结论 - Zenfone 12 Ultra 显示出弱点

Zenfone 12 Ultra 是一款可靠的高端智能手机,配备了快速处理器、不错的摄像头和出色的电池续航能力。它还配备了快速充电和 eSIM 卡,并通过了 IP68 认证。

不过,更新时间较短和表面温度可能较高的缺点也很突出。希望华硕能在未来的更新中解决网状网络的问题。

Pros

+ 快速 SoC,高效散热
+ 明亮的真彩显示屏
+ 低噪音插孔连接
+ 支持 eSIM 卡

Cons

- 只有两个主要更新
- 网状网络问题
- 最低亮度过高
- 压力测试中表面温度过高

价格和供应情况

在测试期间,华硕不提供直销。不过,Zenfone 12 Ultra 可在亚马逊AlternateGalaxus 等许多零售商处购买。

外壳和功能 - Zenfone 12 Ultra,配备大猩猩玻璃 Victus 2

与前代产品相比,华硕对 Zenfone 12 Ultra 的设计进行了小幅调整,缩小了摄像头驼峰的尺寸。不过,3.95 毫米的驼峰还是凸出了不少。做工令人印象深刻:缝隙紧密均匀,黑色版本(我们的测试样品)的磨砂铝边框不易沾染指纹。背面的玻璃也是磨砂的,但明显更容易沾染灰尘。正面由大猩猩 Victus 2 玻璃保护。

在功能方面,华硕在 Zenfone 12 Ultra 上保留了音频接口,在测试中证明噪音很低(信噪比:100.91 dBFS)。不过,它新增了 eSIM 支持。如果要使用,第二个 SIM 卡插槽将被停用。

通讯和操作 - 配备光学指纹传感器的华硕手机

华硕 Zenfone 12 Ultra 支持所有现代通信标准,如 5G Sub6、Wi-Fi 7、蓝牙 5.4 和 NFC。只有 UWB 无需使用。结合华硕 ROG Rapture GT-AXE 11000 参考路由器,这款智能手机实现了很高的数据传输速率,只有在 6 GHz 范围内传输时才会出现最初的下降。在日常使用中,我们的 Zenfone 遇到了网状系统的问题,它顽固地无视这些系统,只直接连接到路由器Fritz!Box 5690 Pro

Zenfone 的电容式触摸屏运行完美,滑动性能良好。没有贴保护膜。华硕提供了一个集成在显示屏中的光学指纹传感器,用于生物识别安全。该传感器工作可靠、快速。此外,还可通过前置摄像头进行安全性较低的面部识别。

电源按钮是一个所谓的智能按钮,可以进行配置:除了单按之外,它还可以为双击和长按分配不同的动作。

软件和可持续性 - 华硕只提供两种主要更新

Zenfone 12 Ultra 预装了谷歌Android 15,应该会收到两个主要的Android 更新。华硕已将安全补丁的覆盖范围延长至五年,考虑到价格区间,这仍然不算多。

华硕对人工智能功能进行了大幅升级,并推出了九项新功能。其中包括改进视频录制、生成式图像增强、Circle to Search、通话翻译以及各种文本摘要或翻译功能。其中一些功能仍处于测试阶段,使用起来还不太顺畅。

华硕尚未提供任何有关使用可回收原材料或智能手机二氧化碳排放量的信息。对于 11 Ultra的可持续发展报告https://esg.asus.com/en/resource/carbon_footprint?tabs=phone的可持续发展报告。华硕不打算让用户自己进行维修,因此没有提供说明书或备件。Zenfone 12 Ultra 包装在一个纸箱中,我们看不到任何塑料成分。

摄像头 - Zenfone 12 Ultra,配备 LYT-700

与 Zenfone 12 Ultra 自拍
与 Zenfone 12 Ultra 自拍

相机方面的变化不大。前置采用了相同的传感器,自拍效果不错,但只能拍摄全高清(30 FPS)视频。

后置三摄像头也基本没有变化。不过,Zenfone 12 Ultra 配备了较新的主传感器索尼 Lytia 700,并改进了云台防抖功能。从照片中也可以清楚地看到这一点。对比度变得更加清晰,成像性能似乎也比上一代产品更加和谐。不过,我们希望在近距离拍摄时能看到更多的细节和更鲜艳的色彩。

可录制 8k (30 帧/秒)视频。从超高清开始,可以达到每秒 60 帧。缺点是:强大的图像稳定功能仅适用于全高清。

显示屏 - 明亮的 OLED 显示屏,即使在黑暗中也清晰可见

子像素结构
子像素结构

Zenfone 12 Ultra 的 OLED 显示屏与前代产品相比保持不变,再次提供扩展的全高清分辨率。在游戏模式下,刷新率最高可达 144 Hz;否则,刷新率将在 1 到 120 Hz 之间动态调节。

亮度方面也没有任何变化。在显示 HDR 内容时,最高亮度可达 2,550 cd/m²。但必须批评的是,最低亮度相对较高,在黑暗中往往显得过亮。

我们测得的 PWM 频率为相当稳定的 480 Hz,振幅曲线平坦,当闪烁保护功能启动时,振幅曲线会变得更加平坦(见第二张截图)。不过,也不能排除有投诉的可能。

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 480 Hz
Amplitude: 13.95 %

The display backlight flickers at 480 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 480 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8516 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White

性能、排放和电池寿命 - Zenfone 会变得非常热

华硕 Zenfone 12 Ultra 配备了 骁龙 8 精英版16 GB 内存。这是目前智能手机中速度最快的 SoC 之一,性能也相应较高。即使在压力测试中,它的性能也相对稳定,但这是以极高的表面温度为代价的。

两个扬声器的音量非常大,但在最大音量时会有些失真。无线音频传输采用了多种编解码器,只有 Auracast 不支持。

5,500 毫安时电池允许长时间运行,但如果效率更高,运行时间肯定会更长。在测试中,充满电需要 53 分钟(50%:17 分钟)。

The selection of devices to be reviewed is made by our editorial team. The test sample was provided to the author as a loan by the manufacturer or retailer for the purpose of this review. The lender had no influence on this review, nor did the manufacturer receive a copy of this review before publication. There was no obligation to publish this review. We never accept compensation or payment in return for our reviews. As an independent media company, Notebookcheck is not subjected to the authority of manufacturers, retailers or publishers.

This is how Notebookcheck is testing

Every year, Notebookcheck independently reviews hundreds of laptops and smartphones using standardized procedures to ensure that all results are comparable. We have continuously developed our test methods for around 20 years and set industry standards in the process.
