New ZenFone 5Z Android 10 update fixes PS4 handle in remote games & Bluetooth music issues; Redmi 8 gets January patch

The stable ZenFone 5Z Android 10 update rolled out in late November last year. Before the incoming update, the device had only picked up a single update back in mid-December, tagging along November security patches.

Today, the ZenFone 5Z Android 10 firmware is getting a bump to a newer build number 100.10.107.46, up from the previous 100.04.44.108. As you can see from the change in version numbers, it’s a significant jump.

However, the story isn’t necessarily the same when it comes to the changes bundled in the update. As it stands, you only get fixes for issues where users are unable to use PS4 handle to play PS4 remote games, excessive battery draining, and the killing silence when playing music through Bluetooth.

1. Fixed the issue that user can’t use PS4 handle to play PS4 remote games
2. Fixed power consumption issue
3. Fixed silent issue when using Bluetooth to play music
