Galaxy Tab S 10.5 Gets Lollipop On Verizon

Galaxy Tab S 10.5 owners who got this tablet through a carrier have waited for quite some time even though the tablet’s Wi-Fi only variant received the much awaited Lollipop update back in March. Following the release of said update by T-Mobile and AT&T, the country’s largest mobile carrier is jumping on the bandwagon as well. Galaxy Tab S 10.5 gets Lollipop on Verizon today.

Samsung’s support website has been updated to reflect that said update is being rolled out for the SM-T807V, which is the Verizon variant of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. This means that it shouldn’t be long till Verizon starts the over-the-air roll out.

Software version T807VVRU1BOD2 will be rolling out for this tablet today and will update it to Android 5.0.2. It’s going to include everything that you will expect to find in a Lollipop update, such as the new notifications experience, Material Design UI, performance improvements and much more.

We know from previous updates that this release is going to come in around 1GB so it’s imperative that the update is downloaded on a Wi-Fi connection.

Verizon is yet to update the support page for this tablet but it shouldn’t be long before that happens as well, one thing’s for sure though, it’s sending out this update for the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 today.
