The Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra is bigger than its predecessors, but it’s not necessarily better. It offers great battery life but fails to stand out from the crowd.

The Zenfone is everyone’s favorite small-ish Android phone, except this year, it’s not: the Zenfone has gone Ultra. Asus has adapted its gaming phone, the ROG Phone 8, into a normie phone. It’s big, heavy, and it costs $899. It’s entirely inoffensive if big phones are your thing , but after a week of testing, I’m not seeing any compelling reason to pick it over any of the other big, heavy phones already on the table.

During video recording, it smooths out bumps and movement incredibly well — and if you need proof that it’s really working, you can take a close look at the main camera lens to see it moving. There’s even a HyperSteady mode that corrects for bigger movements — violently shaking the camera back and forth just looks like moderate swaying. It crops in a lot, and you need plenty of light to use it, but it’s cool. Outside of video mode, the 11 Ultra looks pretty average.
