It has been waiting, but last minute problems have not prevented what we were all waiting for: Google has just confirmed the beginning of the distribution of the Android 5.0 Lollipop update among its Nexus range devices. In this way, the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 around the world will receive a new update via OTA in the coming days that contains the most recent version of the Android operating system, Android 5.0 Lollipop. According to some American media, the first to update will be the Nexus 5 and Nexus 10, while the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 apparently they will have to wait a few more days to receive the same update.
Since the update is being distributed via OTA, the steps to follow to download it manually from any Nexus device are the following:
- We enter the Settings application of our Nexus.
- We access the " About the device " section.
- Click on the option " Operating system updates ".
- And finally, click on the " Check now " button. In the event that the Android 5.0 Lollipop update is available for download, the terminal will show us all the steps to follow. It is recommended to carry out this procedure with more than 70% autonomy and using WiFi connectivity to download the file.
According to the users who have already been able to download the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Nexus, the file containing this version occupies an approximate space of 389.2 MegaBytes.
Since both Nexus mobiles and tablets are products that are under the control of Google, the file that the owners of these devices are receiving corresponds to an interface layer that incorporates all the new features of Android 5.0 Lollipop in its original version, without subsequent touch-ups from any manufacturer. This translates into new products such as a minimalist interface a new notification center a new universal battery saving mode a new user profile option, greater security and many other changes.
Although Google has complied with the rumors that the Android 5.0 Lollipop update would be distributed on November 12, it has finally been the American company Motorola that has taken the lead today by distributing this update in the second Motorola Moto G generation. And furthermore, the South Korean company LG has also joined this race stating that it will update its flagship, the LG G3, to Android 5.0 Lollipop in a matter of days. All other manufacturers (Samsung, Sony, HTC, etc.) will not distribute this update until well into next year 2015.
As indicated by the American company Google itself, the dessert is served .
