LG G3 owners on AT&T are in for some good news, as the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop update should hit their devices momentarily if it hasn't already.
AT&T is the first carrier in the U.S. to start delivering the Lollipop update to its LG G3, but other carriers will most likely follow suit soon enough. When Android 5.0 Lollipop first made its debut, LG took pride in its plans of being one of the first OEMs to update devices to the very latest software. LG has indeed pushed Lollipop to its LG G3 in various markets and variants, but the carrier versions of the smartphone in the U.S. have so far been left in the cold.
The AT&T LG G3 has now started receiving Android 5.0.1 Lollipop in the U.S. and a significant number of devices should have already received the update. The firmware comes with build number lRX21Y, software number D85020f, and weighs in at 689 - 721MB, according to AT&T's support page. Android 5.0.1 is reaching the device via Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) over Wi-Fi only, and the process is gradual.
As expected, Android 5.0.1 Lollipop brings several neat features and improvements to the LG G3, including a cleaner look thanks to the updated user interface (UI) based on Google's Material Design guidelines. AT&T's support page further notes that this update will bring Google setup wizard (R2G removed), as well as some stability improvements.
The latest update will also add new notification options, a new quick settings drop-down menu, automatic device encryption, better battery life, increased security, enhanced Internet and Bluetooth connectivity, and others.
The LG G3 has already proved to be a popular device thanks to its high-end specs and features, neat design, and strong performance, and the latest version of Android should make the device even more impressive.
As always, however, keep in mind that OTA updates are always gradual and it takes a few days for all devices to receive the treat. That said, if you have yet to receive Android 5.0.1 Lollipop for your AT&T LG G3, fret not - the update should arrive momentarily. Meanwhile, if you already received the treat, drop by out comment section and tell us all about it.
