The Asus Zenfone 6 starts receiving Android 11

Asus is a brand that in recent months has surprised us a lot in Spain. Although at some point the company seemed to be adrift, its focus on the high-end and adapting its software to a much cleaner version of Android has been very interesting to us.

Although it is far from being the first to update, Asus has just begun the deployment of Android 11 for which it was one of its flagship phones of 2019, the Asus Zenfone 6, an update that in addition to the improvements of the new version of Android includes some own changes.
