The newest Zenfone borrows cool features from the Asus ROG gaming phone line like fast charging and wired headphone support -- but it's not coming to the US.

ASUS phones have always piqued my interest partly because I’m a fan of ASUS products, but this would be my first time testing a Zenfone device. We did review the Zenfone 11 Ultra last year, but that was handled by another person on the team.

The Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra is set to release with a triple-camera setup on the back, featuring a 50MP wide camera, a 32MP telephoto, and a 12MP ultrawide. The hole-punch camera on the front is a 32MP wide lens capable of recording up to 1080p video at 30fps, while the rear cameras can reach up to 8K at 24fps.
