The Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Asus ZenFone 5 has been delayed by 3-4 months, reveals the Taiwanese company.
Asus
India once again confirmed the Lollipop update delay in a Facebook
post, and said the update for the Asus ZenFone 5 can be expected to start
rolling in next 3-4 months, or roughly in August/ September.
The
Asus India Facebook page while replying to a user query about Lollipop
update for ZenFone 5 said, "It will be released in a span of next 3-4 months! We regret the
inconvenience caused to you."
The company first promised the
Android 5.0 Lollipop update for its first-generation ZenFone smartphone series in mid-May. Asus
however confirmed delay in Android 5.0 Lollipop earlier this month
update rollout to the ZenFone 4, ZenFone 5, and ZenFone 6 smartphones
due to issues in verification. The Taiwanese company had however not
revealed details about an imminent release date for the update.
Considering
that the company had suggested issues in verification for all three
(ZenFone 4, ZenFone 5, and ZenFone 6) smartphones, we expect the Asus
ZenFone 4 and Asus ZenFone 6 to receive the updates in the same period.
Earlier
this month, Asus had also confirmed
delay in the Lollipop rollout to the Asus PadFone S, which was
expected to receive the update in mid-May.
As of now, the
LTE-variant of the ZenFone 5 has only received the Android 5.0 Lollipop
update. To recall, the Android Lollipop update for the ZenFone 5 LTE was
around 820MB in size and upgraded Kindle, Asus Webstorage, and Super
Note apps. It also brought new lockscreen which removed standalone
wallpaper and weather details (1G RAM variant only); a change to the
quick settings/recent app layouts (1G RAM variant only); revamped
Dialler and Contacts; removal of in-call animation and cover; addition
of My Ocean wallpaper, Day Scene Live Wallpaper, TripAdvisor, and Asus
Auto-start Service Manager app, and auto-start service manager, as well
as improved VOIP phone call function and music function.
