Sprint’s LG G3 now receiving Android 5.0 Lollipop
Sprint LG G3 owners better have their phones charged and be near a WiFi hotspot right now: Android 5.0 Lollipop is officially rolling out. Sprint mentioned that the update is going out over the air, but didn’t confirm its size, version number or whether this is a staggered process (it usually is). They did take care to highlight the benefits of updating:
- Material Design for fluid animation, multicolored themes and 3D views
- More efficient battery use
- Android™ TV support
- Notifications on the lock screen and customizable options with prioritized notifications for events, reminders, messages and calls
- Updated Lock Screen features allow users to quickly access notifications and active apps
- Enhanced low vision and color blind capabilities for added Accessibility
- Integrated location menu enables users to easily activate GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks, while simultaneously checking the battery usage of apps running location service capabilities
- Enhanced Messaging with Google Hangouts™ support for SMS and MMS and a larger assortment of updated Emoji icons
- Upgraded Google Mobile Service™ apps automatically back up photos and video and can open, view, rename and share Google Docs and files
We’ll be searching for more info about the upgrade, but in the meantime be sure to head to the Settings > About Phone menu on your phone if you’re looking to pull it down. Don’t forget to come back and let us know how you’re liking Lollipop once you’ve installed it.
