Android 5.1 Lollipop Update Rollout Announced for Spice Android One Phones

The domestic handset brand however has not revealed the changelog for
the update. It notes, "The Android Lollipop 5.1 update is the latest
version of Android operating system and offers a significantly
improved smartphone experience with an enhanced visual appeal, user
interface and general improvements in system stability."

Both Spice Dream Uno and Spice Dream Uno H ran Android 4.4.4 KitKat
out-of-the-box.

So far there has been no official announcement regarding the rollout
of Android 5.1 Lollipop; though Google released Android One
smartphones in Indonesia running Android Lollipop build 5.1
out-of-the-box.

A leaked changelog for Android 5.1 tipped that the build brought
improvements corresponding to bugs that were reported since Android
5.0 Lollipop release: addition of silent mode; improvements in system
stability; improved RAM management; fixes for sudden app closures;
improved battery management; excessive consumption of network devices
when used Wi-Fi fixed; fixes for issues with wireless connections;
fixes for Ok Google function; fixes for notifications problems; some
sound problems experience by certain devices fixed, and changes in the
Material Design colour palette.

Android One phones in India started receiving Android 5.0 Lollipop
update in the last week of February. Despite Google's promise to
deliver the Android updates soon after they are released to Android
One phones; the company has disappointed consumers with months of
delay in Android 5.0 Lollipop update.

Last month, Spice Mobility launched its new Android One smartphone in
Indonesia, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

Commenting on the rollout of update, Prashant Bindal, CEO, Spice
Mobility Ltd said, "In line with our brand promise "Always the
latest", we are delighted to be the first player to release the
Android Lollipop 5.1 update, exclusively for our Spice Dream Uno users
in India."
