14 DAY TRIAL // Good news for Samsung Galaxy S5 owners who purchased their smartphones through Verizon's official retail channels, as the carrier has just confirmed it has started the rollout of the Android 5.0 Lollipop for this particular handset.
Even though this can be considered good news, Verizon has in fact delayed Android 5.0 Lollipop for Galaxy S5 for a few months now.
The Big Red kicked off the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop for Samsung Galaxy S5 back in February, but it immediately pulled the update due some unknown technical issues.
Later this week, Verizon resumed the rollout of Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Galaxy S5, so those who did not get it the first time may want to check their phones.
Thankfully, the carrier also published the changelog for this update, so you will be happy to know that beside Android 5.0 Lollipop you will get lot of other improvements and new features.
Once you update, you will notice bolder colors and more fluid animations. Also, the on/off toggle button style has been update based on Material Design.
