In May this year, Asus rolled out an Android 12 beta update for the two-year-old ROG Phone 3. After testing the build on the beta channel for close to two months, the company is finally releasing the update on the stable channel. The Android 12 update for the ROG Phone 3 (version 31.0210.0210.230) brings all the new features Google introduced with Android 12, along with revamped stock apps, a new Console design in Armoury Crate, and more.

According to a recent post on Asus' ZenTalk forums, the Android 12 update for the ROG Phone 3 includes the following changes:

  • Upgraded system to Android 12
  • Revamped Mobile Manager, Contacts, Phone, File Manager, Calculator, Clock, Gallery, Weather, Sound recorder, Settings, Data Transfer, Local backup, Setup wizard, System update apps
  • Updated the Console design in Armoury Crate
  • Adjusted Quick Settings panel, notification tray, and volume panel to Android 12 design
  • Added privacy dashboard, camera and microphone indicators, show clipboard access, approximate location access, and microphone access features
  • Replaced ASUS Safeguard with Android 12 Emergency SOS
  • Introduced new widget page design in Launcher. Adjusted the position of the screenshot option and removed the hotseat app icons in the Overview page.
  • Removed the Quick Settings layout option in the Display settings
  • ASUS Phone removed SIP calling support as Android 12 does not natively support SIP calling
  • Some 3rd party apps are not compatible with Android 12 yet

As mentioned in the release notes, the Android 12 release currently doesn't support some third-party apps. However, Asus has not shared a list of unsupported apps. Another important detail missing from the release notes is that the update also includes the June 2022 Android security patches.
