Asus is finally rolling out the Android 10 update for its last year flagship smartphone, the Asus Zenfone 5Z. Launched in July last year, the device ran on ZenUI 5.0 that was based on Android 8 Oreo and earlier this year, it was updated to Android 9 Pie. Announcement of the new update rollout was made via Twitter and as expected, the new patch brings quintessential Android 10 features like system-wide dark mode, gesture-based navigation, upgraded privacy and security options, smart app support for messages and more. The new update has a firmware number 100.04.44.98 and is being rolled out in phases.
Even though a notification should automatically pop-up for the update on all eligible Asus Zenfone 5Z units, one can head over to their handset’s settings to manually check for the update. As mentioned above, the update is being pushed out in a phased manner, which means it could take some time for it to be available on your phone. There’s also an option to manually download the update and flash it and you can follow the official instructions here. Do note that flashing a ROM on your phone can lead to it getting bricked and rendered unusable. We suggest you don’t go with ahead with the option of flashing your device in case you haven’t done it before.
