ZenFone 11 ultra megathread

Is this the death of their compact flagship ??..Shame if is…

Xylight (Photon Dev) · 4 months ago

this is the “ultra”, hopefully not

@machinaeZER0@lemm.ee · 4 months ago

I’m hoping that too, but seems strange they’d choose to stagger the launches if so :(

@Ilandar@aussie.zone · 4 months ago

But that potentially implies that the regular Zenfone will no longer be a flagship, in the same way the regular Galaxy or Pixel phones are not the flagships for their respective manufacturers.

@Welp_im_damned@lemdro.id · 4 months ago

I mean there is the base s23, and sony xperia 5 series still.

@infinitevalence · 4 months ago

does Samsung still try to keep people from flashing custom ROMs? Reason im on a Pixel 5 is the size and because I can run LineageOS.

@Welp_im_damned@lemdro.id · 4 months ago

yes they still do.

Sony will at least give you the ability to flash your own rom. (Not in the u.s. because of our carrier bs)

Pixel 8 is about the same size as the pixel 5 and S23/24 if flashing custom ROMs is important to you

@infinitevalence · 4 months ago

did not realize they made it taller but not wider, it would still be a problem for my tiny Trump hands to reach the top left when holding in my right hand, but it at least offers me a modern option.

Android has an option where you swipe down on the navigation bar, and it brings the display down to the bottom half, idk if it’s enabled by default though, but it’s very useful. iPhones have the same thing as well

@infinitevalence · 4 months ago

These are the issues because I one handed swipe and navigate. But yes that is helpful.

Yes the base S23/24, are still considered compact by today’s standards, but the Xperia 5 series is pushing that a bit…🤷🏻‍♂️

Indeed, Relevant list: https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-Best-Compact-Smartphones.161694.0.html

I got a 30 Fusion recently, quite happy with it.

@Welp_im_damned@lemdro.id · 4 months ago

Thats nice.

@Ilandar@aussie.zone · 4 months ago

Neither of those phones are actually flagships. Like I get that some people just use that word to mean any phone with an 8 series Snapdragon but that’s not actually what it means. The Galaxy Ultra and the Xperia 1 are the flagship phones for those manufacturers.
