Android 5.0 Lollipop for Verizon's Samsung Galaxy S5 now available
Verizon Wireless appears to be the very first US mobile carrier to roll out Android 5.0 Lollipop to the Samsung Galaxy S5. The update (build VRU1BNLC) is being pushed starting today, February 2, so you should be on the lookout if you own a Verizon-branded Galaxy S5.
Interestingly, it seems that the full update process is comprised of two software packages that will be downloaded over the air separately (the first package preparing the S5 for the second one, which includes Lollipop).
Since Lollipop for the Galaxy S5 was released in other parts of the world earlier this month, we already had the chance to compare the new UI with the old, KitKat-based one - check it out here. As you may know, Android Lollipop brings many novelties, including Google's Material Design, enhanced notifications system, Recent tabs, and so on.
In the near future, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge, Galaxy Note 3, and Galaxy S4 should also be updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop in the US.
