========================================
Having updated to Android 12 possibly the worst mistake I made for this phone. But why do Asus continue to release softwares that are absolute trash? My phone feels like a piece of SHI*!!
Issues encountered so far:
1. Battery life: Definitely DECREASED. Used to get 1.5 Hours SOT from 100% to 99%, now getting barely 40 minutes on Android 12. 100% to 90% gave me 3 Hours SOT all the time, now, 1 hour 45 mins with light usage!! Battery has degraded significantly!!
2. Phone Temperature: Increased slightly. Not a good sign of course as phone is warm on Android 11 anyway. Now, even in idle, it sits 5 degrees Celsius higher than it did on Android 11
3. Speaker quality: The same as android 11, very good, no change needed. All good with speakers.
4. UI: New UI looks fresh & clean, but, gets laggy at times, especially when exiting an app & going to app drawer, shows random flicker on screen. Themes are inconsistent too as a weird green tint appears in sub menus.
5. Bluetooth headset volume has been decreased SIGNIFICANTLY. Bluetooth earphones no longer loud like they used to be. Max volume on Android 12 with Bluetooth earphones feels like 50% volume on Android 11
I will edit this post when I notice more issues/bugs.

Asus, you rushed this update, as you rush everything & it really shows. It's probably around 60% complete. Fix the damn battery drain & other issues I've mentioned above. This update should not have been released so early.
If anyone else has encountered issues, please mention them on here.

The device gets extremely hot while gaming even for 30 minutes. Mine reaches 50 degrees Celsius when measured with an IR thermometer, however the Armory crate shows only 40-41. the CPU and GPU crosses 80 degrees on the Armory crate. This also results in a great amount of decreased performance, extremely jittery gameplay.
There is a weird black screen issue, where the phone's display wont turn on, yet keeps on working as normal and will require a forced reboot.
At times there is a delay in notification for apps like whatsapp, they will not pop up as long as the phone is locked.

For the battery you cannot question Android 12 before doing a careful calibration of this one, empty it and recharge it completely (green led + 15 minutes) with the phone turned off.
For the most important heating, give Android 12 time to examine your applications, check your personalized settings to see if some are not reset by default.
Don't expect a miracle, ASUS had announced 1st quarter, too many competitors have already released Android 12, so we had to meet the deadlines whatever the cost and for +15 years the bugs are "Normal" in the spirit of the general public, which was unthinkable before and treated very differently
