The ASUS ROG Phone 2 was launched in 2019 with Android 9 Pie out of the box. It was later upgraded to Android 10 last year. In September 2021, ASUS announced a closed beta program for Android 11 and had been working on its refinement. Now, after a couple of months, we are finally witnessing a stable Android 11 update being pushed for the two-year-old ROG Phone 2.

It is advisable to proceed to the update with caution as brands tend to notoriously throttle the performance with updates, especially to devices near the end of their update cycles. The ASUS ROG Phone 2 is mostly used by hard-core gamers, competitive gamers or online game streamers. If you belong to these categories, you wouldn’t want your gaming device to perform worse than mid-range devices just for the novelty of Android 11. So, check for experiences of users who have already updated, before you take the leap.
