What I have in my hands is the latest Zenfone 11 Ultra from ASUS. It is also the first product of ASUS to launch a large-screen mobile phone in the Zenfone series since the Zenfone 8 Flip . Seriously! Before getting the actual Zenfone 11 Ultra machine, I had a lot of imagination and OS reasons. The reason is that the Zenfone 11 Ultra is obviously its brother model, so there is no need to worry too much about the performance of the Zenfone 11 Ultra in many aspects. It is like the new one this year. The brightness, color gamut, and color accuracy of the screen are all in the first echelon of flagships. It goes without saying that the flagship mobile phone launched by ASUS is definitely more active in performance release among its peers . Plus this year’s 8 Gen 3 And it’s really strong so for me my biggest question about the Zenfone 11 Ultra is hey! How much do you want to sell Asus for? Why do I say this? Let’s take a look at ASUS’s current product line and look at ASUS’s top gaming flagship ROG Phone 8 Pro. The starting price is about 35,900 and goes all the way up to 45,900 depending on the version. The previous generation Zenfone 10 is the cheapest. The highest price of 19990 is only 25900. In the current year, flagship machines priced under 20000 are really rarer than Japanese-made compressors. There are a few flagships that still maintain the CP value orientation . But everyone does not think that 19990 to 35990 are based on 3C products. It feels like something is missing in the middle of the routine . So the existence of Zenfone 11 Ultra is not surprising and I am happy to see it. After all, the ASUS Zenfone series has really not responded to the market’s expectations for large-screen phones for a long time. At the same time, I think the most important thing is the price. I don’t know yet, but as long as the price is good, the Zenfone 11 Ultra will transform from a brother phone to an ASUS fragrance phone . Finally, a friend who likes to hold mobile phones with one hand will know what I am talking about. Maybe there will be surprises this year? ? At least ASUS didn't say anything about the Zenfone 11 Ultra , and it was previously rumored that Zenfone 11 will get major changes this year. So
at least I will continue to look forward to it. So it seems that this phone is called Zenfone 11 Ultra . Doesn't everything make sense? ? At the same time, ASUS has also added many new AI functions to Zenfone 11 Ultra, which we will look at in detail later! In this episode, the Bonnie team tried their best to test the performance that everyone wants to know. Let’s take a look at the actual performance ~ First of all , let’s start with the appearance. The one I have is the Zenfone 11 Ultra this time. There are a total of four colors this time, and we have gathered them all to see clearly. The main visual feature of Zenfone 11 Ultra this time is through the glossy and matte coating partitions on the back cover. You can vaguely see the products from our Zenbook series on the surface. The geometric 30th anniversary commemorative A-shaped logo on the same model of the notebook is still Zenfone’s consistent simple, generous and dynamic image in design. In terms of color selection, this year there are a total of four colors: eternal black, morning indigo, mist gray, and coral pink . Among them, I think I like this year’s black the best in terms of texture. The first reason is that this year’s black is really, really black. When viewed from the front , when there is no light , it looks like a simple and low-key black phone. When viewed from the side, the texture of the matte glass and the outline of the A-line lines make the style more neat and integrated. It is also the best among the four colors this time. However, it is still a bit surprising that the back cover of the Zenfone 11 Ultra has been changed this year. The glass material does not carry over the well-received back cover of Zenfone 9 and 10. But on the plus side, the heat dissipation performance of glass will be better. In the body configuration, all buttons are on the right side . The Zenfone series does not have game buttons , but they are also retained at the bottom. The black technology of 2024. The 3.5mm headphone jack card slot also adopts a double-sided dual SIM card design at the bottom of the fuselage . There is no MicroSD card slot. The charging hole is on the left side of the bottom, so it is recommended to hold the phone screen to the right to avoid getting stuck. Then we found a small place. I believe this is not the original intention of ASUS's design . However, this raised camera module was originally thought to be difficult to hold. However, if you hold it like me, it will have a handle-like effect than expected. It feels better. We also specially tested the 30-minute lens area of Genshin Impact, which is only 34 degrees, so there will be no feeling of heat. Zenfone 11 Ultra also continues the IP68 dustproof and waterproof that is a must-have for previous Zenfone flagships. We also have it here. The actual measured weight is 225g, which is about 3-4g lighter than the ROG Phone 8 series, so the overall hand feel is about the same. Although it is a large-screen phone , because ASUS has a curved edge on the back cover, the edge feels smoother to hold . In terms of box packaging, this year we followed the design of environmentally friendly boxes. In addition to using recycled paper materials in the packaging , this year there is no charging head included in the box. However, there is a tradition of C to C transmission line and included protective case. Save it for
the sake of viewing the appearance . Let’s look at the audio-visual entertainment first. This time, ASUS has put a new screen on the Zenfone 11 Ultra. The front is covered with the latest Corning Gorilla Victus 2 glass. The screen specifications use E6 luminescent material customized with Samsung. The 6.78-inch Full HD+ Flexible AMOLED screen can turn on a high screen refresh rate of up to 144Hz in games , and the system supports LTPO automatic refresh rate adjustment of 1-120Hz. You can also see 120Hz 60Hz and automatic three in the settings menu. Under the automatic gear selection, you can see that the system will operate at 120Hz when you slide. When your finger leaves the screen for a few seconds, the system will automatically drop to 1Hz. When your finger slides, the system will operate at 120Hz. Jump back to 120Hz under AOD. If there is still picture movement, the system will be 30Hz. If it is completely still, it can be reduced to 1Hz to achieve power saving. However, in our actual measurement, YouTube in the automatic gear will be directly locked at 60Hz, and currently it will not be based on 24FPS. , 30FPS or 60FPS video automatically corresponds to an update rate of 60Hz throughout the process. ASUS feels that it can be adjusted again, at least when sliding the interface, it can return to 120Hz, which will make the experience smoother. In addition, the update rate is currently built-in in the developer options. The display seems a bit delayed It will not jump back to 120Hz immediately when it hits, but it has no impact on the experience of ordinary users. Currently, I directly choose the full 120Hz mode because even if I choose 120Hz, it will still drop to 24Hz when stationary , which can achieve power saving AOD. Jump to 1Hz , but YouTube can run at 120Hz throughout. The key point is that Zenfone 11 Ultra has a large 5500mAh battery, so why not worry about running it at 120Hz at all times? The best thing is that in terms of biometric security identification, this time Zenfone 11 Ultra supports both facial and under-screen fingerprint recognition. The unlocking speed is very fast and the fingerprint is placed in the upper middle position, which is a good review. The screen brightness is the focus of this improvement. Bonnie also directly measured that the brightness of the Zenfone 10 can reach 1730 nits under strong light and full white. It is only about 800 nits. The peak brightness of 10% of the display area can reach 2577 nits. The top performance of the previous generation was only 1000 nits . You should be able to feel this improvement . We also triggered the peak brightness to indeed reach 2734 nits or even It exceeds the 2500 nits marked by ASUS. The brightness performance of ASUS's screen is really strong , and this screen also achieves the same visual width on all four sides. The three sides are 1.6mm, and the bottom is about 2.2mm . In fact, it is difficult to see if you don't look carefully. I found that it is quite comfortable in terms of appearance. At least it is not thick and big. Next, let’s measure the color gamut and color accuracy in detail. In terms of color rendering performance, Zenfone 11 Ultra provides four modes: Best, Natural, Theater, and Standard. All of them here. All display modes have been tested and let’s get straight to the point. If you are pursuing color accuracy, then choose the standard mode between the standard and cinema modes. The corresponding sRGB display mode will have the color gamut range limited to 98.99% below sRGB. The color gamut coverage and color accuracy are also very eye-catching. Delta E is only 0.5. This number is less than 2, which means the color accuracy is accurate enough. 0.5 means very good. In theater mode , it corresponds to P3, which has a color gamut of 98.5% and P3 coverage and Delta E. E only has a 0.2 color gamut color accuracy compared to the other two modes. Judging from the results, the best mode adjustment is to follow the P3 color gamut , but CCT prefers the eye-catching cool white to 7600K CCT Delta E. 10.8 and the natural mode is completely regardless of the standard. How big the support can be. At this time, the color rendering is the most vivid, but the Delta E is also around 10.7. If you don’t care about color accuracy and just want the maximum native performance of the screen , then this is the option. Then we will go directly to it. The performance test that everyone is looking forward to. The Zenfone 11 Ultra in the hands of Bonnie team is equipped with the new generation of Qualcomm's well-reviewed flagship processor Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is manufactured by TSMC and is paired with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.0 storage space . For a balanced flagship, this specification is also full of points. There is also a major focus of this generation. With the rapid development of mobile phone SoC NPU in recent years, offline computing of mobile phone AI has become possible. ASUS also brought 7 AI models on Zenfone 11 Ultra. The apps are also specially optimized for Traditional Chinese. First of all, the first one is the recording app. ASUS has added the AI recording and note-taking function. When you are recording, just select the convert to text option, and AI will automatically convert the speech into traditional Chinese text. Chinese is also available! According to ASUS instructions, the system will automatically integrate the breakpoints of the recording content and then directly update the entire paragraph without displaying it on the screen sentence by sentence. After you complete the recording, you can directly see the recognized text in the recording list . You can also You can click on the paragraph you want and the system will automatically jump to the recording seconds corresponding to that paragraph. In the upper left corner, there is a function to generate a summary. AI will help you organize the key points in the recording into a short text narrative. However, if your content If the AI is too short , it will not be able to help you sort out the summary. However, please note that *the commercial version needs to be updated through OTA before it can be used. The AI function is still in the final stage of improvement *the commercial version needs to be updated through OTA before it can be used, so we The test is still an experience version * The commercial version needs to be updated through OTA before it can be used. The subsequent official version will be updated to the commercial version through OTA. The second AI ASUS has done a good job in the call function, in addition to enabling AI voice reduction. In addition to noise, AI real-time call interpretation is also added this time, which is also quite fun. Here is a direct demonstration. When you start a call, you can see a call translation option in the lower right corner . After entering, the system will first play an explanation. Tell the other party that you are currently on a translation call. When you speak Chinese at this time, for example, I say: I want to make a reservation at the restaurant tonight. When will the restaurant be available? The system will automatically translate the Chinese you speak into English and speak to the other party, and the English reply spoken by the other party will also be converted into Chinese and spoken to you. However, there is still room for improvement in the accuracy of Chinese-English translation, as I said here. What is the position of several points is translated into how many dots (?) What is special is that the ASUS AI call translator will not hear your original voice during the entire process , but you will not hear the original voice of the other party. The entire process is AI voice. After the communication is completed, the original text of the entire conversation between the two parties and the translated result will be displayed on the screen. I think the advantage of playing now is that the translation and my voice are less likely to overlap , but the original voice is relatively unheard. The emotional feeling is right. This built-in call and the three communication software on the screen can also support the call recording function. Another interesting thing is that ASUS is called AI real-time call interpretation, which means that you can directly enter text to make a call. You can complete the call by typing , and if you select Traditional Chinese for both your language and the other party's language, you can also do Text Call , which is a pure text call function. ASUS should also be Taiwan's first AI call that supports Traditional Chinese. Asus , the fourth AI in mobile phones, has made AI wallpapers. Now when you change the wallpaper, the system will pop up the AI smart wallpaper option. Click in and you can choose the theme you like. For example, choose science fiction and then choose your favorite background . Choose this. Then I chose the color, I chose bright, and finally I chose the inspiration. There are several shapes and even the ASUS Monogram logo. For the first time, you need to download an AI package of about 3GB. Then it starts to generate . The system will generate one AI wallpaper for you at a time. Then click Apply and finally it is successful. An AI ASUS does in search is officially called AI search assistant , such as photo smart quick search You can directly enter the time, location, and the content of the scene you want to find, and the AI will directly help you find matching photos. Similarly , smart search can also be done in the system settings and App search on the desktop . For example, when you type Social, Facebook will pop up. , Instagram, etc. There is no need to explicitly type out Facebook. It is also easier to forget the name of the App or to find a certain function in the settings. There are also two camera-related AIs that will be introduced together in the following camera paragraphs. After talking about AI, let’s continue. When testing the performance, in the performance mode, the system provides four options: high performance, dynamic performance, long battery life and ultra-long battery life. During the game, you can also slide from the side to the middle to open the game wizard control center. Here you can quickly By adjusting the performance profile, you can also adjust the screen refresh rate to a maximum of 144Hz. Although AI game-related functions are currently exclusive to ROG, they include turning on anti-accidental touches, blocking notifications, and incoming calls. The best part is that Zenfone 11 Ultra also supports bypass. Charging can directly supply power to the motherboard , so there will be no heat generated by the battery. In terms of actual performance, we will test it in detail. First , I will show you the basic performance test. Anyway, it is the current top performance. You can easily take a look at it first. In terms of CPU performance, Zenfone 11 Ultra's multi-core release on Geekbench 5 seems to be a bit conservative at present. It scored 1700 single-core and 5659 multi-core points . This multi-core performance has obviously not been released. However, if you see the performance of Geekbench 6, it will be much more normal. The single-core score is 5659 points. 2319 points for multi-core and 7220 points for multi-core . We also directly compared it with 8 Gen 2. The single-core improvement reached 14% , and the multi-core gap reached 25.5%, which almost fully released the potential of 8 Gen 3. In the GPU part, Bonnie also directly measured 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Zenfone 11 Ultra scored 5228 points. Compared with the previous generation 8 Gen 2, the GPU has increased by 41.7% . Compared with the 8+ Gen 1 used in the previous generation Zenfone 9, the improvement is even greater. It reached 86% this year. The 8 Gen 3 GPU is really powerful in theory. The key point is that we quickly passed it through actual combat! Okay,
let’s go directly to the actual performance phase! This year, in order to reduce the impact of ambient temperature on test results, Bonny tried its best to control the indoor temperature at about 26 degrees for all tests. We did not test PUBG M. For Zenfone 11 Ultra, we directly entered the performance test software Genshin Impact without any pressure. The test this time was also about half an hour of continuous playing of Genshin Impact. First, I measured the dynamic performance mode. After 30 minutes of continuous play at the highest quality, the average frame rate fell to 53.4FPS . However, you can see from the frame rate chart that ASUS intentionally stabilizes the frame. The average of 53.4FPS is not a result of fluctuations. The first 9 minutes and 12 seconds can be stable at 60FPS . As the temperature rises in a straight line, after 21 minutes, Zenfone 11 Ultra is stable at 50FPS . There are a few attempts to return to 60 but soon it returns to 60FPS. Touching the temperature wall returns to 50FPS , but the concept of a 50FPS line is very simple . You will not feel the sudden lag of the game. The experience is smooth all the way . The experience is much better than constantly jumping up and down. The point is that the temperature performance is very good . Both sides are only 40. The adjustment strategy is the same , and the power consumption control at this time is also very good. The average is only 5W, and the front and back sides are controlled at 41-42. After all , the game experience of Zenfone 11 Ultra is from the perspective of a balanced flagship, which is also the performance of the previous period. Next, let’s change the game to test the crash. After 30 minutes, we directly test the highest performance gear, and you can see the crash. The load is really high. The average frame rate falls below 50FPS. The first six minutes can be a stable 60FPS. From 6 minutes to 22 minutes and 24 seconds, the performance can be roughly stable at around 50FPS. However, there is a more obvious frame drop after that. Actual measurement The temperatures on both sides fell around 42. Finally, let’s take a look at the 3DMark 20-round stress test, which directly measured the high-efficiency mode stability to 82.4%. At this time, the temperature was really super hot. The 8 Gen 3 GPU is really not easy to mess with at this time. Both the front and back sides of the fuselage reach about 50 degrees, which is very impressive . However, this also makes the lowest score of Zenfone 11 Ultra after overheating and underclocking already higher than the 66% of the previous generation 8 Gen 2. That is, after underclocking, it is still higher than the 8 Gen 2. The optimal state is 1.66 times, and you will know how much performance ASUS has squeezed out. In terms of battery life, ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra is equipped with a 5500mAh battery. Bonnie actually measured that it can reach 15 hours and 25 minutes in 120Hz mode, benefiting from the 5500mAh large battery plus 8 Gen 3 has very good energy consumption and the latest LTPO screen. The battery life is really nothing to say. Compared with the previous generation small flagship Zenfone 10, which was 10 hours and 42 minutes, the performance is about 44% better. It really has big benefits in the charging part. Zenfone 11 Ultra also supports up to 65W fast charging and 15W Qi wireless charging. We actually measured that under 65W wired charging, it can be charged to 43% in 15 minutes and 78% in half an hour (slip of the tongue). A full charge takes about 45 minutes and 57 seconds. It can be fully charged in minutes . Finally, in the ecosystem, ASUS already has GlideX mobile link. Through this App, you can simultaneously display the screen on your phone on any Windows laptop, transfer files , and even share the camera screen of your phone to your phone. At the same time, Zenfone 11 Ultra also supports the built-in Phone Link function of Windows, which can make calls on the computer, send and receive text messages, synchronize notifications on the phone, etc. Finally, one of the key points of Zenfone 11 Ultra is that the camera performance changes with the phone. The body size has become larger. Zenfone 11 Ultra is equipped with a three-lens configuration using a main lens, ultra-wide angle and 3X telephoto. The main lens uses a 1/1.56-inch 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 sensor and also uses ASUS. The flagship six-axis anti-shake Hybrid gimbal has also been upgraded to version 3.0. From the screen, you can see that the anti-shake displacement range of plus or minus 3 degrees is really very large. You can also turn on the gimbal prompt in the settings. A small white circle will appear on the interface. Just make sure that the point in the middle does not exceed the circle . It is within the range where the anti-shake correction can be held. In addition, it benefits from the NPU Zenfone 11 Ultra. It also continues the Zenfone 10 AI image optimization function, that is, the system will automatically identify objects on the screen such as people, sky, and buildings and then apply the corresponding algorithm to optimize the shooting effect. It is also supported by Zenfone 11 Ultra in the software. The function of Adaptive EIS in Chinese is called smart anti-shake. Simply put, the system will sense the shaking amplitude through the gyroscope. When you shake violently, the system will automatically increase the cropping level to the maximum to keep the picture stable. When the shaking becomes smaller, It will smoothly reduce the cropping range and make the picture wider. What is special is that this year ASUS has also strengthened the super anti-shake algorithm, which means that through super large cropping, it can be stabilized even if it shakes violently. However, in this mode You can only choose FHD 60FPS at the highest level. I recommend that you turn it on only if you have extreme shaking scenes to capture better results. Otherwise, smart anti-shake is obviously a smarter and easier-to-use solution. You can also record up to 4K 60FPS specifications , and then the other two. The two lenses are a 1/3-inch OV13B 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. This ultra-wide-angle lens is also quite special and uses a free-form surface design that can reduce edge deformation. The telephoto lens is an OV 1/3-inch 32-megapixel 3X optical telephoto lens. It provides up to 30x digital zoom , but the system will automatically four-in-one. The final output is an 8-megapixel telephoto photo. Although the Sensor is not particularly large , this 3X telephoto camera also has OIS and optical anti-shake, which is much more usable. It is worth mentioning that only the main lens of this generation still supports 4K 60FPS shooting, which can shoot up to 8K 24FPS, ultra-wide angle up to 4K 30FPS , telephoto up to FHD 60, and selfie lens up to FHD 30FPS . Asus has also added new features in this generation. AI portrait recording driven by AI algorithm, that is, AI will instantly separate the subject from the background and blur the background to achieve the effect of real-time depth of field calculation. Currently, it can record up to 4K 30FPS specifications. You can see that when the system captures the subject, the preview will Below the white frame is shown , a real-shot sample is provided for your reference. I would also like to add that the bokeh effect is calculated at the moment of shooting and cannot be adjusted afterwards . In addition, there is an AI. ASUS has also upgraded the light track mode, so you can directly see through it. The special thing about shooting car tracks, light tracks, etc. by handheld is that now fireworks can also be used. AI will automatically complete the overlay and exposure correction . In terms of actual photo effects, how is the performance? Below, Bonnie also directly provides real-shot samples for your reference. In addition ASUS also explained that they have added a set of AI telephoto algorithms called ultra-clear zoom. With the support of AI, this 3X optical telephoto lens can also achieve a lossless effect close to 10X. Samples are also provided below for your reference. In addition, this The selfie lens this time uses a 32 million RGBW Sensor. The added W, that is, the white pixels, also helps in the amount of light entering in low light. This lens can also shoot a 90-degree wide-angle picture. It is also more practical for multi-person selfies. Here are a few Group selfie sample for your reference: Finally, we provide a 4K 60FPS sample for your reference . Let’s go here first. We also try our best to bring as many actual tests as possible in the limited time in this episode. I hope you all enjoy watching it.
