Android 5.0 for Samsung Galaxy S4

Anonymous — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:56:42 GMT

This forum will hopefully have some good feedback with everyone at the O2 Community, any questions you got about the near update for the Android Lollipop - my one main question is WHEN!

I personally think when the roll out for UK will be around Feb, but that will prob be the unloacked version first then the carriers will be afterwards, correct me if I am wrong, this is just a guess....

Anyways question or answer here will great.

We don't know if and when Samsung will release it for the S4 yet - It will take O2 a month at least after that.
Chris_k has already said he will update us when he has the info.....

It's been released for the Google Play Edition, but it's anyone's guess when the O2 branded version will get it.

GPE phones are controlled directly by Google (same as Nexus devices) so unfortunately is no indication of when Samsung will release it for their phones 😞

This article seems to suggest early 2015, and there's also hints about the Note 4 too, which I'm sure will be of interest to you @MI5 and to @jonsie

Expectation would be Note 4 and S5 first but it all depends when they plan on releasing S6 as they might hold back until that is launched.....

It will eventually but maybe not in the first round of releases.

I did see that Samsung released a possible timeframe which states is going to be in March 2015 not Feb - (see attached pic) whether that is legit or not is the main thing @MI5

You never know for sure if they are real or not - I've seen a few of those over the years are many are faked although those dates do appear feasible to a certain degree......

Oh I see...I notice my update for Note 3 has been approved and is looking at February 2015

Just hope we get it sooner than expected I want to be suprised by Samsung and O2 (would be ace if O2 could release this before anyone else) would make a massive change!
