Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra Is the Rare High-End Phone That Still Has a Headphone Jack

Asus revealed the Zenfone 12 Ultra on Thursday, which inherits several cool features of the Telephone Asus ROG 9 The series of playing phones and reorganize them for a general public. Like last year Zenfone 11 UltraThis means that the phone has a 6.78 -inch screen, a 65 watts quick cable load and the Elite Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 processor.

But in other respects, Asus has set the ZenFone 12 Ultra to scale from his game brother by taking charge of a refresh rate (always very smooth) 144 Hz (the ROG Phone 9 IS185Hz) and a battery Smaller of 5,500 mAh compared to the 5,800 mAh battery of the ROG. The phone will be available in three colors: Ebony Black, Sakura White and Sage Green.

The Zenfone 12 Ultra has a lot of new AI features, several Asus of which are exclusive to the new phone at the launch. These include updated editions of the AI ​​call translator, a transcription application and a portrait video. The updated call translator adds the management of third-party chat apps like WhatsApp, which should offer more flexibility beyond standard telephone calls.

There are also new features of summary of the article and Documents of the AI, as well as photo editing features to pierce a photo or erase an object or an undesirable person in the background. Many of them correspond to the features of similar AI that we regularly see on Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones, and the ZenFone 12 Ultra will also receive the Google circle to search.

The ultra zenfone 12 helmet socket to distinguish it as one of the few flagship phones of any company to support wired headphones without adapter. For video recording, Asus also updates its 6 -axis hybrid cardan stabilizer to smooth the trembling cam while taking a video – a functionality that is useful when I tested previous Asus phones in bumpy vehicles.

The price of the new Zenfone 12 Ultra was not immediately available, and this year, Asus omits the United States from the international release of the phone. I am disappointed by this, because Zenfone last year has offered many advantages focused on the ROG play phones. This includes the large screen, the powerful processor, the cardan stabilizer for video recording and this headphone jack – while offering a certain degree of deduction by offering these features at a price slightly lower than that of Asus playing phones . But Asus has always faced a difficult struggle with regard to the American market, where the public of Android phones is dominated by Samsung, according to Counterpoint Research.

This means a little less zenfone for Asus fans in the United States this year, but at least Asus Rog Phone 9 game phones include include Cool LED screens on the back to play games.
