Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra
76.8mm (3.02in) · Mar 2024 · Rank #149
7+14+15+12+9+3+3+0+3+0 = 66

EDITORIAL: Asus has added this Zenfone Ultra in 2024 and in 2025 they put away it’s more compact (and more interesting) smaller model. So it looks like they gave up on the “compact phone” 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)

PROs
good SD 8 Gen 3 performance, great 2-day battery endurance with fast (40 minute to 100%) charging, bright 144Hz refresh rate screen, IP68 water protection.
CONs
76.8mm & 228gr size, not-so-Ultra-photo and video performance, no expandable storage, no desktop replacement software and just two years of OS updates policy. (updated Apr 2, 2025)

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of battery, screen and imaging performance) Vivo took a bit longer then their usual 6 months to produce an upgrade of excellent V70. This time, the chip and cameras are the same, battery got a 700mAh boost, screen is 144Hz (from 120Hz) but a significant change is in memory: it tops at 8GB (was up to 12GB) and a 128GB model is introduced to throw us back to 2025 V60 times. Zeiss branded lenses should still deliver top pics among midrangers but Vivo decided to compete on price and sacrifice some quality.

PROs
attractive iPhone-Pro-copy design, good build, good SD 7 Gen 4 (4nm) with UFS 4.1 (3.1 on 128GB version) performance, >30hr endurance from a 7200mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 90W charging, >1700nits 460ppi 144Hz AMOLED screen with HDR10+, IP69 protection, very good 50MP 23mm main + 50MP 73mm periscope telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + sub-par 8MP 15mm ultrawide setup, excellent 50MP 21mm PDAF selfie, up to 4 years of stabile OriginOS updates
CONs
SD 7 Gen 4 may struggle to deliver good performance after a few OS updates, no LTPO tech and higher refresh rate deny what could have been stellar battery endurance, no AF on a below average ultrawide, average video recording, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality, slow USB-C 2.0 port (with OTG)
