Asus back in February announced that it will roll out Android 6.0
Marshmallow update for several ZenFone devices. The Taiwanese company has started
rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for the ZenFone 2 Laser
and ZenFone Max smartphones. Notably, all the variants of the ZenFone 2
Laser featuring a 5-inch, 5.5-inch, and 6-inch displays will receive the
update.
The company announced the news via its official ZenTalk
forum and confirmed
that the over-the-air (OTA) rollout may take up to one week to
completely "auto push" to respective devices. Asus ZenFone 2 Laser and
ZenFone Max users can manually check for Android 6.0 Marshmallow update
via Setting > About > System Update.
The release note says
that the update brings Android 6.0 Marshmallow, apart from
other features. The update for the ZenFone 2 Laser and ZenFone Max also
removes several preloaded apps such as Asus Email, Asus Calendar, and
Asus Messaging. Asus suggests users to use Gmail, Google Calendar, and
Google Messenger for relevant services.
The company however warns
users that Android Marshmallow won't support transfer of apps to microSD
card. "Please move apps to internal storage before system upgrades,"
notes Asus.
To refresh on some of the features of Android 6.0
Marshmallow (previously just Android M) include revamped app
permissions; Google Now on Tap feature; new Chrome feature that will
change the Web experience for Android users; New Silent feature for
sound and vibrate mode as well as a 'Do Not Disturb' mode to block all
sounds or only alarms and notifications, new RAM manager, adoptable
storage devices, new app drawer, auto backup, and restore for apps, and
battery saver features called Doze that will make Android devices smart
about managing power.
