Asus launched its Android 16 beta program for the Zenfone 12 Ultra back in August, and after almost exactly three months of testing, it’s now finally ready to roll out the finalized version. It’s not just rolling out to the Zenfone 12 Ultra, but also the ROG Phone 9.
The new build is 36.0810.1810.43, and the download size is over 1GB. As all updates, this one too is rolling out in batches, so it might take a few days – if not weeks – until every device out there receives the notification.
The changelog includes adjusted system navigation settings, the ability to long-press the power button to invoke the digital assistant, a skip countdown button in screen recording, an issue with no sound during calls with Bluetooth headsets being fixed, and for the ROG Phone 9 specifically a lot of game profiles, AirTrigger profiles, and Macro profiles have been updated. Asus notes that some third party apps may not be compatible with Android 16 yet.
