iPhone 17 Pro vs Zenfone 12 Ultra

The iPhone 17 Pro wins overall due to its superior camera system featuring a 48MP periscope telephoto with 4x optical zoom and advanced computational photography that outperforms the Zenfone's 32MP telephoto. Professional photographers and content creators should choose the iPhone 17 Pro for its exceptional low-light performance, 3D LiDAR scanner, and industry-standard color grading through Dolby Vision support. Budget-conscious gamers and everyday users should pick the Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra, which offers a larger 6.78-inch 144Hz display, faster 65W charging reaching full battery in 39 minutes, and the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor at a more accessible price point. The Zenfone 12 Ultra delivers superior value in India at just 78999 rupees versus the iPhone's 179900, offering nearly identical performance with faster charging and a bigger screen for under half the price.
