Previously, Asus began the recruitment for Zenfone 6’s Beta Testing way before the Android 11’s official announcement. However, the first beta came a week later from September 9 when Google released the first Android 11 stable update.

The ZenTalk forum post says it’s seeding to a limited number of users(as of now) and it’s probably to ensure the build doesn’t have crazy bugs. Nevertheless, the update is here and is likely to expand to other regions in the near future.

Although Asus hasn’t voiced a definite rollout schedule, going by the chronology, the Zenfone 7 and event the ROG Phone 3 should get it soon now.
