Last month, Asus released a stable Android 13 update for the latest Zenfone 9. Now, the brand is bringing the software treat to the older Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 Flip. The update is being seeded in almost all regions, except Japan. Let’s have a closer look at the details.
Asus Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 Flip are receiving the stable Android 13 with software version 33.0210.0210.210. As mentioned, the update is rolling out in most regions, including Russia, India, Taiwan, and Europe. Only Japan isn’t getting it as of now. Users of the above-mentioned devices should be receiving the latest update in the coming days.
The new update comes with all the new features that were introduced with Android 13 and also brings the January security patch. The software adjusts the Quick Settings panel, notification tray, and volume panel to Android 13 design and has revamped Mobile Manager, Contacts, Phone, Emergency Dialer, File Manager, and other apps.
The rollout of Android 13 for the Zenfone 8 series is according to the update timeline released in November last year. Based on this, we can expect the stable Android 13 to soon make its way to the ROG Phone 6 and 6D before the end of the first quarter, followed by the ROG Phone 5 and 5S sometime in the second quarter.
As usual, the update is being rolled out in a phased manner and it may take a few days to reach every unit out there. But if you don’t wish to wait, you can sideload the update from Asus’ support site. Before you install the update, make sure you backup all your important data.
