Xolo, a part of Lava International, is on its way to become the first Indian handset player to provide over the air Android Jelly Bean 4.1 update for its smartphones.
Spokesperson of Xolo Mobiles said to The Mobile Indian, “We will be releasing the Android Jelly Bean 4.1 update in next few days for some of our smartphones and it will be available over the air. We don’t want our smartphone users to waste their time and energy in first locating the nearest center and then getting their smartphone upgrade when technology can do it remotely.”
