According to DigiPassion who discovered the fresh software, they were notified by a new version of Flyme OS in their phone. For those unfamiliar it is the company’s own OS that’s layered on top of an Android KitKat. After the 650MB update was downloaded and installed the software version is already Lollipop 5.0.1 (Flyme OS 4.5.1A).
