[News] Unwrapping A New Android Lollipop Update

Android 5.1 has started to roll out to devices today, namely the Nexus line of devices. This new update improves stability and performance issues, plus offers a couple of new features like support for multiple SIM cards, Device Protection and HD voice-calls for compatible phones.

The new features mentioned above can do the following:

With Device Protection, your lost or stolen device will remain locked until you sign in with your Google account – even if someone resets your device to factory settings. This feature will be available on most Android phones and tablets shipped with Android 5.1 in addition to Nexus 6 and Nexus 9.

High Definition voice calling is now on your mobile phone. Get crystal clear calling with HD Voice between compatible Android 5.1 devices like the Nexus 6.

Android 5.1 Lollipop also provides enhancements such as the ability to join Wi-Fi networks and control of your paired Bluetooth devices directly from Quick Settings.

Yes, this is just an incremental update to Android Lollipop, however, some of the latest smartphones (ahem Galaxy Note 4) are still on Android 4.4!

Get a move on phone manufacturers please!
