After a bit of a longer wait, Asus has finally opened up access to the Android 16 beta. The program kicked off earlier this month with the ZenFone 12 Ultra and has since expanded to include more devices.
Weโve put together a list of Asus phones that are currently eligible for the Android 16 beta program. Check if your device is on the list to get an early preview of Android 16 before the official public release.

Before you sign up for the Android 16 beta program, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Beta builds often come with bugs and unfinished features, so the overall experience might not be completely smooth. Some functions may not work as expected โ or at all โ so itโs best to install the beta on a secondary device rather than your daily driver.
Itโs also a good idea to back up your important data to cloud storage or another device, just in case something goes wrong. One more thing to note: once you install the Android 16 beta, you canโt roll back to Android 15. The beta program will continue until the stable version of Android 16 is released.
Hereโs how you can enroll in the Android 16 beta program on your Asus phone:
1. Open the Settings app on your Asus device.
2. Go to System โ System update.
3. Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner.
4. Select Enroll in Android preview program.
5. Tap Agree and fill out the application form.
6. Finally, tap Submit.
If your application is accepted, Asus will send you a confirmation email, and youโll soon receive the beta update on your phone. You can also manually check for updates via ๐๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด โ ๐๐บ๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ โ ๐๐บ๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฅ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ.
Interestingly, the Asus community beta pages donโt mention any enrollment deadline or a limit on participants, which suggests the program might stay open for a while.
Lastly, keep in mind that the Android 16 beta program is confidential. Asus advises participants not to publicly share any details about the preview software. For bug reports or questions, beta testers will get access to a dedicated board on the official Asus forum.
