Exciting Reveal: Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra Launching Soon
Asus is set to unveil the Zenfone 12 Ultra on February 6, marking an earlier release than its predecessor by over a month.
A Glimpse at Performance: Geekbench Results Released
The upcoming non-gaming flagship smartphone for 2025 has already been spotted on Geekbench. This prototype is registered under the model number “ASUSAI2501H,” which was confirmed through prior listings in an IMEI database, linking it directly to the Zenfone 12 Ultra.
The benchmarking results suggest that the Zenfone 12 Ultra achieved a single-core score of 3,036 and a multi-core score of 9,656. These figures align well with expected performance metrics from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is anticipated to power this new model.
Specifications Highlight: Memory and Operating System
This benchmark prototype features an impressive configuration with 16GB of RAM; however, it’s feasible that more memory options may be introduced (notably, last year’s base model—Zenfone 11 Ultra—started at 12GB). The device operates on Android 15, as one would expect from a premier device launching in early 2025.
Comparative Analysis: Similarities with Previous Models
Diving into design lineage, the previous year’s Zenfone 11 Ultra closely resembled the ROG Phone 8 Pro without its gaming characteristics. This year could see similar parallels where the Zenfone 12 Ultra might derive its features from ROG Phone 9 Pro, albeit without any flashy LEDs on its rear casing.

Anticipated Upgrades: Battery Life Enhancement
If this trend continues, apart from improvements in chipset technology, one notable upgrade will likely be found in battery capacity—a substantial increase to 5,800 mAh, surpassing last year’s model by approximately 300 mAh. Beyond this enhancement and processing power boosts—details remain speculative as we await further announcements.
