Screenshots show Android Oreo might be heading to the ASUS ZenFone 3 & 4 soon

Taiwanese company ASUS has promised it would be bringing Android Oreo not just to its current generation ZenFone 4 line but also to its predecessor. They didn’t specify though when the updates will be coming. ASUS ZenFone Blog obtained screenshots though that show what the ZenUI will look like with Android Oreo. It’s not much different with how the current ZenUI looks like but you get a new pull-down notification shade and icons in the settings menu. We can’t say yet what else they plan to add but we can expect the update to bring features like better background app management and picture-in-picture mode. ASUS has promised it’ll cut back on bloatware with Android Oreo, by how much we can’t say yet. For now, we have to wait for the update to come.
