Verizon LG G3 Gets Android 5.0.1 Lollipop OTA Update



Hello to all Verizon LG G3 owners. We have great news for you guys. The LG G3 Android 5.0.1 Lollipop update is finally being pushed to users by the folks at Verizon. Even though the carriers haven’t updated their support page yet, many users are reporting that the new software update is hitting their devices.
The new LG G3 Android 5.0.1 Lollipop update has software version number VS98523A and, as usual, it’s being rolled out in phases. For what it’s worth, Verizon is the third US-based carrier to push the Lollipop update to their G3 variant, after Sprint and AT&T already rolled out the new software update.
As I was mentioning above, we are dealing with a staged roll out, meaning that some of you would have to wait longer than others. As soon as your LG G3 becomes eligible to receive Android 5.0 Lollipop, you should be able to notice a system update message in the notifications bar. All you need to do is tap on it and follow the on-screen instructions. In case the system update notification failed to appear, you would also want to perform a manual check under Settings > System updates > Check for new system update > Check now.
Since we are dealing with a major system update, expect the update file to weigh in at over 600 MB. We are recommending you to download it using a stable Wi-Fi network to avoid unwanted data charges.
I remind you that Lollipop is the most major update Android has received so far. It arrives with a new design philosophy called Material Design, multi-user support for phones, better battery statistics, ART instead of Dalvik, lock-screen notifications, dynamic status bar, redesigned recent menu, Screen Pinning, Smart Lock, and more.
