Asus has started rolling out the Android 9 Pie update for the  ZenFone 5Z smartphone in India. Asus had spoken about the update way back in November. As per the company, the update has been made available to users via the over-the-air (OTA) mode. Like all software updates, this too is expected to roll out in batches.
