- AT&T posts changelog
The Galaxy S4 for AT&T got Lollipop yesterday, but what about the Galaxy S5, which is a whole year newer? Well, it's only lagging a day behind. AT&T reps on Twitter were calming irate GS5 owners by promising an update today, and it appears to be the truth.
The update to Android 5.0 is hefty at 1.4GB. You will need to be on WiFi to download it, but at the end of this process you'll enjoy an updated design, revamped notifications, and more. Most of AT&T's updates for popular phones go out in waves, so you might not be able to manually trigger the update yourself, but it's worth a try.
