Nexus 4 owners can finally access the latest version of the Android operating system.

The update is being distributed via OTA, occupies an approximate space of 174 MegaBytes and is now available for download worldwide. The file for this update can be downloaded by following this link:
The Nexus 4 Android 5.1 Lollipop update comes half a month after the updated version of Android 5.1 received by the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 (the first update dates back a few days). It is still too early to talk about how this new update affects the fluidity of the Nexus 4, although we must not forget that the version of Android 5.1 Lollipop that the Nexus 6 received brought with it a significant performance improvement on the mobile compared to previous versions of Lollipop. Beyond the usual bug fixes and performance improvements, the Android 5.1 Lollipop updateit also brings with it a new Device Protection mode (it allows blocking mobile data when it has been stolen) or the renewed support for multiple SIM cards, among other small innovations mainly focused on design tweaks.
The version of Android 5.1 Lollipop that Google has begun to distribute among the Nexus 4 can be downloaded and installed directly from the mobile, without having to go through the computer. To download this update, you only have to access the Settings application, click on the " About phone " section, enter the "System updates " option.”And wait for the mobile to detect the most recent version of the operating system. Although the update does not occupy a particularly alarming space, it is advisable to download it with data connectivity turned off, since in this way we ensure that we will not consume the data rate during the download and installation process.
On the other hand, at the moment there are already rumors that Google is preparing the update of Android 5.1.1 Lollipop for a distribution practically imminent. The information related to this update comes solely from speculation that Android 5.1.1 could fix a new RAM management problem that appeared in the Android 5.1 Lollipop version (which, ironically, was intended to fix performance issues from previous versions of Lollipop). This new update will be distributed first among the owners of the devices of the Nexus range, although GoogleIt has not yet officially ruled on the date on which it will release this version among users.
