ASUS has launched its own beta program called the Beta Power User Program for users to run a beta version of its software. The program has been opened for owners of the Zenfone Max Pro M2 and allows them to run a beta version of Android Pie.
The ZenFone Max Pro M2 launched in December but ran Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box. It also launched with October’s security patch. An update it received a few weeks later brought software improvements and November’s security patch.
Now, owners of the phone who can’t wait for the official Android Pie update can run a beta version by signing up for the beta program. However, there are some things you need to know before joining the program.
ASUS says it will not provide a downgrade service for beta power users. So if you update to a new version of the beta software and run into issues, you can’t roll back to an older version. The only solution is to opt out of the beta program. Also, as this is a beta software program, expect bugs and stability issues.
Below are the requirements for joining the program:
- Owning a ZenFone Max Pro M2 is crucial
- Willing to provide information including IMEI, Serial Number (SN), Current Firmware for the beta test setting
- Be familiar with the Android operating system
- Be able to read and provide feedback in English
If you meet the conditions, head here to enroll for the program.
