The ZenPad S 8.0 Z58C tablet gets the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update which basically removes a bunch of pre-loaded apps that might be considered as bloatware. The release notes lay out a few words of caution before users can install the new update. For starters, the tablet won’t support APP2SD feature and requires the users to move all apps to the internal storage. Also, do not delete the user account for if you do that then your tablet may not let you add multiple user accounts.
The most interesting bit is ASUS finally acting up against the bloatware apps and will remove quite a bunch of them post the update. Post that, the users might see a real difference in performance when the tablet’s software version moves from Lollipop to Marshmallow.
Firmware Version: V5.4.3.0
