Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Android 5.1 and Android 5.0 Lollipop Update Guide

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 owners have been on the lookout for any news on the Android 5.1 update for the device. However, it appears that Samsung has not made any moves yet about the latest Android firmware. Nonetheless, users can still stick to the Android 5.0 Lollipop update until there are further details about the Android 5.1 edition.

Amidst speculations that Samsung will be bringing the Android 5.1 update to the Galaxy Note 4, SamMobile notes that there are no builds yet concerning the firmware. In fact, the website clarifies circulating rumors saying: “Well, thanks to our insiders, we can confirm that this rumor is as baseless as rumors that have come before. Our sources tell us that Samsung is not working on Android 5.1 for any of its devices at the moment, let alone the Galaxy Note 4.”

“There is also no word of the company bringing the latest version of its UX to the Galaxy Note 4 with Android 5.1 – that is sure to disappoint owners of the device, but as it stands right now, the Note 4 should be staying on Android 5.0.x for the foreseeable future (though we sure are hoping Samsung can push out Lollipop for the fourth-generation Note flagship to more regions as soon as it possibly can.)" The website also counters claims made by YouMobile saying that information provided are not concrete enough.

As for the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, AT&T has started pushing the firmware to its Galaxy Note 4 line. The update offers changes like "reactivation lock" and "find my mobile." To check manually, people can go to their settings > about phone > software update page. Changelog according to AT&T include:

· Android 5.0 (Lollipop)

· Service additions:

· Find My Mobile

· Reactivation lock

· Stability improvements

People under different networks should check with their provider. Some may receive early access or late depending on their region.
