With Android 12 now being officially out for a while, brands are working on updating their devices to the latest OS. Yesterday, Samsung started rolling out One UI 4.0 for its devices after the initial release was paused due to bugs. Today, ASUS has started to roll out the Android 12 stable update for the ZenFone 8 and ZenFone 8 Flip after a few beta versions.
A couple of months back, ASUS had announced its Android 12 release schedule for its smartphones with the rollout timeline for the ZenFone 8 and 8 Flip starting December 2021 onwards. We’re glad that ASUS has stuck to its schedule and has started rolling out the Android 12 stable update just before the end of the year.
ASUS announced that it has started rolling out the Android 12 update for the ZenFone 8 and ZenFone 8 Flip via a post on the ZenTalk forums. The announcement is also accompanied by download links for the update if you wish to install it manually on your device.
