Asus ZenUI now working with non-Asus handsets

Asus ZenUI

From now on, virtually any handset running Android 4.3 or later can use the launcher previously available only on Asus devices.

Many Android users do not enjoy the looks and capabilities of the default launcher, and so they end up installing a third-party app to take care of this problem. Unfortunately, some custom Android launchers are tied to the devices of a certain manufacturer, for example Samsung's TouchWiz, HTC's Sense, or Asus' ZenUI. The good part is that ZenUI has just become the first such app to become available for any Android handset.

According to 9to5Google, "The ZenUI Launcher found on the ASUS ZenFone now installs on all devices running 4.3 and above." The launcher focuses on themes, customization capabilities, as well as a few smart features. It features both an iOS-style one-layer mode with all apps located on the home screen, as well as a two-layer mode with an app drawer traditionally used by Android. Asus ZenUI also features automatic app grouping, swipe down to search apps/contacts/trending topics, and more.

This launcher offers many features and comes for free, working with any handset that runs at least Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
