Here's when your ASUS phone will get Android 12

The rollout is set to kick off in December this year.

What you need to know

ASUS has revealed its Android 12 update roadmap.
The company's ZenFone 8 series phones will receive the Android 12 update in December.
ROG Phone 5 and 5s owners will have to wait until the first quarter of 2022 to receive the update.

ASUS on October 22 announced its Android 12 release schedule. The company will begin rolling out the Android 12 update to its phones by the end of the year.

Disappointingly, however, the only ASUS phones to receive the Android 12 update this year will be the ZenFone 8 series. ASUS has promised that the ZenFone 8 series will be updated to the latest version of Android by December.

The ROG Phone 5 and 5s, which are among the best gaming phones available right now, are slated to get Android 12 in the first quarter of 2022. The ROG Phone 3 and ZenFone 7 series phones, on the other hand, will make the jump to Android 12 sometime in the first half of 2022.

ASUS says the update will include all the major functional changes that Google has introduced with Android 12, along with updates to ZenUI's battery- and performance-management features. Some of the other ZenUI-specific changes that will be a part of the Android 12 update for ASUS phones include streamlined control panels, more customizations options, and "increased visibility" for better control.

ASUS is also running an Android 12 beta program for the ZenFone 8. The beta program is aimed at helping identify and fix bugs before the stable update is released in December.

Earlier this week, Vivo also announced its Android 12 rollout plans. The company will kick off its Android 12 beta program next month, with its flagship X70 Pro+ being the first device to get a taste of Android 12.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
