How to Install Official Android 10 on ASUS ROG Phone II

Hey guys, long time since I have created a How to Article. It’s been a tough time recently for everyone. I hope everyone is taking care of themselves & helping every human in need. Stay safe & please be indoors.

Now let’s talk about Android 10 which was recently released for ROG Phone II, now some people may say that it took a long time. I use ROG Phone II. In my opinion, ROG Phone II is quite extensive when you compare it’s UI & tons of accessories. No other brand has such a superb well researched Gaming smartphone.

There are 2 ways to Install Android 10 on your ROG Phone II.

1. You can wait for the OTA (Over the Air) Automatic update to roll out which might take longer than usual as it’s a major release.
2. You can install it manually with a couple of easy steps.

Installing the Android 10 manually:

Steps:

1. Make sure your phone is on the latest update which is – Version WW-16.0631.1910.64
