Android 5.0 Lollipop has yet to make it to all capable devices but its evolved version called Android 5.1 Lollipop is all set to make its way to more smartphones. Nexus handsets, having been the first to get a taste of the operating system when it came out fresh last year, are rumored to be at the front of the line again to receive the newer build of Google's sweet new software.
Nexus 7 is expected to get the update first and enjoy the bug fixes it has for the initial Lollipop build. Android 5.0 Lollipop unceremoniously depletes the juice of various devices while other users experience issues on Wi-Fi connectivity when they run the update on their handsets. Without a doubt, the initial version brought in bothersome problems. Good thing Google will take care of all that with 5.1.
Android Police founder Artem Russakovskii dished out that the build should be out later this week at the earliest unless bottlenecks challenge the rollout. His claim comes from the tip of a "solid" insider.
More insight on Android 5.1 Lollipop was brought up by Google Plus member Damian Junior, who posted photos of a supposed Android 5.1-laden Moto G (a dual-SIM version). The images allegedly came from his pal who works for Motorola, and that very friend of his claimed that 5.1 is coming without any sort of bugs to "superior" versions of the aforementioned handset. The photos show that newfound ability of users to change the color of the Dialer.
Rumor mills also claim that Android 5.1 Lollipop will change Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggles on the Quick Settings by having them display nearby Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices instead of the usual Settings. There will also be a new Material look for the menu for creating and editing contacts.
Moreover, it will add the option that says "Until next alarm" on Priority mode, and mark the return of the Silent Mode as well as the Auto-rotate toggle as it allows users to hide "Hotspot" and "Color" inversion tiles from Quick Settings manually. Lastly, users will just have to swipe up to remove a notification from the Heads-up notifications on display but keep it in the status bar.
On the whole, Android users can expect improvements on RAM and shutdown-free apps.
