ASUS rolls out an AOSP-based Android 10 beta for the ZenFone Max M2

Following the rollout of an AOSP-based Android 10 beta for the ASUS ZenFone 5, ZenFone Max M1, ZenFone Lite, and ZenFone Live L1/L2, the company is now rolling out a similar beta build for the ZenFone Max M2. The budget-friendly device from late 2018 initially rolled out with a near-stock build of Android 8.1 Oreo and back in April last year, the device was upgraded to Android 9 Pie. And the new AOSP-based beta release, which goes by the software version 17.2018.2002.29, finally upgrades the device to Android 10.

While ASUS hasn’t explicitly listed all the new features packed in the latest beta release, ZenFone Max M2 users can look forward to enjoying all the standard Android 10 features like the system-wide dark mode, new navigation gestures, improved Digital Wellbeing tools with new parental controls and much more.
