Asus ROG Phone 2 Update

Asus released the Android 11 Beta testing program to Asus ROG Phone 2 smartphone gamer users in mid-September. The brand is known for being slow to provide updates. But finally, while Android 12 is already arriving on some phones, the stable version of Android 11 is being made available for the ROG Phone 2.

The Android 11 update has not been officially announced on the Asus website in English, but the changelog is live on the company’s Chinese website. The update is identified by the code 18.0210.2111.160 and includes everything new in Android 11, including a conversations section for notifications, a built-in screen recorder, new app APIs, and privacy improvements.

The update also brings a new design to the ROG UI, presumably the same one you find on ROG Phone 3 (after its Android 11 update) and ROG Phone 5.
