Android 5.0
Lollipop has been already officially released for most of the high end Samsung
branded devices out there, which means that from now we should see further OTAs
rolled out for the budget friendly and mid range Android powered smartphones.
And among these devices we must mention the Galaxy S5 Mini, which will
apparently receive the Lollipop treatment starting from April 2015.
Of course,
other companies and manufacturers already pushed Lollipop OTA for their mid
range handsets (for example Motorola for its Moto E smartphone), so as usual
Samsung is somehow left behind. Anyhow, the Android 5.0 updates will be
released starting from Q2, as the firmware will then embrace almost all the Samsung
branded phones out there.
Now,
according to Samsung France the Galaxy S5 Mini will start receiving official
Lollipop notifications starting from April. Of course, the exact release date
is still unclear as Samsung didn’t mention something to rely on. However, keep
in mind that the general time line is set for Q2, so the OTA might be pushed
out even in June.
Moreover, as
we already know, the Lollipop firmware will be rolled out in phases and
gradually, just like any other OTA launch. Thus, your Galaxy S5 Mini might
embrace the Android 5.0 flavor sooner, or later – the notification will be
displayed automatically on your device, while you can manually check for
updates by heading towards “menu – settings – about phone – software version –
check for updates”.
