Micromax Canvas A1

Micromax Canvas A1 Now Receiving Android 5.1 Lollipop Update



Google’s Android One program was designed to bring the latest version of Android to a group of smartphone users that aren’t normally used to having such a thing made easily available.  Entry-level smartphones priced around $100 generally tend to ship with older versions of Android, even if they are only one version outdated, and don’t often receive any kind of updates thereafter.  Android One brings great hardware to users who don’t see the value in a more expensive phone or don’t have the means of affording a more expensive phone, all while receiving the latest updates straight from Google.
The program started off in India with the launch of the Micromax Canvas A1, Spice Dream Uno and Karbonn Sparkle V.  The program has since expanded to six total countries including Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, the Philippines and Sri Lanka, and covers nine total devices.  Curiously enough the phones that launched in Indonesia just a few weeks ago came preloaded with Android 5.1 Lollipop, a version of Android that hadn’t even been announced yet at the time much less released for any other devices.  Now that it’s finally been announced and sent to all Nexus devices, it looks like the rollout to Android One devices may have just started as well.
According to one Micromax Canvas A1 user the Android 5.1 Lollipop update has indeed begun its over-the-air rollout in India (or where ever you may be using the Micromax Canvas A1).  The update, labeled as LMY471, comes in at 409.8MB and updates users to the absolute bleeding edge of existing versions of Android.  The Micromax Canvas A1 shipped with Android 4.4 KitKat and this update to Android 5.1 Lollipop shows Google’s great support for the Android One program.  Besides having great specs and an overall great user experience for the price, as we noted in our review of the phone, getting the latest updates straight from Google really adds to the overall value of the device.  If you haven’t seen the notification on your Micromax Canvas A1 go ahead and head into the system settings, about phone and check for updates.  Once it’s ready in your region you’ll receive the notification and the update process should begin automatically.  As always feel free to report in and let us know about your experience with the latest version of Android!

Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of  10 free call apps  to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz. The test method For our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result. Bo...

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks With $149 Windows 10 Laptops Despite a lacklustre start, Chromebooks are becoming relatively popular in the super-budget end of the portable market. This has worried Microsoft for some time. After all, with a Google-centric experience, not to mention an operating system in the form of Chrome OS, there’s little if anything to be gained here by Microsoft and everything to lose. That’s why it’s targeting the Chromebook specifically, with a most likely Windows 10-based  $149 laptop. They’re no MacBook killers and don’t expect them to play GTA V, though  (when it finally makes a PC appearance that is). According to tech rumour site www.Digitimes.com , these laptops are geared primarily towards emerging markets, education and the super-low end market, which includes users whose tasks are limited to web browsing, word processing and social media use. The Chromebook has gained traction in quite a few areas and Micros...

Spartan Vs. Rest!!

Spartan For many, it’s not exactly a confidence booster that Microsoft’s forthcoming new browser will be a “Windows App,” rather than a traditional desktop application. It sports the characteristic borderless frames and blockily minimalist aesthetic, and the overall impression is of a stripped-down, simplified version of IE, according to an initial appreciation by Network World’s Howard Wen. ( "First Look: Microsoft's new Spartan browser for Windows 10" ) But, in a lot of ways, that’s probably a good thing – Chrome’s got a very similar look and feel, and it’s doing pretty well for itself. Spartan appears as a Windows app Chrome So what about the browser Spartan’s trying to knock off of its perch? Chrome’s still got major advantages over the rest of the field, including a perceived performance edge, simple and elegant design, and tight integration with Google’s wildly popular web services like Gmail. Simplicity is key for Chrome For the moment, those features...
