The Google Android 5.1 OS update has now expanded and it is available in INDIA for users of Micromax Canvas A1.
According to an official Micromax listing, users of Micromax (an Indian smartphone brand with presence in the US and a number of EU countries) Canvas A1 should notice an OTA notification regarding the Android 5.1 firmware upgrade.
Users of Canvas A1 (model number AQ4501) should notice Android 5.1 bearing build number LMY470.
The above roll-out has been verified by FoneArena, according to which, Canvas A1 users will receive the update in the form of a 410 MB file. However, since the roll-out is expected to happen in a phased manner, Canvas A1 owners will get the update in due course of time.
The FoneArena report also suggests that update would reach users of Karbonn Sparkle V (which comes under Google's Android One initiative).
