The Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra 512GB is ASUS's 2025 smartphone featuring a 6.78 inches, 111.0 cm2 (~88.0% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8750-AB Snapdragon 8 Elite (3 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5500 mAh battery. At AED 5,650 in the UAE and ₹78,999 in India, it sits firmly in the flagship tier.
The Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra 512GB excels with its 2500-nit peak brightness display, ensuring outdoor visibility unmatched by most flagships, and its 65W wired charging delivers 100% in 39 minutes—faster than most rivals. The 50MP main sensor with gimbal OIS captures stable 4K video even while walking, a rarity at this price. Ideal for professional mobile videographers needing cinematic stabilization and high dynamic range without external gear. Its weakness? Thermals under sustained 144Hz gaming: sustained frame rates drop after 25 minutes in intensive titles due to thermal throttling. In UAE at AED 5650, it’s competitive because no other phone offers gimbal OIS and 65W charging at this price. In India at ₹78999, it’s overpriced—Samsung’s S24 Ultra delivers similar camera stability with better software support and thermal management for ₹75999, making the Zenfone a niche pick for OIS purists, not general buyers.
