  2. Why are there 2 files listed with different sizes? Is one the update (121 MB) and the other to be installed after as a hotfix (23 MB)?

    • Currently, we don’t have full ROM file. So Yes, first you have to install the 1.5.0 on your device. After that install the OTA file to update it to 1.5.1
