Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE - Lollipop Update.

[Anonymous]

So my Tab S updated to Lollipop a few hours ago - so I thought I would do a first glance review.

In terms of performance I notice no difference from kit kat 4.4.2 - all seems very smooth as you would expect from this high end device.

First thing I noticed was the lock screen layout has changed with the time and date now centered in the middle of the screen.

Nothing has changed on the main screen in terms of looks and layout.

When you pull the notifications down from the top you can see they have changed.

The window only pulls down as far as there notifications to display and doesn't appear to show the network, and these are displayed on white tiles - each can be individually dismissed as before.

The look and feel of the settings and other windows has changed to a white back ground from the dark background of 4.4.2 - it looks a lot cleaner in my opinion.

When you click on the task manager button the layout of the tabs has changed

You can now flick through the tasks and the scroll in what I call carousel style. The advantage of this is tasks become bigger as they move nearer the main position so it's easier to see what's what - as before you can dismiss tasks individually by swiping the tile to the left or the right.

And that's about it so far - first impressions, it looks very nice and doesn't appear to impact performance.

Over the next few days I will keep an eye on the battery life etc and delve deeper into what Lollipop has to offer on the Tab S.

I'm not sure what I've got other than its a Samsung tab but code is SM T520 and it's not on lolly though my s5 I think updated very quickly though I reckon I did it through kies ( with a lot of bad language accompanying it ) I haven't really used my android devices properly as I'm an apple girl but I do want to learn a bit so you'll see me pop into the android threads.

You have a Galaxy TabPRO 10.1 WiFi - as far as I can find out so far there is no info when lollipop will land for that device.
