Google unveils Android 5.1 Lollipop


Android 5.1, the first big update since Lollipop made its debut late last year, includes support for HD voice calling, as well as the use of multiple SIM cards. It also irons out more bugs and makes Lollipop more stable.



For now, Android 5.1 factory images are available for the Nexus 5, the 2012 Nexus 7 with Wi-Fi, and the Nexus 10 — and they can be downloaded from Google’s dedicated webpage via the source link below. We expect other Nexus devices to be supported very soon, so keep an eye on that page if yours isn’t just yet.




The guys at Apple weren’t the only busy ones today. Our Google friends have also announced Android 5.1 Lollipop, their latest improvement to the Android mobile OS. You probably get your usual performance improvements and bug fixes, but this is also a slightly bigger upgrade, with a few new features in tow.


Firstly, the new OS comes with support for devices with multiple SIM cards. Android 5.1 also makes your device more secure by introducing Device Protection, which will keep your lost/stolen device locked until you enter your Google account information (even if the phone has gone through a factory reset). Lastly, HD voice calling has been added for compatible devices.
