14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung Galaxy Note 4 owners, it seems your week is about to get a lot better. After months of waiting and hoping, your favorite tech manufacturer appears to have finally started rolling out the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop update for your new handset.
According to Sam Mobile, the new build is hitting users in Poland, so if you’re located in Europe, it shouldn't be that long before you received the much-hoped-for notification.
As we mentioned before, the new build is based on Android 5.0.1 which is not the latest version available given the fact that Android 5.0.2 has made its way to a slew of Nexus devices.
But taking into the consideration that Google has quietly made Android 5.1 official through a bunch of postings on its Indonesian Android One page, Samsung’s next update for the Galaxy Note 4 might skip the 5.0.2 version.
Android 5.0.1 finally arrives on the Galaxy Note 4
Anyway, going back to the current update, Android 5.0.1 for the Galaxy Note 4 (Exynos model) brings a new look and feel, faster performance, lockscreen notifications, improved battery life and other specific Lollipop-goodies you have been craving for all of these months.
The update is yet to be made available on Kies, so for the time being the only way to get the official Lollipop on your Galaxy Note 4 is to wait for the OTA to reach you.
Or if you feel like taking the pro-active route, you can go ahead and go to Settings > About phone > Software updates menu and tapping on the Check now button.
Samsung might not have been among the first manufacturers to pick up the Android 5.0 Lollipop update as companies like Motorola and LG beat it to the punch.
However, the Korean tech giant seems to be doing everything in its power to catch up. The device maker has rolled out similar updates for the Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4 and now the Galaxy Note 4.
We expect that more Samsung handsets will be updated in the near feature. Moreover, the latest hearsay claims Samsung is also working on a Lollipop update for its premium AMOLED tablet duo, the Galaxy Tab S.
