For the past three years, if you wanted a small Android phone, your only option was the Zenfone series from Taiwanese tech brand Asus. Every other phonemaker has thrown in the towel on small phones, including Apple, which killed off its iPhone Mini series after just two years. The general consensus from phones brands is that consumers want larger screens.
I don’t mind at all. As I’ve said in almost every review of small phones, I am fully on board the large screen bandwagon. I do too many things on my phone to opt for a small display. And so when I picked up the Zenfone 11 Ultra for the first time, I liked what I saw.The Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra appears to be a continuation of the company’s ROG Phone than the Zenfone series.
I am happy to see there’s a 32-megapixel telephoto zoom lens, which has been missing from previous Zenfones. The zoom lens is solid, producing crisp 3X shots with a bit of bokeh. An ultra-wide shooter rounds out the camera package, and it’s also a capable shooter.Ben SinElsewhere, I think the phone has tremendous haptics and speakers, as well as a very good battery life thanks to a gigantic 5,500mAh battery — three traits clearly carried over from the ROG gaming phones.
