ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 (Z500M) gets Android 7.0 Nougat OTA
When Corbin reviewed the ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 — whoa, that's a mouthful — at the end of 2016, he called it the iPad Air running Android. The display and speed impressed him, but one of his major complaints was the software: both the added ASUS customizations and the fact that it ran Marshmallow gave him pause before recommending it. At the time, ASUS said that Nougat would come to the tablet, but wasn't sure when.
Well, it's now 6 months later and the ZenPad 3S 10 is finally getting Android 7.0 Nougat. Not 7.1 mind you, but it's Nougat nonetheless. The update brings multi-window, bundled notifications and quick replies, customizable multi-page quick settings, new Unicode 9.0 emojis, and removes some pre-loaded content but in true ASUS fashion adds other things instead. Here's the full changelog:
