With the launch of the Zenfone 6, Asus ventured into the bezel-less display game. The phone not only came with flagship specs but also rocked a motorized 180-degree flip-up camera that helped extend the screen-to-body ratio to 92%. The Taiwanese manufacturer has now started pushing an update to Android 10 to the Zenfone 6 (Asus 6Z in India).
The announcement comes just days after some units of Zenfone 6 in the US, and India started receiving the update. The Android 10 update gives you new features like Dark mode, improved Gestures Navigation, better Sharing Menu, Live Caption, Bubbles, better Permissions management, Accent Colors and Themes, and more.
