Our Verdict

Zenfone 12 Ultra vs Galaxy S25 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra wins overall due to its superior camera system, particularly the 200MP main sensor and dual telephoto lenses offering 3x and 5x optical zoom, crushing the Asus's single 32MP telephoto. Buy the Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra if you're a performance-focused gamer or content creator who values the 144Hz LTPO AMOLED display, gimbal OIS stabilization, and faster 65W charging that reaches 100% in 39 minutes. Choose the Samsung S25 Ultra if you're a professional photographer or videographer who needs the 200MP sensor, periscope 5x zoom, and Super Steady video, plus guaranteed 7 major Android upgrades versus Asus's mere 2. In UAE, the Asus at AED 5650 delivers exceptional value with premium specs at AED 349 less, but in India, the Asus at ₹78,999 is an absolute steal compared to Samsung's ₹149,999—nearly 47% cheaper for comparable performance.
