Last month, ASUS launched its latest Zenfone series smartphone in the form of the ASUS Zenfone 9. The phone runs the Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box, but the company is working on updating the software.

Now, the company has officially announced the Android 13 beta program for the ASUS Zenfone 9 smartphone, and the new software is already being rolled out to those who are enrolled in the beta program.

Those who want to enroll in the Android 13 beta program for the Zenfone 9 can open the Settings app on their phone and navigate to System > System update menu and tap on the gear icon at the top-right corner and select “Enroll in the Beta Test Program” from there.

It’s not an open process yet, so once you submit the application to enroll in the beta testing programs, the company will take a decision. If you are selected for the beta testing program, then you will get the new Android 13 beta update on your phone. It’s noteworthy that the software may have bugs and issues and could impact the user experience as well as the phone’s performance.

The ASUS Zenfone 9 features a 5.9-inch SAMOLED display with a Full HD+ screen resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate with 445PPI pixel density, HDR10+ support, and a 112-percent DCI-P3 color gamut.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, coupled with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.

In the camera department, there’s a dual-camera setup on the back consisting of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary sensor coupled with a 2-megapixel Sony IMX363 ultra-wide sensor with 113 degrees field of view. On the front side, there’s a 12-megapixel Sony IMX663 snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

The IP68-rated water and dust-resistant smartphone is powered by a 4,300mAh battery and has 30W fast charging support. The company claims that the battery can be charged from zero to 50 percent in under 30 minutes.
