The Asus ROG Phone 3’s Android 12 update is here at last with some major UI changes
Let’s be real — Asus is hardly the brand you’d want to go for if software updates are a priority. Remember when theROG Phone 3had towait for almost a year for Android 11after the version’s release? You’d expect something of its price to be rushed through the fast lane when it comes to updates, but nope, that’s far from reality. Still, at least the company is firm with its promises — a guarantee of two years of Android updates was given, and since the device was launched with Android 10 back in July 2020, it’s now time for possibly the final major update for it.
Afresh poston the ZenTalk forums has announced that Android 12 for the ROG Phone 3 is now out and available to download in the stable form, a couple of months following the first beta release. The enclosed changelog mentions all there’s new, and there sure is plenty. Aside from all of those fancy privacy features you’d expect from Android 12, ZenUI’s entire suite of system apps has been treated to major visual changes, along with the system itself.
Considering you get up to a massive 512GB of memory on the phone, there’s a good chance that you’re well clear of any storage woes. But if you’re the kind that hogs games from the Play Store (as one should on a gaming phone), verify there’s a little over 2.92GB of space available for the update. Once that’s done, head over tothis linkto download the update if you haven’t received an OTA yet.
