Asus began its Android 12 update journey in December with the Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 Flip, and unfortunately, it took the Taiwanese company nearly five months to revert to those phones’ predecessors. Today, however, it has finally announced that Android 12 is now available for Zenfone 7 and Zenfone 7 Pro, both of which were released in 2020.
The new firmware coming out is labeled as version 31.0210.0210.250 for both models (note that we are talking about the Zenfone 7 ZS670KS and the Zenfone 7 Pro ZS671KS.
As usual with such over-the-air deployments, new software is deployed to multiple devices in batches, so it may take a few days for all units in circulation to receive the coveted update notification. If you’re impatient and want to manually check and see if you have yours, you can go to Settings> System and tap on System Updates – maybe you’re in luck.
Note that if at some point you want to go back to Android 11 from Android 12, you will have to erase all your data. So a backup is recommended before updating to Android 12, just in case.
In addition to everything Google has packed into the Android 12 version, your Zenfone 7 or 7 Pro is also receiving revamped built-in apps, “adjusted” Quick Settings panel, notification bar and volume panel, and a system reload animation. Asus Safeguard has been replaced with the stock emergency SOS feature and the Asus Phone app has removed the SIP calling feature for some reason.
