In a recent poll<\/a>, the Asus ROG Phone 8\/8 Pro proved to be a potentially very popular model if it could clear one hurdle \u2013 the $1,100\/\u20ac1,100 price was too high (it was even worse for the Pro, $1,200\/\u20ac1,200\/\u20b995,000).<\/p>\n

What if the ROG Phone 8 was cheaper? Wish granted \u2013 just not the way you may have thought. This week the company unveiled the Zenfone 11 Ultra<\/a>, its first large Zenfone since 2021\u2019s Zenfone 8 Flip. This means a larger display, larger battery and (incidentally) an additional camera (the first tele module since the Flip).<\/p>\n

The same 12\/256GB configuration that costs \u20ac1,100 on a ROG phone is available for \u20ac1,000\/\u00a3870 on the Zenfone. And Asus has a \u20ac100 discount for early birds, which you can still get as the phone goes on sale in mid-April. There is a 16\/512GB version too with a \u20ac1,000\/\u00a3950 base price.<\/p>\n

The Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra<\/a> is essentially an ROG Phone 8 with muted branding \u2013 more muted we should say, as Asus was already dialing back the \u201cgaming phone\u201d aesthetic with the 8-series and making it something that will have mass appeal.<\/p>\n

\nAsus Zenfone 11 Ultra: 6.78\u201d 1-144Hz LTPO AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Comparing<\/a> the two models reveals only minor differences \u2013 the 6.78\u201d LTPO AMOLED display runs at 144Hz instead of 165Hz and lacks 10-bit colors. Also, the trademark second USB port that the ROG model has is dropped to save on cost. The RGB-illuminated ROG logo on the back and the pressure sensitive triggers on the side are gone too \u2013 this isn\u2019t a gaming phone, you know.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s it \u2013 you still get a large, fast display, the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a large 5,5000mAh battery with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging, along with goodies like stereo speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Compared to the previous Zenfone 10, this one also has a 32MP tele camera with a 65mm lens (3x), but Asus didn\u2019t see fit to also equip a microSD slot. At least it left the IP68 dust and water resistance intact.<\/p>\n
