Android 5.1.1 rolls out to Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Value Edition

Samsung continues to bump up its smartphones, new and old, with Android Lollipop. The latest recipient of Google's front-line build, the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, is the Galaxy Grand Prime Value Edition, which hit the market in October last year. Users in Poland and Panama who rock the 5-inch device will be able to upgrade it to the hottest version of the software classified as G531FXXU1AOF7 and G531MUBU1AOFB, respectively.

The download prompt for the 730 MB update should now be popping up on the handsets. Owners can also go ahead and check for the update manually by simply navigating through the phone's settings and system updates. If Android 5.1.1 Lollipop shows up, then it can already be downloaded.

With the improved software on board, the device should be more stable and more powerful. Google threw in a slew of much-needed bug fixes to pull that off and a more enhanced security system for better protection. On the visual side, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop changes things up in the interface in the lockscreen and notification tray but nothing too ostentatious. 

The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Value Edition is Samsung's way for penny-pinching users to get their hands on a Grand Prime. It has a Marvell PXA1908 rather than a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410, and the CPU switched from Andreno 206 to the price-appropriate GC7000. 

The rest of the specs remain unchanged but users of the Galaxy Prime Value Edition scored bigtime with Android 5.0 Lollipop straight out of the box. When its standard version came out, it only had support for Android 4.4.4 KitKat and with Samsung silent about its plans for a Lollipop update, it looks like the device won't be getting a sweet treat anytime soon.
