Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 is easily one of the company's most popular budget smartphones in recent times and it is nice to see Asus continue to provide timely support for it. It's just begun rolling out a new firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) update which brings the January 2019 Android security update and some system stability improvements to the smartphone. Asus has made it a point to state that the update will be rolling out in batches, so in case you don't find it for your smartphone, just be a little patient and it should show up soon.

This update for the ZenFone Max Pro M1 (Review) doesn't add many changes like the previous version, but it's still significant. The big addition is the January 2019 security patch, which addresses system and kernel vulnerabilities along with others which may affect certain Qualcomm components. The update is also said to offer system stability improvements.

The new software update for the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 carries the FOTA version ‘OPM1.WW_Phone-15.2016.1811.338-20181206.' The Android version will continue to be Oreo as Asus is expected to only release the Android 9.0 Pie update in February, possibly around the time of MWC 2019.
