14 DAY TRIAL // T-Mobile customers who own the Galaxy Note 4 or the Galaxy Note edge will be pleased to know that the Magenta carrier has finally started the rollout of Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for these two smartphones.
Back in September, the US-based carrier announced a new video calling service, which is only available for selected smartphones.
Initially, T-Mobile's video calling service powered by VoLTE (voice over LTE) was only available to customers who own the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5.
However, the carrier promised that more smartphones would be added on the compatibility list in the coming weeks.
The new Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note edge also adds support for T-Mobile's video calling service for both smartphones.
According to T-Mobile, beginning November 30, both Samsung high-end smartphones will receive a software update to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop baseband version N915TUVU2COK2 (N910T3UVU1DOK2 for Galaxy Note 4).
As mentioned earlier, the operator confirmed this update provides Advanced Messaging and T-Mobile Video Calling.
Battery life and performance improvements have been added, too
Aside from that, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop also brings some security improvements and under-the-hood bug fixes and tweaks.
