In addition to revealing 3 new phones under the Flare line, Chery Mobile announced its software-update plans for 4 existing Flare handsets, namely the Flare X, S3 Lite, S3 Octa, and S3 Power. The said devices will be upgraded to Android Lollipop by November, the local tech company revealed.

In fact, new stocks of the Flare S3 Lite and S3 Power already ship with Android Lollipop installed, I’m told.

The Flare X, S3 Lite, S3 Octa, S3 Power will be upgraded to Android Lollipop by November, the local tech company revealed.

If you can recall, the handsets were launched with Android KitKat in tow, which, at the time, was understandable given the novelty of Android Lollipop.

“Why were these phones given priority over others?” you ask? Good question. Well, it turns out the Flare X, S3 Lite, S3 Octa, and S3 Power comprise majority of the handsets Cherry Mobile sold this year, hence it makes sense for Cherry Mobile to update them first to keep a big chunk of its user base happy.
