New Delhi: Tech giant Google has started rolling out Android Lollipop 5.0 software update for its Android One smartphones in India.
An official Google+ post by Google vice president of product management Caesar Sengupta said, “Lollipop rollout has begun for a small number of phones in India and will gradually roll out to others.”
“This is a gradual process and so each week we’ll push the OTA update to more phones selected at random (pro-tip: connecting over WiFi will increase your odds),” he wrote.
