The Zenfone AR from Asus is one of the highest spec’d smartphones from the OEM. And the specs are for good reason too, as the smartphone features Google’s Augmented Reality-based Tango tech, hence the AR moniker.

Now, the Zenfone AR was announced back in January 2017 and even though it’s yet to hit the market, Asus has already announced an update for the device. The update is seeding as software version 14.1600.1705.16 and includes a ton of changes and fixes.

Well, this is just the first of the many software updates we expect to see arriving on the ZenFone AR and on this page, we have all the details you need to know about the device’s software updates.
