This Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders seemed to have quite a future, but it is far from what we wish in updates and that Android 11 which sets it far apart from other mobiles with similar specs.

A mobile that is around 1,299 dollars
Being an android mobile for a flagship price, the truth is that its owners must be a little surprised by the slowness of the updates and that it is still on Android 11; when most top of the range have already had their Android 12 for months.
Via Android Police, and as a reddit source, where a few owners of the Smartphone for Snapdragon Insiders met, they have started complaining about the current status of their phones.
The latest mobile update was the version WW-18.1055.2201.203 with the January 2022 security patch; one already totally obsolete as it is six months old. And while you may be annoyed that you haven’t updated your phone with its security patches to avoid vulnerabilities, it’s not that updates are released periodically.
In other words, before this March 2022 update, the previous one was on December 9. Just before the periodicity was in a monthly updatebut since December it seems to have gone quarterly.
And we are talking about an Android terminal with a price of 1,299 dollars which promised regular updates when it launched. Something that is far from what was promised, so we understand that its owners are starting to be on a war footing.
From the same reddit one user associated with ASUS, the internal person in charge of its manufacture for Qualcomm, maintains that another update will arrive on the 20th of this month. It remains to be seen when they will be updated to Android 12.
