The company announced that it has started rolling out the Android Pie update to the Zenfone 5 Lite on its official Zentalk forum. With this, Asus has finally decided to bring a major OS update on a budget smartphone. The new Android Pie update comes with firmware version number 16.0610.1905.79. The post share by the company says, “Since the server pushes update notice to different serial numbers by batches, it may take some days for you to receive the FOTA notice.” If the users have not received the new firmware update, they can manually update it by visiting a link provided by the company. To check for updates, users can go to Settings and then tap on ‘System updates’. This will show if there are any updates that can be downloaded manually.
