Android 5.0.2 lollipop now available on the nexus 7 and nexus 10

It first became available on the Nexus 7 (2012), and this time the US company Google has just updated its official page to announce that the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update is now available on Nexus 7 (2013) tablets.) and Nexus 10. This update can only be downloaded as an image (that is, a file to be installed on the tablet from the computer), although it is expected to start being distributed as an OTA in the next few weeks.

The Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update has been developed by Google with the aim of correcting once and for all the problems that the first two Lollipop updates (Android 5.0 and Android 5.0.1) have generated for some users. This new distribution of the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update makes this version of the Android operating system available at the moment for the Nexus 7 (2012) in its WiFi version, the Nexus 7 (2013) in its WiFi version and the Nexus 10. In all cases we are talking about updates that, in the absence of distribution viaOTA, at the moment they can only be downloaded from the Google website.

And what about smartphones in the Nexus range (Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and Nexus 6)? At the moment there is no reference to the date on which it could begin distributing the update of Android 5.0.2 Lollipop among mobile range Nexus from Google. The most recent version available to the owners of these terminals is Android 5.0.1 Lollipop, both in the case of the Nexus 4 and Nexus 6 and in the case of the Nexus 5. This release apparently fixes WiFi issues,battery problems and performance issues RAM that seemed to be experiencing these devices after the first update to Lollipop, so it does not seem that Google has special urgency to launch a new update.

How to download the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update

To download the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update on the Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 you just have to follow these steps:

1. We enter the official website of Google updates by following this link: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images.
2. We look for the model of our Nexus tablet in the list, we check that the version of “ 5.0.2 ” appears in the table and we click on the “ Link ” link. It is very important that we make sure that we are downloading the file corresponding to the exact model of our tablet, since otherwise we run the risk of completely blocking our device.
3. Once the file download is finished, the only thing left is to install the update on our tablet. This procedure requires advanced knowledge of operating system updates, so any user who does not know how to perform this last step should wait to receive the update via OTA directly on their device.
