Asus Rog Phone 3 - Strix System Update issue.

[TX11559]

Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: Asus rog Phone 3 - Strix Tencent Edition
Rooted or not: Not sure (Global Rom)
Hello, I have some questions about my Phone.
I have recently got from Ebay the Asus Rog 3 Phone - Strix edition Tencent Version. I choice it because it was cheaper, I was doing some digging and found that the issue might be the companies for the communication. I am from Israel so this issue was irrelevant, and this is why I choose this phone.

Anyway, the system version number is 17.0823.2007.32, when I try to update it says it is up to date, however I see other versions out there so :

1) how can I update my system ?
2) sorry to ask, is the tencent version a real ASUS phone ? because on their website I see there is republic of gamers and none tecent, so got confused.

Will add more info / pictures if needed, thanks.

Yes, it's the ROG Phone 3 version sold for the Chinese market.

But you can still manually update through the full firmware available on Asus's site right?

It is an ASUS product however it is only for the chinese market, so installing a global rom onto it is installing software that isnt made for it. This causes especially issues with certifications and such.
