Asus is updating its nearly two-year budget phone to Android 10. The Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1, which launched in April 2018, is now receiving an Android 10 Beta in India and France. For a budget phone that’s not part of the Android One program, getting two Android platform updates is indeed great news. However, as the device owners would recall, this wasn’t totally unexpected at all. At the time of launch, Asus had promised to deliver two major Android updates including Android Q to the ZenFone Max Pro M1. The device received the first promised update in the form of Android 9.0 Pie back in April last year. And keeping its promise, Asus is now rolling out the second and final update to the device.

It’s unclear when the stable update will arrive but given the public beta is out now, we hopefully won’t have to wait for too long.
