Why buy the Zenfone 12 Ultra
- Fast screen. The 6.78-inch panel can refresh up to 144Hz, which makes scrolling and gaming look smoother.
- Heavy-duty chip and memory. The Snapdragon 8 Elite pairs with 16GB of RAM, which helps with multitasking and demanding games.
- Telephoto option. The 32MP 3x lens gives you more framing choices than a phone with only a wide and an ultrawide camera.
- Protection from dust and water. The IP68 rating covers dust and water exposure better than most phones in this price band.
- Wired audio still included. The 3.5mm headphone jack suits buyers who use wired earphones, which many flagships have dropped.
