Micromax on Thursday announced the
Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the
Micromax Unite 2 ( Review | Images ) will
begin rolling out over-the-air (OTA) from
Tuesday. The phone and tablet maker
added that new buyers of the Unite 2
after that date will get Android 5.0
Lollipop preloaded on the handsets,
which will now be priced at Rs. 6,299.
The company also claimed to have sold
over 1.5 million units of the Unite 2 sinc
its launch back in May, adding that this
translates to three units sold per minute.
The Micromax Unite 2 was the
company's first phone to support 21
languages (English, and 20 regional
languages) with its Reverie Multilingual
Pack. At launch, it was priced at Rs.
6,999 - pegged to compete with the
Motorola Moto E - and ran Android 4.4.
KitKat out-of-the-box.
The Micromax Unite 2 smartphone offer
dual-SIM support, and features a 4.7-
inch Bright Graph IPS display with a
480x800 pixel resolution. An unspecified
quad-core processor powers the device,
clocked at 1.3GHz, along with 1GB of
RAM.
The Unite 2 sports a 5-megapixel
autofocus rear camera with LED flash,
while there is a 2-megapixel fixed focus
front-facing camera also onboard. The
handset comes with 4GB of inbuilt
storage, and can be expanded to an
additional 32GB via microSD card. The
Micromax Unite 2 supports 3G,
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS under its
wireless connectivity options. It is
backed by a 2000mAh battery.
Unfortunately, Micromax has not
provided changelog for the Android 5.0
Lollipop update for the Unite 2
smartphone. The update will certainly
feature the changes brought by Google t
the platform, such as the Material Desig
UI; improved notification system; Kill
Switch and improved security; improved
hardware keyboard accessory support
(including support for multilingual, emoji
input, search key, and improved app an
system key chords); improved
accessibility features (such as text
contrast boost, colour inversion, and
enhanced colour differentiation);
improved audio, video, and camera
capabilities, and improved Internet
connectivity everywhere apart from more
powerful Bluetooth low energy
capabilities
