Asus Zenfone 5Z Update

Asus has started rolling out an update to the Zenfone 5Z to bump the software to version 80.30.96.111. The update brings both new software features as well as some essential fixes. You’ll get a new Panorama mode for the front-facing selfie camera that will allow you to capture more of the scene. As well as this, there’s also a fix for the battery percentage, and a fix for the face unlock issues that some users have been experiencing.

【Release Note】

• Adjustment battery percentage
• Fix face unlock issue
• Support Selfie Panorama mode

As is the case with updates, the rollout is staged so will be released gradually in batches, which is good as it means everyone will not be downloading it at the same time and hammering the servers. It does, however, mean that despite the update being released, your Zenfone 5Z may not show the update is available. You can go ahead and check manually by going into Settings > System > System Updates and hitting “Check for Updates” to trigger the update and force the server to check for the update.
