The global smartphone market might be losing another member, as ASUS shockingly confirmed this week that it doesn't plan to launch new smartphones in 2026.
The last ASUS ROG Phone model released in late 2024, with the company only releasing the ASUS Zenfone 12 Ultra in early 2025. Although ASUS isn't throwing in the towel on smartphones entirely, the brand's official statements suggest that in a best-case scenario, it'll be another 12 months before we see another ASUS phone.
