Today we have the latest firmware flash file for the Asus Zenfone 9 AI2202 powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. To install the firmware flash file, we need a software called the QFil Flash tool which can be helpful to flash the stock ROM on your device. The method is simple and easy.
This process is helpful if you have bricked your device, lag, or shuttering performance, to fix Bluetooth and WiFi issues, or to unroot or bypass the FRP lock. So without wasting our time, let’s understand what a stock firmware flash file is.

For handling the graphics-intensive tasks, we have the Adreno 730. The smartphone comes with Android 12 out of the box with ZenUI skin running on top.
In terms of optics, we get a dual camera setup at the rear and a single selfie camera at the front. The dual rear camera setup consists of a 50 MP primary sensor paired with an f/1.9 lens and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor paired with an f/2.2 lens. The selfie camera at the front is a 12 MP primary sensor paired with an f/2.5 lens.
