No ramdump, a bit better battery life, stock like android

Better battery life would be really lovely. And mostly all of the Asus apps (messaging, dialing app etc) can go since Google provide good apps for that. The Bloatware annoys me the most without the ability to fully remove them.

Stock-like Android-11-like Android 12. Just don't change the notification system and icons to the new, bloated, child-like, inconvenient A12 model. (Do as Samsung did and stay close to the A11 design.) But yes, close to stock in all other respects. (Don't follow Samsung here.)

BTW, any pictures to post from A12 beta?

I don't have any laucher screenshot because I use Nova

Thanks. So the new, inconvenient interface. Too bad.

I got used to it pretty early to be honest. It's actually pretty good.

Thanks. It's tolerable but still annoying. I switched from new Pixel 5 for this reason. Why oh why...

Did you notice any battery life improvements?

 

[landsome]

How frequent are the updates?

 

[Hollyca]

Battery life so far is not beter than A11, about the same I would say. So far we got 3 updates. A bit desapointed I must say, I expected the build to be at least better for battery

It looks like Android 12 was released. (OTA) 1 195,75 MB (RU)

@dron39 , @arkedk : Are you registred in beta program?

@dron39 , @arkedk : Are you registred in beta program?

Nope not in the beta channel. So the official Android 12 is rolling out now for all Zenfone 8. But might be a staged roll-out.

I guess no. It wasn't from my device. Seems like final release (if no mistake from ASUS, lol)

 

[DerSteppo]

I received the same firmware today! Weeks ago, I signed up for the beta programme but never heard of them until this morning. So, is this a beta firmware or official final?

 

[arkedk]

Oh yeah. Can see I got accepted on the beta. So this is beta channel.

Any idea how to install the incremental Android 12 OTA (here) over the latest stable version (30.12.112.62)? There is no update.bat file as in the full OTA to flash from fastboot.

PS Simply putting the fw in the root directory and rebooting does not work either.
