How many OS updates?

[abhineet150]

Would like to know how many numbers of OS update would Zenfone 8 receive and should we expect Android 12 and 13.

Just asking as I see Asus tries all the hard they can but is still really late with OS release and rollouts as per the trend.

How long will be supported our ZF8 ? how often we will receive security patches ? Is almost July and we have still 5th april security patch. This is flagship and i think it would be good to receive security patches timely at least first year

Software support period and security patches

Tbh the search feature of the forum could be better. Something like selecting to search under the zenfone 8 topic/sub thread would make it a bit better to search for device specific issues and so on. For example have a look at xda and their this forum option under search.
tld: please give us a better search in the forum.

Thankyou..
You have been helpful and nice to share the post link.
I tried searching using their search box but the search results didn't provide clarity and the results I was looking for.

Also the reason why I posted this question/topic is that whether Asus is planning or thinking in any change in their strategy as most other smartphone manufacturers are providing 3 to 4 years of software support and upgrades

How many OS updates?

Zenfone line-up has a 2 android os policy
And 2-3 yrs of security patches plus bug fixes

Regarding second part of your comment
As of now there's no info if Asus will increase software support period this is something even mods don't know about,only the upper management of Asus mobile knows about this or can take this decision
So basically just expect 2 os upgrades and 3yrs of patches of Zenfone 8 unless Asus states otherwise
In the meantime you can vote and comment in this thread:

Zenfones from 2018 and beyond should get 3 years of OS support with security patches.

Zenfone 5z - Android 11 with Zenui 6 or Zenui 7

Zenfone 6 - Android 12 with Zenui 7 or Zenui 8

Zenfone 7 - Android 13 With Zenui 8 or Zenui 9

Zenfone 8 series-Android 14 with Zenui 9 or Zenui 10.

Guys if you support this idea your votes are very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Support extension for 3 years on Zenfones.

Gotta see what requests Asus accepts from that thread

I am skeptical about 3rd OS update. More is not always better. I rather see Asus polish last version (13 for ZF8) and just make security updates longer. Android 14 will release in 2024, maybe few months sooner. I doubt battery will last till then.
