EDITORIAL: Asus has added this Zenfone Ultra in 2024 and in 2025 they put away itâs more compact (and more interesting) smaller model. So it looks like they gave up on the âcompact phoneâ idea and are turning towards more crowded and stiffer competition space. This, first Ultra of theirs was a good effort. (It you can still find it)
EDITORIAL: The craftmeship and Japanese engineering shine her with great build, narrow 21:9 body that allows easy one-hand use and scrolling down long pages.
