Asus has now confirmed that it won't be updating the ZenFone 4 to Android Pie. The company says that it has taken this decision to preserve the system performance and stability. Asus had rolled out Android Pie beta earlier this year for ZenFone 4 s, bringing in hope that the phone will get the update, but now the company confirms that this beta update will not be ed with future updates either. Understandably, ZenFone 4 s are visibly unhappy with this announcement

The Asus does not have plans to further upgrade Android 9 (Pie), but will continue to maintain in Android Oreo.”

The forum post says that while it hasn't rolled back the Android Pie beta, and s are still welcome to it, the beta build "will not be ed with routine updates." This is unfortunate given that competitors have been actively rolling out Android 10 to eligible old devices, while the Asus ZenFone 4 will be stuck with Android Oreo. s are visibly unhappy on the forums thread, expressing their disappointment in comments.

Asus needs to understand the importance of software , and falling through on with promised releases. Having said that, rolling out an update and hindering the performance of the phone isn't the most feasible option, and Asus appears to have chosen longevity over a promised software rollout for the ZenFone 4.
