Exclusive: This is how Android 5.0 will look on your Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition

/ 3 years ago

After the Nexus devices, Google Play Edition devices are one of the first to receive latest Android updates. Last year, Google announced the Google Play Edition program which featured high-end smartphones from various smartphone vendors like Samsung, HTC, and Sony. Samsung released the Google Play Edition of the Galaxy S4 (GT-i9505G) with stock Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean onboard, after which it was eventually updated to Android 4.4 KitKat with swift software updates. Now that Google has released Android 5.0 Lollipop to the public, Samsung is testing it on various devices including the Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3, and the Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition. We’ve managed to get the beta build of Android 5.0 on the Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition and here are the screenshots of the latest software. As expected, it features stock Android UI with Material design and all the features which were introduced with Android 5.0. We have already showcased the beta builds of Android 5.0 Lollipop based ROM for the Galaxy S5 and made a video displaying Android 5.0 on the Galaxy Note 3.

I quote oldblue910, a XDA Developers Recognized Contributor: “That’s not an “old” build. Just because there are later letters doesn’t mean anything. The G Pad 8.3 GPE and Z Ultra GPE have Lollipop official released based on LRX21P, as do the Nexus 7s and Nexus 10. T and V are device-specific changes that don’t apply to anything but the Nexus 4 and Nexus Player. So yeah, if the GS4 GPE gets LRX21P, it won’t matter.” And I add: The Google Now Launcher and, in general, the look of Lollipop Beta version for the S4 GPE can mislead, because they don’t… Read more »
