Asus ZenFones receive Android 4.4 KitKat update

Asus is currently rolling out the Android 4.4 KitKat software update to its ZenFone series. This means anyone who owns an Asus ZenFone 5 or Asus ZoneFone 4 will be eligible to receive the latest version of Android.

The Asus ZenFone 6 is also being updated, but it isn't getting the bump to KitKat just yet. For now ZenFone 6 users will have to be content with some system stability improvements. We reckon the largest member of the ZenFone family will soon join its siblings in the world of KitKat.

With Android 4.4 KitKat, the ZenFone 4 and ZenFone 5 will receive 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.

Asus warns that downloading the incorrect firmware for your device may cause a system failure. To check the exact model number of their ZenFone, one must go to Settings -> About -> Model number. You can download the proper firmware for your device from the linked page in the source below.
