LONDON: Good news for UK Samsung Galaxy S5 owners, that Samsung has rolled out the latest Android flavor for its flagship smartphone.
That’s right Samsung has started to roll out the latest Android flavour Android 5.0 Lollipop for Galaxy S5 in UK.
The update already rolled out in Poland, Russia, Malaysia, and Spain, the upgrade finally lands in the United Kingdom.
Oddly, the Korean company’s latest Lollipop firmware for the Galaxy S5 is still based on Android version 5.0 (LRX21T), while all of its other flagship devices are internally being tested with a newer Android base — Android 5.0.2 (LRX22G).
Nevertheless, Android 5.0 is still Lollipop and it brings in a plethora of new features and enhancements. With Lollipop, Google introduced new design guidelines, which forced Samsung to completely redesign its proprietary applications (dialler, messaging, calculator, clock, S Health, etc) from scratch – they are also a bit inspired by Google’s new Material design as well – and improve its core user interface.
The update also brings features like lockscreen and heads-up notifications, MirrorLink support, Tap & go (automatic setup assistant), ART runtime, and more.
The firm has also improved fingerprint sensor by using a new driver, and has also ported Note 4′s fingerprint lockscreen to the Galaxy S5.
You can update your Galaxy S5 using two methods: Kies or Samsung’s FOTA (Firmware-Over-The-Air) service. To update your device via Kies, connect your device to your computer and use Samsung Kies 3. If you don’t like wires and stuff, you can use the FOTA method.
To download and install the firmware via FOTA, go to settings > system > about device > software update > update. For advance users, all latest Android 5.0 Lollipop firmware files are available for download on our firmware section.
