Asus ZenFone gets Android 4.4 KitKat
Asus ZenFone users will be happy to know that there is a new firmware update rolling out, which upgrades their system to Android 4.4 KitKat. Well, so far, the upgrade is only relevant for the ZenFone 4 and ZenFone 5, while the biggest of the trio – the ZenFone 6 – only has a small update, addressing system stability improvements. We suspect that it will be getting some KitKat goodness soon, as there doesn't seem to be a reason for Asus to skip it.
The new firmware brings improvements to Miracast's compatibility and some new functions, such as a Do Not Disturb Mode; Call Guard (Chinese and Taiwanese models only); full dual SIM standby (for dual SIM models); filter effects for videos; and "Reply via Call-in SIM card " - a function that will, supposedly, automatically pick the right SIM card to make the call with, though, not much information is given.
