Asus ROG Phone II FOTA Update: Game Profile Sharing, Key mapping And More

Asus has rolled out a new FOTA update for the company's most powerful gaming smartphone- Asus ROG Phone II. The new FOTA update adds a number of new features to the gaming handset to improve the overall performance and to further elevate the gameplay experience.

The new FOTA update for the Asus ROG Phone II goes by the version number- 16.0631.1908.12_M3.13.33.28_20190923. It seems that the new update will be rolled out gradually during the course of a month as we haven't got the notification on our ROG Phone II review unit.

The company also hasn't released any information related to the size of the new FOTA update for the gaming handset. However, Asus has released a changelog for the new FOTA update.

The changelog is as follows:

• Armoury Crate - Added AirTrigger, Key mapping and macro customisation options for Game scenario profiles, and sharing game profiles with other ROG Phone 2 users

• Bluetooth Calls - Added options to switch between connected Bluetooth audio devices on the fly directly on the call screen

• AirTrigger 2 - Now launch any app by long squeezing or short squeezing the device.

The aforementioned FOTA update suggests that the 'Armoury Crate' will receive several new features. The air triggers 2 will now support key mapping and the ROG Phone II users will be able to share game profiles with other ROG phone II users. The game profile sharing seems quite useful. It can help ROG Phone II users build a game community to step up the gameplay experience on the ROG Phone II.

With the new FOTA update, the ROG Phone II users will also be able to launch any app on the handset by just squeezing the edges of the handset. Besides, the new update will also allow users to seamlessly switch between connected Bluetooth audio devices directly from the call screen.
