    Verizon is updating the Galaxy Note 4 to Android 5.1.1

    Firmware

    The Galaxy Note 5 has been out in the market for more than four months now, and you would think the Note 5 would be matching its successor on software version till now. Certainly, Galaxy Note 4 users have been reaping the benefits of Android 5.1.1 for some time, and so have users of the device on three major US carriers – AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. Well, Verizon is finally jumping on the bandwagon and is starting to update the Note 4 to Android 5.1.1 as well.

    Featuring build number N910VVRU2BOK3, the update brings support for Android for Work, upgrades to Samsung KNOX (KNOX is what Android for Work is based on), and removes the preloaded Amazon app and widgets. Verizon doesn't mention any other changes, but the update should include inherent 5.1.1 goodies, including improved stability, battery fixes and security upgrades. Even if it doesn't, well, users of the last Galaxy Note flagship to offer removable battery and expandable storage should be happy they can at least flaunt the latest version of Android Lollipop in front of their friends.

    The update should be hitting your Galaxy Note 4 in the form of a notification in the status bar. In case it hasn't shown up yet, take a trip to the Settings » About device » Software update menu and check for it manually. In either case, it shouldn't be long before Android 5.1.1 comes calling on your phone, and you can let us know once it does by leaving a comment below.

    Oh, and don't ask anything about Android 6.0 for the Note 4. If we're lucky, Samsung will bring Marshmallow to the device before the second half of this year, even though the company seems to be testing it in full force already.
