ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra Launching February 6: Here’s What to Expect

ASUS is gearing up to unveil the highly-anticipated Zenfone 12 Ultra next week on February 6. Ahead of the big reveal, the company has teased the device with a brief 15-second clip shared on X (formerly Twitter). The teaser offers a quick look at the phone, revealing ultra-thin bezels and a center-placed punch-hole selfie camera. Interestingly, the front design seems nearly identical to the ROG Phone 9 Pro, also made by ASUS. This isn’t surprising, as the Zenfone 12 Ultra appears to be a repurposed version of ASUS’ gaming phone—built to appeal to a broader audience.

A Standout Feature: The Return of the 3.5mm Headphone Jack

The teaser shows something rare in 2025—a man using wired 3.5mm headphones with the Zenfone 12 Ultra. ASUS remains one of the few brands still including a headphone jack, but in today’s wireless world, how much does it really matter?

Do you still care about a 3.5mm jack on a phone?

  • Yes, I would like to have the option.
  • No, I am happy using wireless earbuds/headphones with my phone.
  • I don’t care either way.

Packed with AI and Cutting-Edge Specs

ASUS is betting big on AI to make the Zenfone 12 Ultra stand out. The company promises “the full AI experience,” suggesting advanced AI-powered software features will be a major selling point.

As for hardware, here’s what we can expect:

  • Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite
  • Battery: 5,800mAh for extended usage
  • Display: 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED
  • Durability: IP68 water and dust resistance
  • Storage and RAM: Up to 512GB storage and 16GB RAM
  • Camera Setup: 50MP + 32MP + 13MP
  • Software: Ships with Android 15

While the specs are impressive, ASUS’ history with updates leaves room for concern. The ROG Phone 9 Pro only received two years of Android updates, and it’s unclear if the Zenfone 12 Ultra will fare any better.

Final Thoughts

 

The ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra seems to offer a compelling mix of features, but will it deliver enough to stand out in a crowded market? We’ll find out soon! Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the official launch on February 6.
