Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2 Android 10 AOSP developer version beta update released (Download link inside)

Users of the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2 have been a rather frustrated lot for the past couple of months. These users have been eagerly awaiting an update to Android 10 for their devices but all they’ve been getting from Asus are the runarounds.

A few weeks ago, we saw the rollout of a Beta build for the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2. Of course, there is also an AOSP Android 10 build for the ZenFone Max Pro M1 but that is a story for another day.

Today, Asus is rolling out a Beta version of Android 10 AOSP developer build for the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2. This build is also being released as a Stable Developer version so it might not exactly be ready for all users.

So what’s coming to the ZenFone Max Pro M2 with this release? Well, below is the update changelog,

1. Android 10 upgrade.
2.Please be aware that installing this system image on a device removes all personal data from the device, so please remember to back up your data first.

3.This is the Android 10 AOSP developer version, so the user experience will be different from Android 9. If you are used to and prefer using Android 9, we recommend that you continue with the Android 9 version.

4.Updated Android security patch

5.Fixed fingerprint cannot be set issue

6.Fixed latest Android P image cannot upgrade to Android 10 issue
