Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra Geekbench Listing

First spotted by 91Mobiles, the Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra has allegedly been listed on Geekbench with the model number ASUSAI2501H. It is said to be powered by an octa-core chipset with an ARMv8 architecture comprising six cores operating at 3.53GHz and two cores capped at 4.32GHz. This core configuration strongly hints towards the inclusion of the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.

The chipset may be paired with approximately 14.74GB of RAM, likely to be translated to 16GB of RAM, and the motherboard has “sun” as its identifier.

In the Geekbench 6.3.0 for Android AArch64 cross-platform benchmark, the upcoming Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra had 3,036 and 9,656 single and multi-core scores, respectively. It is said to run on Android 15 and may adopt the company’s ZenUI skin.

While no details about the Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra have been officially announced, the Taiwanese smartphone maker has teased that it will integrate artificial intelligence (AI) features in the imaging and editing experience to offer “a new era of mobile photography excellence” to users.

Reports suggest it may have similar features as the ROG Phone 9 and could even be a rebranded version of that phone with slight tweaks. It is speculated to sport a triple rear camera setup, comprising a 1/1.56-inch 50-megapixel Sony LYTIA 700 primary camera, a 13-megapixel ultra wide-angle shooter and a 5-megapixel macro lens. The Zenfone 12 Ultra may also feature a 32-megapixel selfie camera.
