While most brands began rolling out the stable Android 15 update last year, Asus is still in the testing phase, similar to Samsung. The company is currently testing the Android 15 beta on the Zenfone 11 Ultra, Zenfone 10, and ROG Phone 8. Additionally, Asus has started sending invites to Rog Phone 7 users for the Android 15 beta program.
Update: Asus has officially announced the Android 15 Preview for ROG Phone 7. You can follow this guide apply for the preview/beta program.
A user Caoimhin has shared a screenshot on the Asus forum that confirms the announcement of the Android 15 beta program for the ROG Phone 7. However, it has not been started yet. You may have to wait for the official announcement on the forum.
The ROG Phone 7 was released in 2023 with Android 13 and is only eligible for two OS upgrades. This means Android 15 will be the last major update for the device.
Although Asus announced the Android 15 beta for Zenfone 11 Ultra in October, they started the beta journey only in December. So, there is no clue when they will start releasing the Android 15 beta build for the ROG Phone 7.
If you’re curious about the features Android 15 will bring to your Asus phone, check out this changelog from the Zenfone 10. It provides a sneak peek at what you can expect while you wait for the update on your ROG Phone 7.
