The Android 5.1 Lollipop update is available for download through this link. Be sure to have a stable internet connection because the update is sized at 930MB. If you’re on a volume based subscription, be sure to keep note of the almost gigabyte size of package.

We already reviewed the Flare X and it was indeed a promising smartphone. The fresh Lollipop update should do good to the device.

New features that users should expect include:

  • Support for multiple SIM cards – the new update now lets you use more than one SIM card on a device with multiple SIM slots.
  • Device Protection – your lost or stolen device will remain locked until you sign in with your Google account – even if someone resets your device to factory settings. According to the page it will be available on most Android devices that run Android 5.1 in addition to Nexus 6 and Nexus 9.
  • High-definition voice calling – as the name suggests, voice calls should be clearer when two phones running Android 5.1 call each other.

In addition, the update also rolls out enhancements that let you join Wi-Fi networks and control your paired Bluetooth devices straight from Quick Settings.
