Android 5.1 Lollipop Appears on Android One Devices

The next Android update confirmed as 'Android 5.1 Lollipop.'

Android 5.1 Lollipop will roll out to select devices by the end of February 2015, sources tell Android Pit, with it appearing out of the box this week on select Android One devices.

The first builds of the update are installed on Android One devices reportedly shipping out Indonesia this week. According to Android Pit, the official Android.com Indonesia page displayed the three devices - Evercoos One X, Mito Impact and Nexian Journey - with Android 5.1 Lollipop specified as the OS. At the time of writing, the devices descriptions now states “Android™ Lollipop (and gets the new version soon after it’s released).”

Android devices with the firmware installed are reportedly already hitting markets like Indonesia, Android Police reports, revealing several photos of freshly unpacked smartphones with the OS build.
