I think you still need to read the rumours. The ASUS Zenfone sales have tanked, and last year, there was a rumour they would pull it from the market due to terrible sales. Clearly, the decline of the compact phone was one issue; instead, they made a ROG Phone without the flare and called it the Zenfone 11U. That will save money and be a last-ditch attempt to save the phone. So it was this or nothing. When Apple sells 10X more iPhone minis than the Zenfone 9 and discontinues it, it does not take much to understand why ASUS ditched the compact version.

Idk man, I've used Zenfone lineups (Zenfone 2 laser, Zenfone 5z, and Zenfone 9) and I can say that this year, they really disappoint me. It's like they don't have a special thing that distinguishes them from others. If you guys know Zenfone 6 and 7, no other manufacturers did the same as ASUS at that time. Now Zenfone 8, 9, and 10, no other manufacturers made a powerful compact phone. And then this year? If they are not doing compact phones anymore, then I really expect them to do something different this year. Then here comes this phone, just a rebrand of ROG 8 with some AI. I am really, really disappointed...

Sadly my Zenfone 9 suffered a short on the motherboard (my fault for using magnetic charging cables).. I bought the 16gb RAM 512GB storage version Zenfone 11 in black, arriving tomorrow, and I am actually rather excited for it - it might suck losing the small form factor but having a larger screen for a few years won't be so bad, seeing as I play a lot of wild rift and diablo immortal on my phone, and watch a ton of youtube, it'll be nice to have. However, I think it's pretty lame they aren't making a smaller version of the phone to continue their trend as the small form factor king in the phone market. I know ASUS doesn't have as much overhead as other larger companies to make 3 phones, but I think they could swing it.

This looks like the least enthusiastic Ultra Phone out there, literally in every department. The display resolution is pretty low, 1080p whereas even mid range 2023 and 2024 phones have switched to 1200p and Ultra phones coming with 1400p. The Camera bump looks uply and does not match with the rest of the phones, looks more like a after thought. In Camera department, yes, it does have 3 fully functional Cameras but neither of them having much of Ultra features, mid sized sensors, and just decent quality. Front Facing camera lacks 4K recording and that 2 years of update for an Ultra phone is a real bummer.

The zenfone 11 ultra should have been the rog phones, where there are different colors. Also considering how the price of the rog is similar to a Samsung S24 ultra, this would make rog a good choice since s24 ultra has different colors. Having the larger storage and ram on the rog makes it more competitive against S24 ultra. Two usb slots, headphone jack and air pressure sensors makes a nice additional for the price of 1200$ plus. Thus, the zenfone could have kept compact.
