ZenFone Max Plus M1 Oreo update

  • Android 8.1 Oreo released on 14 November 2018

After nearly a year of waiting, Asus has finally released the update to Android 8.1 Oreo for the ZenFone Max Plus M1. The update also comes with a new Android security patch for the month of October 2018.

ZenFone Max Plus M1 Pie update

  • Android Pie update not expected

Given that an update to Android Oreo would be its first and (perhaps) the only major OS upgrade the ZenFone Max Plus M1 ever gets, we don’t expect an update to Android 9 Pie officially. Whether the Android development community will be generous enough to give us a stable Pie-based custom ROM for the ZenFone Max Plus M1 remains unknown, but we hope so.

You can keep an eye on the page below for any updates in the future.

    After updating my max plus to Oreo, why is it I encounter problem with its signal?? Everytime I open its mobile data, it losses its signal. That’s my major problem so far with this new update. Please fix this.
    Thank you for considering my concern.
