ASUS has started the process of providing the Android Lollipop update to their mid-tier smartphones, including the ZenFone 4, ZenFone 5 and ZenFone 6. The updates will bring all of the devices up to Android 5.0 Lollipop.
The ZenFone 4 update is version 7.3.3 and is available both over-the-air or as a direct download. The ZenFone 5 update is also available OTA and mirrors the update for the ZenFone 4 as well as another version of the ZenFone 5, model A500KL, which received the update back in April.
Owners of the ZenFone 6 will have to do a little work or be patient as the update for that device is currently available only through a manual install. However, ASUS expects the OTA to commence in the next few days.
According to the changelog info for the updates, ASUS decided to drop a few apps that had previously been pre-installed. These include a battery widget, Google Text-to-Speech, and Magic Smoke wallpapers. According to ASUS, these apps had compatibility issues with Lollipop.
