I honestly don't know what Asus is thinking and doing with the ROG Phone 2 as their Asus 5z also got android 10 update as well as the 6Z also got it but this is very shameful that the ROG phone 2 is left behind where all the competition has rolled out android 10 to their flagships but Asus is sleeping somewhere.
If we can't get updates on time then what's the meaning of flagships and investment so much of money into a specific device where we have many options in competition where we feel cheated as customer that we are left behind for updates.

Well just to help you understand 5z and 6z doesn't have accessories to support where rog 2 has many accessories to support so to make it compatible they have to code then squash bugs , so naturally it would take time.
I hope you understood my point , I agree it's hardware is on par with today's tech but making android 10 compatible with accessories is also takes time.
Beta should come anytime i think. But i agree, even Samsung already have Android 10.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm okay with delayed OS upgrades if it is due to extensive testings to fix all bugs.
Its better to have bug free OS lately than having bug ridden fast updates. Just my 2 cents. ???
Asus doesn't want to make the sane mistake which was done by one plus with 6 and 6t they rolled out early but with so many bugs and issues that they had to stop the update and withdrew it and then after 20 days again got the stable update finally I think you should wait as it's said sabra ka fal mitha hota hai
What Asus Max Pro M1 and M2.. will they be getting Android 10 update
Maybe/maybe not (odds are likely not)
Even if they do it'll be very late like in Q2-Q3 2020
Btw this isn't the proper forum for max pro series,post stuff related to them on the fan chat section
First beta is already on the corner. Hopefully we'll get it this week
just to make it clear that all the phones in this segment has android 10 and moreover android 10 was released in the month of August so time may not be the issue coming to alienation of bugs and compatibility as they had enough time to do it.
Well every brand works in there own way, it's a software bugs will come it's not easy to develop a whole os in shorter span . If you want Android 10 with bugs ok with that then cz even if you make multiple threads of Android 10 they will release when they feel it's stable enough.
I just wanted to make you understand but if you are comparing with other brands then I have got nothing to say any further.
Peace out I am done here.
Dude.
It's a Project Treble upgrade and the accessories are not a problem to include once you already developed everything before. It has been enough time to develop a whole phone software wise since August .
There are literally no excuses for being this late.
Relax brother. They are working on it. As sated above, it's better to have a bug-free os rather than one full of them.
Yes. Currently, We have few or more bugs in Android 9. Let them give us bug less Android 10.
Amount of time spent before releasing a new Android version doesn't have a correlation with a number of bugs. Actually. The ones more than 3 months late after the release of the new Android version usually have more bugs. Also.
PS: Android 10 Beta 3 has already been released in May. :D Great job Asus :D
So, the ones that release the new android versions later have more bugs. Thats sounds like a correlation to me lol...
Simple as that.
I use my ROG Phone to play games. I use the Pixel 2 XL for everything else.
A gaming phone should value stability over anything else. Sticking with older Android versions offers the best performance. Pretty much every major Android emulator defaults to Android 5 for that reason alone.
Since we are on the updates topic, I would like to know policy of security updates from Asus side. One of the YouTuber stated that ROG phone 2 will get bimonthly security patches, which doesn't seem to be happening on time. Can mods clarify this?
How long will ROG phone 2 get security updates?
How many Android updates will it get?
Will security updates be bimonthly or monthly?
Yeah rather stable update than fast buggy ones. I'll actually wait and see if ppl complaint about any bugs before let the phone update. Learned my lesson on the .44 fw. Should have stay .35
ROG Phone II will use Project Mainline just like ZenFone 6 which means that security updates are pushed out separately.
We wish we could update all phones to Android 10 in one go but we can't. If we had focused on ROG Phone II first, then all ZenFone 6 customers would have been angry or all ZenFone 5z if they had to wait.
Android 10 is coming so please relax, it's basically around the corner. The beta testing has just started and now we have to find and kill as many bugs as possible.
A lot of users thinks that when Google has released a new version of Android, then all we have to do is to add our wallpaper, some minor tweaks and we're done. This is so far from the truth. It still needs A LOT of work from a big software team before it can be realised. Even the Pixel phones doesn't use the same code as the one they release to manufacturers. Luckily we can reuse a lot of the code from ZenFone 6 in ROG phone II which means that it has already gone though some beta testing but new bugs will of course emerge since they are not identical.
Let's just hope that there are not too many bugs because the time frame is decided by when it's stable enough to be released
You didn't even read my comment, did you?
I was asking about frequency and duration commitment of security updates.
