ASUS ROG Phone 2 Gets Closed Beta Android 11 Update Program

ASUS had launched the ROG Phone 2 in 2019 with Android 9 Pie on board. Last year, the gaming smartphone had received the Android 10 update. ASUS had released the new software update for the ROG Phone 2 a few weeks ago and it included the August 2021 security patch. Now, it looks like the Taiwanese firm is finally aiming to release the Android 11 update to the ROG Phone 2. ASUS has opened the Closed Beta Android 11 Update Program for the ASUS ROG Phone 2. This is almost one year late compared to most other Android smartphone brands. For comparison, high-end smartphones OnePlus, Samsung, and Xiaomi received the Android 11 update earlier this year.

Let us check out how you can enrol into this program if you want to test the beta version of the Android 11 update for your ROG Phone 2.
