ASUS recently released the Android 9.0 Pie update for the ZenFone 5. The update is available for download on ASUS’ website.
The FOTA ZenFone 5 Android Pie update has a file size of around 1.1GB which you can download through this LINK.
Installation
Installation is pretty straightforward. Download or copy the update file onto a microSD card. Then go to Recovery Mode. To do this, turn off your device and then press the volume up and power button at the same time.
Once in Recovery Mode, choose “apply updates from microSD” option, select the update file, and start the update process.
If you’re not too keen on updating your phone manually, the OTA update should come soon, if its not yet there.
