Asus has announced that it is rolling out an update to all ZenFone Max Pro M1 3GB RAM and 4GB RAM users, and the update brings electronic image stabilisation (EIS) and live wallpapers. The update will roll out in a phased manner, and is coming to both 3GB RAM and 4GB RAM variants. In October, Asus had rolled out EIS video support for the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 6GB RAM variant, and had then promised that it would roll it out for the 3GB RAM and 4GB RAM variants as well.

The Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 FOTA version WW_Phone-15.2016.1810.337-20181106 finally brings along EIS for the 3GB RAM +32GB storage and 4GB RAM + 6GB storage variants. It brings along live wallpapers for the two variants as well. As mentioned, Asus notes that the update is rolling out in a phased manner, which means that not all users will see the update immediately. We recommend all users to check for the update manually in the Settings menu, and update under a strong Wi-Fi connection, and while the phone is on charge (or at least 80 percent charged).

To recall, the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 was launched in April this year. The 3GB and 4GB RAM variants of the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 sport the same dual rear camera setup that has a 13-megapixel primary Omnivision sensor along with an f/2.0 aperture and a 5-megapixel secondary sensor. While all the variants didn't have EIS out-of-the-box, the 6GB RAM variant started receiving a software update in October that brought along the support for electronic image stabilisation (EIS) to enhance video results.
