Verizon
Samsung Galaxy S5 owners, we have great news for you! The carrier has announced
that the Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 Lollipop update is now being pushed to
users.
Verizon is
the first US-based carrier to roll out the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for
Samsung Galaxy S5 which is a bit odd, given that Big Red is known to be a bit
behind the curve when it comes to software updates. As usual, the Samsung
Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 Lollipop update is being rolled out in phases, which
means that some of you would have to wait longer than others before being able
to download and install the new update.
After your
smartphone becomes eligible to receive the new software, you should be able to
notice a system update message in the notifications bar. Tap on it, choose
‘Download now’, wait until the download is completed, then select ‘Install
now.’ Your smartphone should reboot and install the new firmware. In case the
system update notification failed to show up, you would also want to perform a
manual check under Settings > General > About phone > Software updates
> Check for software updates. Alternatively, you can grab the USB, connect
your terminal to the PC, and check for the update via KIES.
According to
Verizon’s support
PDF, the Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 Lollipop has
software version VRU1BNLC. Of course, the update brings Material design
with fluid animations and 3D effects and shadows, bolder colors and new toggle
button style, along with lock screen improvements such as Phone and Camera
shortcuts, lock screen notifications, the ability to set priority and privacy
level for notifications on lockscreen, and TouchWiz tweaks. The new software
update also introduces the document-centric recent menu, and the
new Interruptions mode.
