Android 13 系統已正式推出了一段時間，在八月尾時 Asus 亦為旗下 ZenFone 9 電話開設了 Android 13 Beta Program 讓用家參與率先體驗新系統。經過約三個月時間，Asus 正式為 ZenFone 9 推出 Android 13 系統升級，ZenFone 9 亦是 Asus 旗下首部獲得 Android 13 升級的裝置。
還有多項自家改動
今次 ZenFone 9 系統升級除了有 Android 13 的改動外，亦有不少 Asus 自家的改進包括：自家Apps Mobile Manager, Local Backup, Weather 等改進, Asus Launcher 增設Link Quick Share, 增設 Asus Customization Preferences Setting, 電源開關選單設定移除 Calm, Elegant 選項並增設 Display Item Management, 修改 Phone App 設計讓畫面資訊更清楚等。
ZenFone 9 Android 13 的 Firmware 編號為 33.0804.2060.65，Asus 表示會分階段向 ZenFone 9 裝置推送更新，用家可能還需等一些時間才會收到。安裝 Android 13 系統前建議先會裝置內的重要資料備份，而 Asus 亦提供選項容許用家將 ZenFone 9 從 Android 13 系統 downgrade 至 Android 12，但裝置需要重設並清洗內裏的資料。
