[Stable rolling] Asus ZenFone 5Z receives another Zen UI 6 update based on Android 10

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Asus ZenFone 5Z will soon receive the stable update to ZenUI 6 based on Android 10, at least if the latest developments are anything to go by.

The Taiwanese company has been testing the new OS on the device for weeks now, with the first developer preview version having arrived in August. Asus pushed an updated version the following month before coming in with the public beta version a week or so go.

Today, there is a new version arriving for those beta testing the ZenFone 5Z Android 10 update. The new software version is 100.04.44.77, up from the previous version 100.04.44.67 and going by the changelog, it’s here purely on bug-fixing terms.

Below are the bugs the incoming ZenFone 5Z ZenUI 6 public beta 2 update addresses:

1. SD card transmission speed is slow
2. Themes downloaded from Asus Theme Store couldn’t apply to Lock Screen, QS Panel, and Settings.
3. ZenUI Launcher occasionally crashes on recent screen.
4. Battery % icon doesn’t show in the status bar.
5. QS panel swipe down bug.
6. Switching between apps by swiping gesture nav bar, apps may be stuck in half screen.
7. ZenMotion gesture bug.

Since this is unfinished software, those beta testing the ZenFone 5Z Android 10 update have been warned about several known issues in the incoming public beta 2 update.

1. Selecting swipe-up gesture navigation then hide notch function failed.
2. There is no subscription function in the wallpaper slideshow.
3. Background music lag when playing games.
4. Dark mode is gray for the Quick Setting panel but notification still black.

Apparently, the new update bumps the security patch level on the ZenFone 5Z to the latest for the month of November 2019, which is impressive. But as for when the stable version will arrive, it remains a mystery.
