Andy version 5.1 has still not been recognized by Google, but it’s already running on a section of devices. A good example are the Android One smartphones being sold in some parts of Asia, including Indonesia and the Philippines. Indonesia’s Android One smartphones, which are part of a Google initiative to make devices cheaper, started getting the 5.1 update of Lollipop at the start of February. Initially, Google had made references to the Android 5.1 Lollipop as the operating system version installed in its Indonesia Android One devices. But this reference was later scrubbed, for one reason or the other.Variants of Android One in the Philippines also come equipped with the Android 5.1 Lollipop, and this trend is likely to unfold in other Asian nations where Android One devices are already availed to the market. Although we have no precise idea how good Android 5.1 looks like, we expect that the same update will roll out to most devices in the course of the year.
