First and foremost, Samsung has upgraded its Android Lollipop base from LRW58J to LRX02E. Now, even though the Korean giant is using an updated source code, the build is still missing the Lollipop branding, which indicates that it’s not using the most recent code from Google. However, the new LRX02E build does change the Android version from ‘L’ to ‘5.0’ and also brings in the new Android Bird game as an easter egg, but instead of using lollipops as blockades, the current build uses black and yellow striped rectangles — this was probably a security measure taken by Google to prevent the Lollipop branding from getting leaked before the official announcement.
Samsung’s latest Lollipop build brings in a plethora of changes, mostly to the user interface, and at the same time adds a few new features as well.
List of changes in the new Lollipop build compared to the old one:
If we compare the latest Lollipop build with the one we previewed earlier, it's a night and day difference. We are really amazed by the amount of progress Samsung's software engineers have made in such a short time. Now, we know that all the Samsung fans out there want this build badly, but we can't leak it just yet simply because it's still in an early stage, and is nowhere near a daily driver. We can't put our readers' devices at risk.
