AT&T Introduces Android 5.1.1 Lollipop For Galaxy S5

I am quite sure that many of us have heard of this particular adage before – and not only once, but many times over already. “Better late than never” can be applied to the Samsung Galaxy S5 that rocks on the AT&T network, taking into consideration how this particular smartphone is now on the receiving end of the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop mobile operating system at long last. Just in case you were wondering, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is the flagship device from Samsung last year, and with Android 6.0 Marshmallow already released for Google’s range of Nexus devices, here we are with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop on the Galaxy S5.

Still, having something is definitely a whole lot better than nothing, and AT&T subscribers who are still using the Samsung Galaxy S5 will have a good time looking forward to this particular update. With Android 5.1.1 Lollipop in tow, this particular update will also be accompanied by Android for Work, a handful of security updates in addition to fixing the Ultra Power Saving Mode for phones via on-device encryption.

Bear in mind that this an over-the-air (OTA) rollout, so if it has not reached your device just yet, fret not – the notification should hit your smartphone sooner rather than later. Those who are pro-active and would prefer to take things into their own hands can always perform a manual check by heading to Settings > About device > Software update. The entire update is best downloaded via Wi-Fi as it weighs in at 610MB thereabouts. [AT&T Page]
