A huge capacity battery and interesting Artificial Intelligence functions. This is the business card of ASUS ZenFone 11 Ultra, a mobile phone prepared to do battle against the major rivals in its segment. In this article we analyze all its details in depth.
A few years ago, the Chinese technology company ASUS began to invest heavily in the design and production of mobile phones. And the truth is that in recent times it has surprised many users with high quality models. His latest proposal, which we discuss in the following paragraphs, is a great example of this.
Design and materials
The ASUS ZenFone 11 Ultra is larger and heavier than the predecessor model, the ASUS ZenFone 10. These are not the only changes in terms of design, as we also find a different arrangement of the camera module, visually very discreet compared to other models in this segment.
On the back, the glossy finish stands out, which stands out against a matte background. It is there too the logo designed by the brand to celebrate the 30th anniversary of ASUS. The device will be available in four different colors: blue, black, gray and orange.
Speaking of the materials, The main body is made from 100% recycled aluminum. Also a high percentage of the screen contains recycled glass. The brand's sustainable commitment goes even further, since it has replaced almost all of the plastic in the packaging with recycled paper. For a high-end mobile phone, the absence of noble materials is very striking.
It should also be noted that this device has IP68 protection against dust and splashes of water.
Screen and sound
This Zenfone 11 Ultra has an AMOLED screen of generous dimensions (6,78 inches diagonal), with FHD+ resolution, maximum brightness of 2.500 nits and a protection panel Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
To be placed at the same height as the screens of the best high-end mobile phones, LPTO technology has been applied to it to be able to withstand a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz. Ideal for those who frequently use their mobile phone to play. In any case, the rate can be adjusted for better energy efficiency.
In the section It is worth mentioning the presence of much larger stereo speakers than in the previous model. Also the support aptX Adaptive and surround sound Virtuo Dirac for headphones. A curious fact is that the mobile has a 3,5mm headphone jack, an element that big brands are gradually leaving aside.
Performance and battery
This mobile is another one of those that joins the club of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3, the most powerful Android processor today. In this case, it works accompanied by 8 GB and 16 GB of RAM, as well as 256 GB and 512 GB of internal storage.
We have already seen the virtues of this chip in other high-end mobile phones: greater speed and fluidity when performing any task, whether long gaming sessions or running several applications at the same time. Special mention for the advanced ones artificial intelligence functions implemented on this mobile, such as the possibility of creating custom wallpapers (AI Wallpaper), speech to text conversion (AI Transcript) or instant translation during calls (AI Call Translate), among other.
Another highlight is the battery capacity, which reaches 5.500 mAh. Above average. According to the manufacturer, it is more durable than the previous model and promises an autonomy of around 26 hours. Apart from this, it has a 65W fast charging system and a 15W wireless option.
Photo camera
Artificial Intelligence has also reached the photographic equipment of the ASUS ZenFone 11 Ultra to place this mobile phone as one of the best in this specific section.
The rear camera consists of three sensors. He main, 50 MP It has a Super HyperSteady stabilization system and, for video, 3D surround sound equipped with OZO Audio technology. On the other hand, we have a 13M ultra wide angle or with a 32 MP telephoto lens Equipped with a 3X optical zoom assisted by AI.
Mode AI Portrait Video manages to raise the quality of our videos to new levels. It can be used to add a depth of field effect or improve the definition of zoom captures. On the other hand, you have the possibility of using the function AI Object Sense to give our images a high degree of realism, if that is what we want.
