Android 12 beta 2 discussion

Hey,
I just installed the beta on my ZF8 and saw that there was no discussion thread about this on the forum.
I'd like to share with you my thoughts so far with the software, as it enabled a fully new experience for me with the phone, and most of the criticism I had before.
-Battery life and heating seems GREATLY improved. Even as I was installing all of my apps, the phone barely got warm and I lost like 15% in 2 hours. For daily use it doesn't get hot at all and I get almost twice the battery life I had before.
-Fingerprint scanner works 3-4 times faster than before. Almost instanteneous, really MUCH better than before. Life-changing.
-A few bugs I had have been fixed (lags when using Youtube's PiP for example).

Overall, this is a very solid improvement to the phone, and I'm very glad I installed it. Didn't really see any major bugs or stability problems, and I got all of the new Android 12 features as well.
The only thing I'd mention as a negative is all of the chinese bloatware that comes with the beta. That was unnecessary.
Even though I've had problems with Asus and a lot of people are complaining here, this time I wanted to congratulate the software team for this very good work that fixes most of the phone's issues.

Please let me know your experience with this beta if you've installed it.

What kind of chinese bloatware do you have?
Is it possible to uninstall it? Or disable at last.

Just curious, do you lose all of your data (as indicated) when installing this open beta 2?

Also can you share the screen on time you get?

I got Yandex browser (Russian), some Japanese things that sent me notifications and a few Chinese apps, I don't even know what it was as I disabled/uninstalled it right away and it's fine now.

Yup, I lost all my data in the process unfortunately. Don't have a screenshot right now but I'll share later

Hey Asus - don't install that bloatware/spyware . One spy in a form of Google is enough.
