Zenfone 2 is a pretty robust device specs-wise and deserves to run Marshmallow by now. But hell, even Lollipop Android 5.1 is not out yet for the device, hence users can’t be hoping for the Marshmallow from Asus just yet.
But thankfully, the Marshmallow builds are available already for the device, thanks to independent developer made custom ROMs.
The most popular custom ROM is CM13, and others are based on that only.
We’ve covered the Zenfone 2 CM13 as well as other popular options lie BeanStalk and Resurrection Remix.
