That's the second time the phone's been late to the party

Let's be real — Asus is hardly the brand you'd want to go for if software updates are a priority. Remember when the ROG Phone 3 had to wait for almost a year for Android 11 after 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.

A fresh post on 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), make sure there's a little over 2.92GB of space available for the update. Once that's done, head over to this link to download the update if you haven't received an OTA yet.

A Computer Applications graduate, his career started with web development, which he quickly ditched for writing after realizing it made better use of his skills. He firmly believes technology exists to serve us and not the other way around, and therefore tries to limit his screen-time (with little success, sadly). After a day's work, you can find him watching the latest sci-fi movie, scrolling through memes on Twitter, or driving around aimlessly.
