========================================
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.

Don't install it. Unless you want to ruin your phone. If you install it, you're going to want to downgrade it, to downgrade you'll have to backup all your data... Don't put yourself through the nightmare. Stick to android 11

Only issue I've had since the update is the 5g doesn't connect unless I go into the dailer codes and force it as the only way to connect

Another thing, if you update, your phone won't connect to PC!!!! This really p***ed me off as I couldn't back up my data !! So I had to buy a SD card with a SD adaptor and backup manually which took 7 hours !!!
I'll give you an example of another issue, on Android 11, I get 3 hours SOT from 100% - 90% . On Android 12, I got just about 1.5 hours.
It's a horrible update. Stick to the Android 11 .226 update

Can not find Twin (Parallel) WhatsApp media files after Android 12 update.
Are they deleted?

Can not download photos received in chat after update.
