ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra Leak: A Trimmed-Down ROG Phone 9 Pro

A recent leak from a German website reveals exciting details about the upcoming ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra. This phone is essentially a streamlined version of the ROG Phone 9 Pro, a gaming phone that launched globally in November 2024. While both devices come from ASUS, the Zenfone 12 Ultra is expected to cater to a broader audience, offering flagship-level specs without the full gaming focus.

Design and Battery Changes

One of the key differences between the Zenfone 12 Ultra and the ROG Phone 9 Pro is the design. The Zenfone 12 Ultra opts for a more refined, less bulky look, making it sleeker and more suited for everyday use. The ROG Phone 9 Pro, on the other hand, embraces a more gaming-centric design.

Additionally, the Zenfone 12 Ultra comes with a smaller battery compared to the ROG Phone 9 Pro. However, it’s still expected to pack a substantial power reserve to keep you going through the day.

Camera Setup: High-End Sensors with a Sleek Look

The Zenfone 12 Ultra’s camera system will be similar to that of the ROG Phone 9 Pro, though the camera island itself differs slightly in design. Expect a 50MP main sensor, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 32MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. This impressive setup allows the Zenfone 12 Ultra to compete with flagship phones in the camera department. Additionally, it includes a 32MP selfie camera for stunning self-portraits.

Interestingly, despite its high-end features, the Zenfone 12 Ultra maintains the 3.5mm headphone jack, even though it boasts an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
