ASUS ZenUI Launcher now compatible with any phone running Android 4.3 or higher
August 03, 2025
In the early days of Android, OEM-created UX skins were perhaps a “necessary evil” in the eyes of some critics. Google’s own OS had far less usability solutions than it does today, meaning that TouchWiz and its irk provided some clear and sincere “value added services”. Defenders often point out, for example, that Samsung had a brightness slider and quick setting toggles on the notification shade ages before Mountain View ever got inspired.
While some argue that stock AOSP is still lacking in some regards making Nexus devices “boring” and passable, the anti-alteration iteration proclamation has seemingly picked up steam, as both Samsung and HTChave trimmed layers of lard from their OS skins in the past year or so. And yet, launchers are as popular as ever. HTCmay be working on mass marketingits own, but ASUS has beat it to the punch.
The ASUS ZenUI launcher is available to any and all Android phones running version 4.3 or higher, and allows users of any OEM hardware to get the look and feel of a ZenFone product. As per ASUS’ app page, the features and functions are as follows:
While some find ASUS phones to be overly bogged down in clutter and UX mess, others find them to be rather…Zen like. Given the fact that the launcher is entirely free to try and use, there is seemingly no harm in downloading it to see what there is to say. Perhaps it will have some elements that even the most skeptical user really appreciated. For what it’s worth, the feedback on the Play Store is overwhelming positive, with 5/5 being the current winner.
