Android 13 系统已正式推出了一段时间，在八月尾时 Asus 亦为旗下 ZenFone 9 电话开设了 Android 13 Beta Program 让用家参与率先体验新系统。经过约三个月时间，Asus 正式为 ZenFone 9 推出 Android 13 系统升级，ZenFone 9 亦是 Asus 旗下首部获得 Android 13 升级的装置。
还有多项自家改动
今次 ZenFone 9 系统升级除了有 Android 13 的改动外，亦有不少 Asus 自家的改进包括：自家Apps Mobile Manager, Local Backup, Weather 等改进, Asus Launcher 增设Link Quick Share, 增设 Asus Customization Preferences Setting, 电源开关选单设定移除 Calm, Elegant 选项并增设 Display Item Management, 修改 Phone App 设计让画面资讯更清楚等。
ZenFone 9 Android 13 的 Firmware 编号为 33.0804.2060.65，Asus 表示会分阶段向 ZenFone 9 装置推送更新，用家可能还需等一些时间才会收到。安装 Android 13 系统前建议先会装置内的重要资料备份，而 Asus 亦提供选项容许用家将 ZenFone 9 从 Android 13 系统 downgrade 至 Android 12，但装置需要重设并清洗内里的资料。
