Galaxy S25 Ultra vs Zenfone 12 Ultra: Sample Photos Comparison
The Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra is the newest flagship Android phone on the block, and just like the rest of them, it has the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
So there is little doubt that the Zenfone 12 Ultra is as powerful as the other Android flagships, but can it match them in camera quality?
The Galaxy S25 Ultra just recently became our top-rated camera phone (read more in our S25 Ultra camera review), so let's see if the Zenfone 12 Ultra camera can keep up.
One thing missing from the Zenfone 12 Ultra is a long-range zoom camera. The Galaxy has both a 3X and 5X telephoto cameras, while the Zenfone 12 Ultra only has a 3X tele camera. It also comes with many limitations — weirdly, you cannot use the 3X camera to record 4K video.

The ultra-wide camera on the Zenfone also lacks a high-resolution sensor that is proven to work better in low-light conditions.
Let's see how all of this affects the photo quality...
