The Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra arrives with a moderate design makeover, cool colors, and internals worthy of a flagship. It also has AI features which work on-device but disappoints with its software support.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-Zenfone-12-Ultra-arrives-with-a-design-refresh-and-powerful-internals-but-disappointing-software-support.957002.0.html
No more compact flagships and continued relatively poor software support span means the Zenfone is not a device I would want to consider.
I'd rather have a 6'9/7' phone. If you go big, stick with it.
It's an Asus phone. You're supposed to get rid of it in 2 to 3 years time. It has almost no resale value.
