Nick, 03 Oct 2021Don't buy Asus that what I can tell from my experience... moreSoftware is pretty good, borderline great.

Software support longevity is baseline. Less than the absolute best few models, but same or better than "overall market" , but yeah, if you wanna compare to a Samsung S21 flagship that has 3 years? , then no, it's 2 for Asus.

        Nick, 03 Oct 2021Don't buy Asus that what I can tell from my experience... moreYeah they havent fix the issue with rog3(hdr bug??). And AOS12 wont be rolled out since we updated ours to 11.....
        Their AsusTalk website is utterly useless it is supposed to cater or know all the bugs and issues of their phone yet no actions/fixes/updates we hear from them.

          Don't buy Asus that what I can tell from my experience. Hardware is awesome but software support is very poor.

                      If they were willing to sell anything other than the lowest capacity model in the UK I might have one. But they are far from the first to decide that we only need low capacity phones here, and lose sales as a result.

                          I just hope they can port many, or all, bug fixes they've done these last few months for the current OS version. I'll wait and see how buggy it is before I upgrade.. almost returned it because of all the bugs, but now it's.. good enough.

                            I just hope Asus steps up their mobile devision customer service and fixes the issues with both Zenfone8 and Rog 5.

                            The phone have solid specs for the price, but if you like a friend of mine have a fully bricked Z8 out of nowhere and Asus acts difficult with fixing, then the price is not worth it.

                            For people wondering, there are few topics on Reddit and XDA about issues these phones have, which is a same because again they have solid specs.

                              YUKI93, 02 Oct 2021I'd be surprised if the 2019 Zenfone 6 get an Android ... moreDon't think it will mate. I own it and I'm sure they said 11 will be the last update. Think their update policy is 2 years OS and bi monthly security.

                                SA007, 02 Oct 2021Meanwhile, they're teasing the Indian launch for month... moreprobably they are gonna roll out the phone on diwali in November. and with Androiod 12 off the box? but this is a serious delay man. they should have released it with SD 778 if they are concerned about heating issue and warranties etc. its too late. big billion sale is already on and the only asus phone i see there is ROG3

                                  Meanwhile, they're teasing the Indian launch for months now (the teaser on their Indian site has been live for quite a while now, since July-August) but still no firm launch date.

                                    I'd be surprised if the 2019 Zenfone 6 get an Android 12 OS update.
