Back in November Asus reported that the Zenfone 5Z would be their initial phone to receive the Android 9.0 Pie update, On the other hand, appears to be that the Taiwanese firm was forced to swap its aims and an improve for the flagship won’t come until January 2019. Presently, in a twist of events, the usual ZenFone 5 is receiving the promised slice of Google’s Pie.
Last week, the formal Android Pie improve for the usual ZenFone 5 model flowed out online, which is probably the reason that forced Asus to put it on its web, now everyone will be able to download it from a trustable source. Worth noting that this improve is referred only for the ZE620KL model, so don’t try to flash it on an additional variant.
Unfortunately, Asus won’t be releasing this improve via OTA for now, Therefore the only way to have Pie on your ZenFone 5 is downloading it on the company’s website and manually flashing it. The update weighs in at 2GB and contains a lot of improvements, UI changes, and Google’s latest security patch.

If you’re good with Oreo, you can yet wait for Asus to start rolling out this improve over the air, however as stated noted, we have with no idea when that will happen. For currently, users of the ZenFone 5Z will have to wait a bit far more for the most recent flavor of Android, we just hope that Asus fulfill its promise of offering the improve for the handsets introduced in 2018.
