks in advance
Yes it is
The design is TERRIBLE. It looks like an entry level unbranded phone what the hell are they thinking. I hope it looks better in person but on pictures it just looks cheap and old.
This phone is DOA with this price and short period of software updates.
No supplied power adaptor BS again.
One biggest flaw of this phone is its design. The software is pretty good.
I have already Z8and Z9 but I'm not going to buy anymore,when you can't unlock bootloader to keep a phone for longer.This Z11 is definitely for different type of customers.Good luck z11
Worth noting that if you want to boycott Chinese products this is one of the few options.
Nahh why would you boycott a Chinese product
Almost everything is made in China end up buying nothing.
Its seldom to see flagship woth headphone jack
Im sad they went big but in Australia at least the Zenfone 10 was overpriced at $1299, only $100 less than the S23. If they had price pointed it around the $899 mark it would have sold like hot cakes!
They can't make it to 6000mah or 7000mah
The Zenfone 11 Ultra ultra ugly camera bump should be removed.
I wish Asus use a similar design for the Zenfone 11 Ultra with the Zenfone 10, especially the camera module and the back bady. Still, it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
I like Limp Bizkit as well.
Why we cant get flip camera phone again? Miss full screen display with no hole, or even fingerprint under display. Just make the display perfect beautiful as it is.
