Asus Zenfone Devices get the royal treatment of Android 6.0 Marshmallow and becomes one of the first devices in the market to sport Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
ASUS Rolls Out Android 6.0 on it's Zenfone lineup
Asus has announced that it has developed Android 6.0 for it's smartphones and will be launching it in the coming months of march and april as per the device tiers.
We received communication from Asus that they have developed the Marshmallow update and they are very happy with the results.
The Zenfones that will be receiving the Marshmallow update are the following -
- ZenFone 2 (ZE550ML, ZE551ML)
- ZenFone 2 Deluxe (ZE551ML)
- ZenFone 2 Laser ( ZE500KL, ZE550KL, ZE601KL)
- ZenFone Selfie (ZD551KL)
- ZenFone Max (ZC550KL)
- ZenFone Zoom (ZX551ML)
These are the main phones that would be receiving the Android 6.0 Marshmallow Update in march so if you have one of these then you are one amongst the lucky people who will get to see the Marshmallow update first.
But if you don't have one amongst the listed phones above don't worry as we also received confirmation that *Other products will receive the upgrade April 2016 onwards.
The * indicates that some of the Asus family of products will be upgraded but do not hold on tightly as you can also end up not receiving the update and that would be a downer for you.
So let's cross our hands and hope to receive the update.
What to expect when the Android M update is installed on an ASUS smartphone:
Google Messenger, Calendar, and Gmail apps will automatically be included with the Android M update. These apps will replace three ZenUI apps—ASUS Messenger, ASUS Mail and ASUS Calendar—as the default apps in the Android M version of ZenUI if you restore to factory settings after the update.**
** Please note: If you restore to factory settings after the update, ASUS Messenger, ASUS Mail and ASUS Calendar can be downloaded from Google Play.
