Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra Rumor

The Zenfone series from Asus was quite popular for its compact design, but with the launch of the Zenfone 11 Ultra, it kind of lost its charm as just another big Android.

Looks like the brand has no plans on going back with an official tease revealing the existence of a ‘Zenfone 12 Ultra’. Although we don’t know any other information about the series as a whole, it’s safe to assume that we won’t get a small phone this time either.

Performance

Moreover, the Zenfone 12 Ultra recently appeared on Geekbench, revealing that the device will likely feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 16GB of RAM. The phone will run on Android 15 with ZenUI on top. Additionally, Asus will integrate advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) features into the device. However, we are not sure what exactly these features are yet.
