I recommend you avoid Asus. No matter how good their phones look on paper, they are miles away from other companies.
It's been almost a month since my Asus Zenfone 8 got updated to Android 13. With that, the WiFi connectivity and HotSpot are no longer working. Any hint from their support team on a possible resolution to this problem is still yet to be shown. You can look it up on forums, my case is not the only one.
You can't turn off the auto-update, so even if you downgrade to Android 12, you're still going to get this broken software installed.
Considering this is the last major update it might not get resolved.
