At first, it was only confirmed for selective Sony, HTC and Motorola devices, but according to sources familiar with SamMobile, Samsung Galaxy S5 is expected to get the Android 5.0 Lollipop update by December.
Earlier this month, there was a leaked video which suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S5 was running Android L. If
the news of it coming out in December is true, then Android lovers can
be rest assured of some interesting features to be added to their
devices.Android Lollipop 5.0 is
supposedly the biggest update to Android since the Android 4.0 Ice
Cream Sandwich. Android 5.0 also brings in a few other features such as
material design, multiple device compatibility, lockscreen
notifications, support for 64-bit processor along with file sharing
through Android Beam. It is also expected that the battery life on Samsung Galaxy S5 will see some improvements with the Android 5.0 Lollipop update...
As seen in the video above, Samsung
hasn’t given up on its TouchWiz UI. However, there are several
similarities between Google’s Android L and what Samsung’s device is
running. While Samsung’s built-in apps have been designed to follow the
Material Design guidelines, the Settings menu is now white and not blue.
Samsung’s lock screen shows only two notifications, compared to four
seen in the stock Android OS. Samsung has also built a clipboard tool
for history of screenshots and copied text, a feature usually available
in custom ROMs.
Motorola has confirmed the
Android 5.0 update to a majority of its phones available in the market,
including the Moto X (1st Gen. & 2nd Gen.), Moto G (1st Gen. &
2nd Gen.), Moto G with 4G LTE, Moto E, Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx, and
Droid Mini. Sony’s Z series smartphones and tablets will be among the
first devices to receive the update. “We’ll be making Sony Mobile’s
Android L upgrade available for the entire premium Z series: including
Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1S,
Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia
Z3, Xperia Z3v, Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact.” Sony
announced on its website. The Sony Android 5.0 update will only come out in early 2015...
