Carriers in the United States have gradually been releasing the Lollipop update for their users and today its Verizon’s turn to release Android 5.0 for the Galaxy Note 3. Samsung released said update for the Galaxy Note 3 quite a while back but since carriers tend to delay things, users on Verizon are getting the much awaited taste of Lollipop just now. Big Red has started rolling out the update over-the-air.
Verizon has now updated the support page for the Galaxy Note 3 on its website which confirms that Android 5.0 Lollipop is rolling out for this device. The support page also gives a brief overview of all that’s new in Lollipop.

There’s also a major user interface overhaul courtesy of Material Design. Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface has also been tweaked a bit in Lollipop so that’s one of the biggest changes that users will notice once they install this update.
