A new update has started rolling out for Nexus 5. Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for Nexus 5 is expected to be a bridge between Lollipop and the upcoming Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Nexus 5 is set to receive a new software build, as announced by T-Mobile. The new update seems to be part of Google's monthly security update policy. It appears to be the first of the recently announced monthly updates after the discovery of the Stagefright vulnerability, which alarmed the entire Android community.
Nexus 5 Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update has a build number LMY48M. It pertains to all the Nexus devices, but the carrier specific version of the Nexus 6 is an exception. The update can be checked in the user's settings, but most users will probably see it through prompt in Nexus' notifications.
However, there is nothing much to expect in this update. It is said that Android 5.1.1 Lollipop build is not feature-rich and no new updates are anticipated. It is just a small update that is aimed at solving some security issues with Android. Since it is just around 16MB in size, the user won't really take long to download and install this new build.
As this new Nexus 5 Android 5.1.1 Lollipop build comes with security patches and some unspecified minor bug fixes, it might be helpful and worth it for the users, especially those who are very much concerned with device security. Conversely, this update could be the final Lollipop build that rolls out to the Nexus 5 as a new operating system is on its way.
Google is expected to release its newest OS, the Android 6.0 Marshmallow later this month. All Android users and spectators should watch out for it and witness its arrival during the September 29th event in San Francisco. All rumors and predictions will finally be answered when this day comes.
