Android 5.0 Lollipop Update for T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4 News: Gets Technical Approval
Owners of Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 just got some good news after T-Mobile senior product manager Des Smith said that the Note 4's Android 5.0 update finally got technical approval, and is expected to commence rollout next week, as reported by AndroidAndMe.
"This just in!! Technical Acceptance on #Note4 Lollipop software update achieved! Should start to rollout next week! Woot woot!" Smith tweeted.
While the T-Mobile executive gave no specific rollout date, this should be welcome news for Note 4 owners under the service provider.
As noted by the report, several other Note 4 variants, like Sprint, AT&T, U.S. Cellular, and Verizon, have already updated to Android 5.0, and it appears that subscribers to T-Mobile will only have to wait a few more days to have it on their own smartphones.
Android 5.0 features enhancements to Wi-Fi calling, which basically entails more stability. There will also be a refreshed version of Samsung's TouchWiz, with a cleaner and far more modern design. As mentioned by another report by AndroidAndMe, apart from the software design, which will be the most noticeable with its beautiful, more seamless experience, another important improvement will be to the smartphone's battery life.
The update wouldn't be the latest one, with the latest version of Android being 5.1.1, so Droid Life warns that users getting the update could possibly run into some issues.
As reported by Tech Times, who has been following users who have already had the update to Android 5.0 on their Note 4's, numerous complaints have been received in Australia after the update rolled out.
Tech Times also notes that among all other smartphone manufacturers, the Galaxy Note 4 appears to be experiencing the most performance issues after upgrading to Lollipop.
But this is a different carrier in T-Mobile, and basing from Smith's enthused tweet, subscribers should save some optimism when the update finally hits their phones.
