The most recent version of Android that is being rolled out to the world is the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop update. New reports are claiming that Google will be rolling out Android 5.1 Lollipop update as early as February and is expected to come with numerous improvements.

What Will Be The New OS Update Called?

TechRadar claims that it tried to get in touch with Google to confirm on Android 5.1. However, the search engine giant declined to comment. With the arrival of Android 5.1, it seems that Google would jumping a full decimal which indicates that it might come out with a new OS name as it has done in the past. Exceptions were seen when the Jelly Bean moniker continued to exist in successive updates like Android 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3; and the Éclair moniker which were also seen in successive roll outs like Android 2.0 and 2.1. So, there is a possibility that Google may continue to stick with Lollipop moniker for Android 5.1.

Android 5.1 Lollipop Features

AndroidPit has already published the changelog of the unreleased Android 5.1 OS. It states that according to one of its sources, the Android 5.1 release date is set for February end. AndroidPit highlights that it is going to be a major update with arrival of new features.

Android 5.1 will bring back the silent mode feature that was removed in the Android 5.0 Lollipop OS. The new build will be even more stable than previous versions. It will enhance RAM and battery management. It will also fix various issues like sudden crashing of apps, wireless connectivity issues, problems with Okay Google, issues with alerts and many more.

AndroidPit states that the original Android 5.0 Lollipop which arrived in October is a great OS update but it did bring along couple of issues. Some of the problems that started cropping up updating on the handsets that were updated with Android 5.0 Lollipop include apps running in the background restarts automatically, inability to establish stable Wi-Fi connection, battery draining issue, video playback issue, no power button menu, missing scrolling preview of alerts and more.
