ASUS publishes plans for Android 6.0 on its smartphones

ASUS has become the latest company to publish its plans for rolling out Android 6.0 to its smartphones. Unfortunately, while ASUS has posted its plans for Marshmallow, there aren’t many handsets on the list.

Here’s the full list that’ll be receiving Android 6.0:

• PadFone S (PF500KL)
• ZenFone 2 (ZE550ML/ZE551ML)
• ZenFone 2 Deluxe / Special Edition (ZE551ML)
• ZenFone 2 Laser (ZE500KG/ZE500KL/ZE550KL/ZE600KL/ZE601KL)
• ZenFone Selfie (ZD551KL)

ASUS hasn’t providing any timing on when these devices will be getting Android 6.0, but hopefully it won’t be long. While ASUS has published Marshmallow plans for its smartphones, the Taiwanese-based company hasn’t mentioned anything about the latest version of Android for its ZenPad tablet lineup.

In related news, a document recently leaked, showing when the ETA is for Android 6.0 on many of Samsung’s popular Galaxy handsets. An early build of Marshmallow was even spotted running on a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 5.

It shouldn’t be long before Android 6.0 hits these ZenFone and PadFone handsets. Most of these devices are bought off-contract and can be updated directly through the manufacturer over going through the traditional politics and hoops of updating via carriers.
