Earlier this week, we heard that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Android Lollipop update would be released for the handset in early 2015. Samsung has already started testing out Android 5.0 on the handset, which is exciting news for Galaxy S4 users who have been eagerly awaiting this update.
Early Build and New Features
Now, the guys from Sammobile have managed to get their hands on an early Galaxy S4 Android Lollipop build, which can be seen in the video below. This early build not only showcases the new features of Android 5.0 but also comes with a revamped Samsung TouchWiz UI.
The new TouchWiz UI in the Android Lollipop build for the Samsung Galaxy S4 is the same one that we saw in the video for the Galaxy S5. This means that Galaxy S4 users can expect a more modern and streamlined user interface, similar to what is available on newer Samsung devices. The updated UI includes a more intuitive design, smoother animations, and a cleaner overall look.
Anticipated Improvements
The Android Lollipop update is expected to bring a host of improvements to the Galaxy S4. These include better performance, enhanced battery life, and new features such as the Material Design interface, which offers a more cohesive and visually appealing user experience. Additionally, users can look forward to improved notifications, a new lock screen, and the ability to prioritize notifications based on importance.
Another significant improvement is the introduction of ART (Android Runtime), which replaces the older Dalvik runtime. ART is designed to improve the performance of apps and the overall system, making the Galaxy S4 feel faster and more responsive. This is particularly important for a device that is a few years old, as it helps to extend its usability and keep it running smoothly.
As yet, we do not have a specific date on when the Android Lollipop update will be released for the Samsung Galaxy S4. All we know so far is that the update will land sometime early next year. This timeline aligns with Samsung’s typical update schedule, as they often release major updates a few months after the official announcement.
What to Expect
As soon as we get more details on when the update will be released, we will let you guys know. Hopefully, Samsung will release some details soon, as many Galaxy S4 users are eagerly awaiting this update. In the meantime, it’s worth noting that the update process can sometimes be delayed due to carrier testing and approval, so the exact release date may vary depending on your location and carrier.
The upcoming Android Lollipop update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 promises to bring a range of exciting new features and improvements. From the updated TouchWiz UI to the performance enhancements provided by ART, this update is set to breathe new life into the Galaxy S4. Stay tuned for more information on the release date, and get ready to enjoy a refreshed and improved user experience on your Galaxy S4.
