On the weekend we got to see a video of the Android Lollipop update on the Samsung Galaxy S5, and now we have some more details about the update for another Samsung device, the Galaxy S4.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is expected to get the Android Lollipop update some time in December, and now it looks like one version of the Galaxy S4 will get the update in early 2015.
Details on the Galaxy S4 Update
According to the guys over at Sammobile, the Exynos powered version of the Samsung Galaxy S4, with the model number GT-I9500 should get the update in early 2015, although exactly when the update will be released remains to be confirmed. This update is highly anticipated by users who are eager to experience the new features and improvements that Android Lollipop promises to bring.
The Android Lollipop update will bring a wide range of new features to the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. Some of the key features include a refreshed user interface with Material Design, improved notifications, better battery management, and enhanced performance. Material Design introduces a more vibrant and responsive UI, making the user experience more intuitive and visually appealing.
New Features and Improvements
One of the standout features of Android Lollipop is the new notification system. Notifications are now more interactive and can be accessed directly from the lock screen. This means users can respond to messages or dismiss notifications without having to unlock their device, making it more convenient and time-saving.
Battery life is another area where Android Lollipop makes significant improvements. The update includes a new battery saver mode that can extend the device’s battery life by up to 90 minutes. Additionally, the new battery settings panel provides more detailed information about battery usage, helping users manage their power consumption more effectively.
Performance enhancements are also a major part of the Android Lollipop update. The new ART runtime improves application performance and responsiveness, while also reducing the amount of time it takes to open apps. This results in a smoother and faster user experience, which is particularly beneficial for older devices like the Galaxy S4.
Another exciting feature is the support for multiple user accounts and guest mode. This allows multiple people to use the same device with their own separate profiles, making it ideal for families or shared devices. Guest mode provides a temporary account for someone who needs to use the device without accessing the owner’s personal data.
As soon as we get some confirmation on when the update will be available, then we will let you guys know. The anticipation for the Android Lollipop update is high, and it promises to breathe new life into the Samsung Galaxy S4, making it feel like a brand-new device with its array of new features and improvements.
