ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra
Sleek matte glass back with ultra-narrow bezels and IP68 water resistance. The rare 3.5mm headphone jack is a welcome differentiator. However, the design is nearly identical to the Zenfone 11 Ultra, and the large 6.78-inch form factor disappointed fans of ASUS's formerly compact Zenfone line.
Motorola Razr 2025
The Razr 2025 turns heads with its Pantone-validated color palette and premium vegan leather finish. The titanium-reinforced hinge allows a bigger teardrop fold that reduces crease visibility, and the phone feels lighter than the Ultra despite identical folded dimensions. IP48 water resistance and Gorilla Glass Victus round out the durability features.

ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra
The 6.78-inch Samsung E6 AMOLED panel delivers 2,500 nits peak brightness with LTPO adaptive 1-120Hz (144Hz for gaming). Vivid colors and excellent outdoor readability are let down by FHD+ resolution at a price where competitors offer QHD+, and poor minimum brightness.
Motorola Razr 2025
The 6.9-inch internal AMOLED is vibrant at FHD+ with 120Hz refresh and 3,000 nits peak brightness. The 3.6-inch cover screen running at 90Hz is the standout feature — it handles full Android apps, messages, and quick tasks without needing to unfold the phone.
ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra
Snapdragon 8 Elite delivers class-leading performance — described as "the fastest phone I used in 2025" by Android Central. The clean, near-stock Android 15 experience with no bloatware makes it one of the most fluid Android phones available. On-device Meta Llama 3 AI processing is private but slow.
Motorola Razr 2025
The MediaTek Dimensity 7400X handles daily tasks adequately but is noticeably behind flagship chipsets. Reviewers report occasional lag when switching apps and slow camera app performance, though it outperforms phones that cost $1,000 just two years ago.
ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra
The standout is the 6-axis Hybrid Gimbal Stabilizer 4.0 which delivers uniquely impressive video stabilization — a 66% improvement over the predecessor. The 50MP main camera is solid in good light, but HDR processing produces visible ghosting artifacts, dynamic range suffers with crushed shadows and clipped highlights, and the overall camera system doesn't compete at this price tier.
Motorola Razr 2025
The 50MP main camera captures good detail in well-lit conditions with vibrant colors, and the 32MP selfie camera is genuinely strong. However, the hardware is largely unchanged from the previous generation, low-light results are inconsistent, and shutter lag is noticeable.
ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra
The 5,500mAh dual-cell battery delivers excellent all-day endurance that approaches two days for lighter users. 65W wired charging goes from 0-77% in 30 minutes, and Qi 1.3 wireless charging is included. Battery specs are unchanged from the Zenfone 11 Ultra.
Motorola Razr 2025
The 4,500mAh battery reliably gets through a full day with moderate use, and some reviewers reported two days under light conditions. 30W wired charging hits 61% in 30 minutes, and 15W wireless charging is a welcome inclusion at this price point.
ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra
The cleanest Android experience available on a non-Pixel phone, with near-stock Android 15 and zero bloatware. On-device AI via Meta Llama 3 is a privacy-forward approach. But ASUS's devastating update policy — only 2 Android updates and 5 years of security patches — is the phone's single biggest failure at EUR 1,099.
Motorola Razr 2025
Ships with Android 15 and has already received Android 16. Moto gestures (chop for flashlight, twist for camera) remain useful additions. However, only 3 years of OS updates is far behind Samsung and Google's 7-year commitments, and significant bloatware mars the software experience.
