Here is some good news if you own a Zenfone 5 and have been waiting for Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA update. ASUS is rolling out the Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA update to Zenfone 5 A500CG / A501CG models.

The OTA update Version WW_3.23.40.52 (Android Lollipop) is approximately 700 MB in size. This update brings Lollipop to ASUS Zenfone 5. The upgrade though removes some pre-installed apps as listed below due to incompatibility issues.

Some new apps and features are added with this upgrade such as SuperNote, Asus web storage , Remote Link, lockscreen etc. The full list of change-log and download details can be found here.
