Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo to get Lollipopped according to Samsung U.K.

A tweet from Samsung U.K. confirms that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo is going to receive an update to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Unfortunately, we have no idea about the timing of the update. But the good news is that those with the phone will eventually find it employing a fresher version of Android than the current build that it is running (Android 4.4.3).

The update will include the Material Design found on Android 5.0, and also includes the 64-bit ART compiler that makes apps open faster. The new build also includes the revamped "Recent Apps" menu, Lock Screen notifications, two finger Quick Settings slide down, and Project Volta for improved battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo features a 5.5-inch 720 x 1280 resolution screen. That adds up to a 267ppi pixel density. The phone is powered by a hexa-core Exynos CPU running at a clock speed of 1.7GHz. The Mali-T624 GPU handles graphics. 2GB of RAM is inside, along with 16GB of internal storage (11GB is available to the end user). For those seeking additional memory, there is a 64GB capacity microSD slot available. An 8MP camera is on back, with a 2MP front-facing snapper ready to take selfies and handle video chats. The 3100mAh battery keeps the lights on.

This will be the second update for the Galaxy Note 3 Neo, which came to market with Android 4.3 pre-installed.
