Smartphone
Although ASUS is better known as a manufacturer of computers, peripherals, and networking equipment, the company also produces smartphones. Its approach to this segment is relatively straightforward: either release high-end devices or avoid the category altogether. As a result, the lineup mainly consists of flagship models, including both gaming-focused and general-purpose devices.
A gaming smartphone from the ROG series may not suit every user due to its more aggressive design and features that are often unnecessary outside of gaming scenarios. For this reason, it is more practical to consider the 2025 flagship model, the ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra, as a balanced option.
It is a 6.78-inch smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with Adreno 830 graphics, paired with 12 or 16 GB of RAM and 256 or 512 GB of internal storage. The display is an AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2400 × 1080 pixels, a density of 388 ppi, HDR10 support, and a 144 Hz refresh rate. The device features a metal-and-glass chassis, is available in black, pink, and green, and offers IP68-rated dust and water resistance.
The rear camera system consists of a 50 MP main sensor with optical image stabilization, a 13 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 32 MP macro module. The front-facing camera uses a centered punch-hole design and has a resolution of 32 MP. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, GPS, USB-C for charging, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The fingerprint scanner is built into the display, and the phone supports stereo audio.
The ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra is equipped with a 5,500 mAh battery and supports 65 W wired fast charging and 15 W wireless charging. Pricing starts at approximately $780 / €670.
Laptop
A notebook is arguably the most predictable gift for an ASUS enthusiast, as this is the segment where the company remains one of the established market players and offers a wide range of models for different usage scenarios. The lineup includes options for basic work and study, premium ultraportables, more advanced systems for creative professionals, and performance-focused gaming machines. As a balanced option, the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (UM3406KA) can be considered a middle-ground choice that covers most everyday and professional tasks without clearly leaning toward a single niche.
It is a mid-range laptop with a clean, restrained design, a bright 14-inch Full HD OLED display, and a well-balanced hardware configuration. Models in this series are powered by Ryzen AI processors, use integrated AMD Radeon graphics, and are available with 16 GB or 32 GB of RAM, as well as SSD storage options up to 1 TB.

The ASUS ROG Delta II is a full-size over-ear gaming headset with a hybrid connection system and support for Hi-Res Audio. Audio output is handled by 50 mm dynamic drivers with a 32 Ω impedance and a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The flexible headband design, console compatibility, and two sets of ear pads (fabric and synthetic leather) make it a practical option compared to many competing models. In addition to PCs and laptops, the headset is compatible with mobile devices, PlayStation 4/5, and Nintendo Switch. Pricing starts at approximately $215 / €185.
Gaming Microphone
For users who stream or produce video content, a dedicated microphone is often necessary to achieve clean and consistent voice capture. ASUS offers several models that cover both entry-level and more advanced use cases, suitable for beginners as well as experienced creators.

Webcam
Which streamer can do without a quality webcam? Especially one that is compact yet delivers good resolution – a reasonable webcam can make a big difference in streams, video calls, and content creation.
