ASUS ZenFone 11 Ultra could launch sooner than expected

The ASUS ZenFone 11 Ultra moniker has been confirmed last month. The phone appeared over at Bluetooth SIG, with that name. Well, it seems like the ASUS ZenFone 11 Ultra could launch sooner than expected, as it just crossed yet another certification hurdle.

The ASUS ZenFone 11 Ultra could launch sooner than we thought

The phone paid a visit to Indonesia’s SDPPI authority. It appeared with the model number ASUS_AI2401_H. It was once again mentioned by name, which is the second confirmation of that particular moniker.

We don’t know much about this device at this point. We do know it will offer Bluetooth 5.4, as that was mentioned by Bluetooth SIG. Other than that, everything is based on rumors thus far.

Some rumors are suggesting this could be the same device as the ASUS ROG Phone 8 or 8 Pro. Perhaps with some tweaks. Others are saying it’s a proper new phone with a larger display.

As a reminder, the ASUS ZenFone 10 is the only flagship smartphone that ASUS launched in 2023. That device has a rather compact display at 5.9 inches. It’s the same display size the ASUS ZenFone 9 offered a year earlier.

This phone will have a large display and a flagship-grade SoC

Is ASUS getting ready to announce a new flagship smartphone with a larger display? Well, it seems like it. The thing is, the ASUS ZenFone 10 arrived back in June last year. That means we’re about 5 months away from the time ASUS is expected to announce its next-gen devices.

Considering how many certifications the ASUS ZenFone 11 Ultra popped up on thus far, its launch could arrive sooner. It remains to be seen if it will launch alongside the ASUS ZenFone 11, or will this be a completely separate launch. More information will hopefully arrive soon. We do expect it to have a considerably larger display than the ZenFone 10, and possibly include the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
