Sprint rolling out Android 5.1 for Galaxy S6 & S6 edge

Last updated: June 30th, 2015 at 20:45 UTC+02:00

Users of the Galaxy S6 and its curved screen counterpart on US’s Sprint network are now receiving the OTA update to Android 5.1 Lollipop.

T-Mobile was the first to dish out the update. Sprint’s update will have the usual suite of bug fixed baked into it along with some Sprint-specific ones. Build numbers for the update for the Galaxy S6 and the S6 edge are G920VPU20F7 and G925PVPU2B0F7 respectively, with the download being about 570MB in size.

Needless to say, the update will be sent out in batches; so don’t panic if you haven’t received yours yet. Regardless, you can head over to Settings -> About Phone -> System Update to force check if its there for you already. Do let us know if you’ve received the update on your handset, and your thoughts on the same in the comments section below.
