Why can't we get the new zen UI 6 on zenphone 5z like Zenfone 6

[Sajjad_Ali]

I have already got a pie update on my zenphone 5z, my friend bought a Zenfone 6 it is also having Android pie out of the box but feels more like stock Android and my phone doesn't..
I request please update Zenfone 5z with the Zenfone 6's new UI.
And if u can't then tell us why?

Zenfone 5z will be updated to Zenui 6 based on Android Q

But Zenfone 6 is not based on Android Q...?

We can find Q version for ZenFone 5Z now. I think ASUS will allocate their resource to develop Q instead of maintaining P version.

As we've mentioned before , changes to ZenUI for each phone generally follow their major OS updates.
ZenFone 5Z is planned to get an update to Q - any changes to ZenUI for 5Z would happen in conjunction with that. ZenFone 5Z can join the Google Q beta now.
How ZenUI will look in 5Z is not set in stone, we will update more as we get more information.
