While Android
5.0 Lollipop is already pushed out for different Android smartphones and
tablets, Verizon just released a new official update for its Galaxy S4 devices.
No, it is not the OTA Lollipop roll out you expect, as this time we are only
talking about a minor OS improvement, so KitKat is the common word.
The new
Verizon OTA should embrace your Samsung Galaxy S4 right away, so you can
already check if a new notification is available on your phone. The
notification should be displayed automatically on your phone – just slide down
the notification panel – or you can manually search for the new OTA by going to
“menu – settings – about phone – software update”. If the update is there,
ensure a Wi-Fi connection and follow the on screen prompts to automatically
flash the same.
As already
pointed out, these roll out represents only a minor Android improvement that
should smooth things up on your Verizon Galaxy S4. The firmware should address
issues related to VPN connectivity and intermittent power cycle problem. And
that’s quite all; just these two problems will be resolved by this OTA release,
so don’t expect to receive new features or apps along with other stability
improvements.
Anyway, after
all, it’s good to see that Verizon is still trying to satisfy its clients, even
if it implies in providing such a small update. Of course, Android 5.0 Lollipop
should be also prepared by the carrier as it is quite frustrating to see other
devices receiving the new Android OS ahead of Samsung’s own flagships: Galaxy
S4 and Galaxy S5.
