As per the changelog, the update brings the August 2021 Security patch. Asus has added the one-hand mode feature, which was missing with the Android 11 update. They have also added support for dynamic themes which enables support for an infinite number of themes.

Being a staggered update, it may take a few days to few weeks for reaching your smartphone.
