In a teaser post on X (formerly Twitter), ASUS hinted at exciting new features, including AI-powered capabilities and an enhanced mobile photography experience.
Key highlights from the teaser include:
- 4K video recording support.
- A potential focus-tracking feature for improved video capture.
While the teaser didn’t reveal additional details, fans can expect more updates and hints as the launch date approaches.
Past Rumors and Speculations
The Zenfone 12 Ultra has already made appearances on certifications such as Bluetooth SIG and the IMEI database, indicating a powerful flagship device in the making. Based on ASUS’s history, there’s speculation that the Zenfone 12 Ultra could share specs with the ROG Phone 9, which debuted in November last year.
If this proves true, the Zenfone 12 Ultra could feature:
- Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
- Up to 24GB of RAM.
- A maximum of 1TB internal storage.
This strategy echoes last year’s release of the Zenfone 11 Ultra, which was a slightly modified version of the ROG Phone 8.
A Shift in Design Philosophy
Last year, ASUS moved away from the compact design of earlier Zenfones with the Zenfone 11 Ultra. This trend seems to continue with the Zenfone 12 Ultra, as the brand focuses on delivering a premium experience in a larger form factor.
What to Expect
While full details remain under wraps, ASUS’s emphasis on AI and photography suggests the Zenfone 12 Ultra will cater to creators and tech enthusiasts looking for cutting-edge features. With its February 6 launch date confirmed, the countdown has begun for what could be ASUS’s most advanced Zenfone yet.
