ASUS Android 5.0 Lollipop Upgrade Plans Leaked Online

Chinese website Sogi leaked the Android 5.0 Lollipop upgrade plans by ASUS which noted six mobile devices getting the next generation Android OS starting on April of 2015. Devices named on the list are Zenfone 4, Zenfone 5, Zenfone 6, Zenfone 5 LTE, Padfone S and Padfone Infinity A86.

ASUS Padfone Infinity A86 is a smartphone having 5.0 inches of display screen and full HD resolution. It runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean factory OS and was released in October 2013 - unlike with other devices on list released this year - which probably why ASUS set the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for it on June instead of April 2015.
