Sprint Releases Android 5.1.1 For LG G Flex 2

The LG G Flex 2 was unveiled earlier this year and Sprint was quick to bring it to the United States, customers were able to pick up this handset from the carrier in March. It succeeds last year’s G Flex and continues down the same road as its predecessor with a radically curved display, which is what sets it apart from the rest. There’s some good news today for those who own this handset on Sprint, the carrier has finally released Android 5.1.1 for LG G Flex 2.

When the handset was released earlier this year it came with Android 5.0 Lollipop preinstalled, it was actually among the very first high-end smartphones to come with the new software straight out of the box.

The software update that Sprint has released today, version LS996ZV, brings the G Flex 2 up to Android 5.1.1 which happens to be the most current version of Google’s mobile platform. It brings various bug fixes and performance improvements, and also adds the Factory Reset Protection feature to the handset.

Sprint has started rolling out the update today but it may take a while for the software to go live for all users across the country, nevertheless it shouldn’t be long till they receive the update notification on their handset.
