The newest Zenfone borrows cool features from the Asus ROG gaming phone line like fast charging and wired headphone support -- but it's not coming to the US.

ASUS phones have always piqued my interest partly because I’m a fan of ASUS products, but this would be my first time testing a Zenfone device. We did review the Zenfone 11 Ultra last year, but that was handled by another person on the team.

The new model upgrades to a Snapdragon 8 Elite and improves the gimbal stabilization in the main camera, but still only promises 2 OS updates.
