Ulefone had claimed that they would release Android 5.0 at the end of February. However, the company reportedly faced some issues in development and it was not as smooth as expected. Hence, Ulefone had to delay the launch of the new Android Lollipop update.

At present, we have come across some videos which show that selected users are testing out the Android 5.0 update for Ulefone Be Pro. So, we could see the Lollipop update pretty soon.

Even Ulefone’s official mutual help group has confirmed this news. In fact, it is said that Ulefone is now busy fixing BUGS in the update.

So, those who are worried about the Android 5.0 Lollipop update on their Ulefone Be Pros, we guess you need to be a little more patient. The company has said that a beta version of the Android 5.0 update for the device will be released as soon as next week. So, the final launch should be close by.

Ulefone Be Pro was one of the popular Chinese handsets in the past few months. The device sports a design like the OnePlus One and even features great specs for its sub $170 price tag. In fact, one of the highlights of the Ulefone Be Pro was its Android 5.0 Lollipop. The Be Pro was one of the first Chinese handsets to promise Lollipop to users and it looks like they will get the update pretty soon.

We don’t think this is a big delay since there are many big manufacturers who have not yet released Android 5.0 updates for their flagship products. But its good to see that the Ulefone is ready to provide an update of how things are going at their end.

And after this official news, we feel that you could get the Android 5.0 update on your Ulefone Be Pro real soon.

Back in December, Ulefone Be Pro smartphone made headlines because of its high-end specs and the latest Android 5.0 update which was promised by the manufacturer. As a result, many people bought this new device. In fact, the company reported last month that it sold over 10,000 units of the device in the past few weeks alone. While everyone marketed the device as Android 5.0 Lollipop smartphone, the phone actually shipped with the old Android 4.4 KitKat version.

However, a recent video uploaded online has revealed that the Ulefone Be Pro Android 5.0 update is almost completed. The timing is in line with what the company promised. It earlier said that the phone will get the update in February /  March of 2015. So, its not surprising that the Android 5.0 update is almost ready.

Ulefone official released a video of preview of Ulefone Be Pro equipped with Android 5.0. Ulefone take the leading position, become the first one to adapt to Android 5.0 among Chinese domestic brand manufacturer. In the past weeks, lots of manufacturers highly promote that their models adapt to Android 5.0, but there are not any actual photos or video released till now.

But Ulefone official state that this version Android 5.0 still exists several bugs, parts of functions still need to be tested. As per current progress, Android 5.0 is really coming soon. While users will be excited to hear the news, we expect the update to roll out only after a few days, since the existing bugs need to be fixed. Its always better to get an (almost) perfect update rather than a buggy one which will adversely affect the performance of the device.

After this news we are sure that the lollipop update will induce even more buyers to purchase this popular device.
