Samsung Note 4, Galaxy S6, and Galaxy S6 Edge all have received Android update, and they all signify big. One is considered a milestone, the other an update every Android device user needs, and another upgrade meant for major camera boosts.
Let's begin with the update every Android, not only Samsung, device user is wishing to have: the memory leaked bug fix. Both the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge show problematic memory management capabilities which the Korean tech maker acknowledged and now has resolved through the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update. The update has been rolled out via OTA for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge Vodafone subscribers in UK.
Samsung has not revealed much information about the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update for European Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge models, but GSM Arena reported with a video accompanying its claim that the update has made the devices snappier, thanks to the general performance improvements.
Another update with overall performance characteristics is also said to be arriving for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, and this time it is set for general roll-out. The upcoming update with the build number XXU1AOE3 aims to improve the fingerprint scanner and compatibility with a number of accessories as well as tweaks the interface in a few of Samsung's own apps. A fresh, new feature in the Photo Editor app is also said to be arriving along with this update. Reports, however, have not mentioned about the memory leaked bug fix that the previous version with XXU1AODG build is said to have resolved. Other Android phones that encounter the same memory leak bug include the Nexus 5, Moto G, among others.
Owners of Galaxy S5, Galaxy S6, and S6 Edge also have something to look forward to as the Android 5.1.1 firmware upgrade for these three Samsung devices will receive major overhauls particularly in the camera department. New camera features that are expected to come along with the upgrade include support for full Google camera application program interface (API) on Android Lollipop, RAW shooting support and shutter speed control.
T-Mobile has just released the Android 5.1.1 firmware, but subscribers must not expect to have the anticipated camera features just yet. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S5 has recently received the factory reset version of the Android 5.0.
Lastly, T-Mobile released the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Samsung Galaxy Note 4. This marked the complete list of five major US carriers to provide the Android update to its subscribers.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5, and Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge all have received interesting Android Lollipop update recently. Brace for more Android updates as the Korean tech maker seems to be keen in bringing real performance improvements to their devices through Android Lollipop upgrades.
