The joy of receiving the latest software update is next to upgrading smartphones. While Google annually releases big OS updates, many OEMs delay rollout to their respective phones due to various reasons, including customisations to individual ROMs and device eligibility. If you're using one of Asus smartphones, there's a good chance you'll receive Google's latest Android Pie update this year.
According to Asus, several ZenFone smartphones will be updated to Android 9.0 Pie this year and the company published the complete list of eligible phones on its official forum, Zen Talk. Asus Zenfone owners can check if their smartphone will be updated to Android Pie in the coming months below:
