    Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE gets Lollipop on Verizon

    Firmware

    Last updated: June 1st, 2015 at 18:38 UTC+02:00

    It has only been a couple of weeks since Verizon released the Android 5.0.2 update for the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and now it's following through with Lollipop for the Galaxy Tab S 8.4. Samsung has confirmed that Verizon is releasing said update for the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 today, users in the United States should start getting update notifications on their tablets shortly.

    Software version T707VVRU1BOD4 being rolled out by Verizon today brings the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE on its network up to Android 5.0.2. The update brings with it all of the features and improvements that we have come to expect from Lollipop, including but not limited to the new notifications experience, Material Design UI, performance improvements and much more. The file size is going to be around 1GB since this is a major update after all, so users will certainly require some patience when they're downloading it particularly on a slow internet connection. It shouldn't take more than a few hours for Verizon to be done with the Lollipop roll out for the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE.

    Samsung UK is at it again. This particular branch of the Korean giant has always been rather active on Twitter when it comes to informing users whether a particular device will get updated to a newer version of Android or not.

    Do Samsung users passionately care about getting latest Android versions? Your vote matters!
