Micromax Unite 2 To Get Android 5.0 OTA

Micromax (MMX) has confirmed that the Unite 2 will receive the latest sweet from Google - the Android 5.0 Lollipop next week. The firmware update, which is likely to start rolling out to users all over India starting Tuesday promises to bring new features, more stability and security to the Micromax device. MMX has also informed that the new price of Unite 2 after it starts receiving the Android 5 will be Rs. 6299, as against Rs. 5944 on #-Link-Snipped-#. Unite 2 was launched back in May last year with Android 4.4.2 and has sold over 15 lakh units so far, the company informed.

Micromax Unite 2 was quite an awesome offering for the price. It was company's first phone to support over 20 languages through its multilingual package, called Reverie. Micromax had its Moto E competitor with the Unite 2 and the phone did quite well in the competitive markets. Unite 2 offers 4.7" LCD, touch-enabled display, a 5 MP primary shooter on the rear side, a 2 MP selfie-camera on the front and offered Dual SIM (GSM+WCDMA) support. The entire unit is powered by a 2000mAh battery pack.

So far, Micromax has not provided any release notes about the 5.0 Android upgrade. We do not know what all goodies from Lollipop will eventually make it to the Unite 2 hardware; but we can definitely expect to see the Material Design (GUI), a better notification system, better keyboard accessories support, better camera features et. al.

In order to update your phone's software, you will have to head over to your phone's settings->software update section. The firmware is being released over the air (OTA) and you are advised to update it by connecting your phone to local wi-fi connection. Typically, the firmware upgrades are several hundred MBs in size and that may end up consuming a whole lot of your 3G data. Do share your upgrade experiences with us.
