Here, we’d like to share tutorial on how to upgrade your infinix hot note x551 to lollipop OS. Please note that we are strictly based on the hot note device here (not Hot Note Pro).

We have also been able to upgrade infinix Zero 2 x509 from Android KitKat to 5.1 lollipop and we will be sharing a tutorial on that very soon.
