ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe and ZenFone 3 Zoom receiving Android 8.0 Oreo update

Taiwanese smartphone brand ASUS rolled out Android 8.0 Oreo update for ZenFone 3 Deluxe (ZS550KL) back in late March. And now, the company has started rolling out the Oreo update for ZenFone 3 Deluxe that has model number ZS570KL. Moreover, ASUS is also rolling out the Oreo update for ZenFone 3 Zoom (ZE553KL) that was launched last year in January.

The Android 8.0 Oreo update that’s rolling out to ZenFone 3 Deluxe (ZS570KL) carries version number 15.0210.1804.47, whereas, the Oreo update rolling out to ZenFone 3 Zoom carries version number V80.20.179.40.

The Oreo update for both these smartphones is rolling out over-the-air, and is pushed in batches based on serial numbers, hence, it will be at least a week before the update reaches all the units. However, for those of you who cannot wait, you can check for the update manually by heading over to the Settings > System menu and tapping on ‘System updates’.
