On the connectivity front, the handset comes with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, dual SIM and LTE connectivity. As for the software, the i-mobile iQ II runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, which Google states offers 2x the performance compared to the previous versions of the OS, features a revamped notification system, a new power saving mode, and more. The company also mentions that the handset will receive the next update to Android, though the timeframe of the rollout will depend on i-mobile’s schedule.
