Asus released the Android 8.0 Oreo software update for its ZenFone 4 Pro (ZS551KL) smartphone, which is scheduled to roll out via FOTA update during this week.

The Android 8.0 Oreo update was pushed by Asus on March 12, 2018, and it's tagged as version V15.0410.1802.34. It won't be available for all ZenFone 4 Pro (ZS551KL) users at the same time, so you'll need to keep checking for updates under Setting -> About -> System Update until you see the Android Oreo update.

Besides being based on Google's Android 8.0 Oreo mobile OS, the new software update for ZenFone 4 Pro (ZS551KL) smartphones comes with power consumption improvements, a new "Long screenshot" function, as well as the PlayTo function, which replaces the Cast function used in previous versions.

Also, Asus says that users will notice some important changes to the launcher, such as the ability to swipe up to view all installed apps, as well as to change the default "all app" icon, after they install the Android 8.0 Oreo software update on their ZenFone 4 Pro (ZS551KL) smartphone.

Because you'll finally be able to enjoy all of its awesome new features and enhancements, including the ability to minimize background activity for apps you don't use very often, smart selection of text when you tap or select, and support for using Android Instant Apps from your web browser.

Additionally, Android 8.0 Oreo features Picture-in-Picture (PiP) support for videos, notification dots so you never miss what's important to you, a fully redesigned emoji set, adaptive icons for a more consistent look and feel, better privacy and security, as well as support for Autofill to remember your logins, with your permission.

Google's Android 8.0 Oreo mobile operating system also keeps hostile apps from running on your smartphone without your permission, as you can now allow the installation of unknown APKs per-source.
