Asus launched two phones this week – the Zenfone 12 Ultra and the ROG Phone 9 FE. It brings the new Snapdragon 8 Elite with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The new main camera uses a Sony Lytia-700 sensor instead of the IMX890. The important upgrade is the 6-axis hybrid gimbal stabilizer, now in version 4. It can correct ±5° of movement, a 66% improvement over the Zenfone 11 Ultra gimbal stabilizer (that was version 3). The phone is equipped with a 5,500mAh dual-cell battery. It supports up to 65W wired and 15W wireless charging (Qi 1.3). The Zenfone 12 Ultra launched in Europe, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, priced at €1,100.
The ROG Phone 9 FE is the first FE model in the series and it brings yesterday’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The phone was quietly launched by the brand in Thailand, where it’s available to purchase for THB 29,990.
And a lot of AI features – some of which run on-device for better privacy.
As the name implies, it’s a cheaper and slightly lower-end option in the ROG Phone 9 family.
On to the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Rumor has it, that the phone will be unveiled on February 26. We saw the phone in a hands-on video and a photo in the wild. Camera-wise, the 15 Ultra will feature a 1-inch type main camera using the Lytia LYT-900 sensor, a 200MP periscope telephoto (ISOCELL HP9), a 50 MP short-range telephoto (IMX858), and a 50 MP ultrawide (ISOCELL JN5). Its battery is slated as a 6,000mAh unit with 90W charging.
