ASUS has started rolling out Android Pie for the ZenFone Max Pro (M2) in India, but, before you head over to the Settings menu to check for the update, let us tell you that this is not a stable build. It’s actually the beta build.
Yes, ASUS has announced the Android Pie beta program for the ZenFone Max Pro (M2), and, those who want to check out Android Pie can enroll in the beta program by clicking here. But, do note that beta builds aren’t as stable as the official builds. They often come with bugs and issues that hamper usage. Furthermore, ASUS will not provide downgrade service for those enrolled in this beta program, unless they quit the program.
Now that ASUS has rolled out the Android Pie beta for ZenFone Max Pro (M2), the stable build should roll out soon, but we don’t know how soon will ASUS be able to do that. So, unless you are willing to enroll in the beta program, you will have to make do with Android Oreo.
