Micromax Canvas A1 (Android One) gets Android 5.1 Lollipop


One of the first three Android One phones, the Micromax Canvas A1 is now on the receiving end of the Android v5.1 Lollipop update.

To ensure usersĀ receive the update on your phone, they need to go into the settings and manually check for an OTA update. Micromax recommends having at least 30% battery so the device doesn’t die during the update.

The phone comes with a 4.5-inch FWVGA screen and is powered by the MediaTek MT6582 SoC, yesteryear’s budget poster chipset. Aside from that, the phone has 1GB of RAM a 5 mega-pixel rear camera, a 2 mega-pixel front camera and lastly, a 1700mAh battery.

If you don’t remember, Android v5.1 Lollipop brings in some native changes including support for dual SIM, HD voice calling and more. Besides these features, the ROM is expected to have some Micromax specific features which should make the device more stable and the operating system, more optimized.

The Canvas A1 is the world’s first MediaTek phone to get the Android v5.1 Lollipop update if I’m not wrong!

    The first Mediatek phone with Lollipop 5.1 is the Indonesian’s Android One.
    Mito Impact, Evercoss X One and Nexian Journey One.
    And it’s already 5.1 from out of the box, not OTA updates
