Asus Starts Rolling out Android 8 Oreo Update to ZenFone 3 Laser, ZenFone 3 Zoom or ZenFone 3 Deluxe

About a week ago, Asus announced that it will roll out the Android 8 Oreo update to three of it's smartphones. Just as promised, Asus has started rolling out the Oreo update to three devices which are the Asus ZenFone 3 Laser, ZenFone 3 Zoom or ZenFone 3 Deluxe.

As announced by Asus, the Zenfone 3 Deluxe will be the first to receive the update followed by the other two devices. Keep in mind that the update arrives for the ZS550KL model, the ZenFone 3 Deluxe variant that sports a 5.5-inch display, not the ZS570KL model that includes a slightly larger 5.7-inch screen.

Asus also published the official ChangeLog which includes the some major improvements as well as newly added features and I have listed them below;

>> Upgrade to Android O.
>> Remove third-party App: TripAdvisor, Puffin Browser, and Kindle.
>> Remove Do It Later, Mini Movie, Quick Memo, PhotoCollage.
>> Move FM Radio function to quick settings.

>> After OS upgrade, in order to enter “All Apps” menu, use “swiping up” gesture to do so. Original “All Apps Icon” can be moved or changed.

The update is expected to take about a week before it gets to all Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe users, but none the less, you can manually check if the update is available for you by going to your Phone's Settings >> About >> System update and try to update manually.
