Google
announced that they are rolling out Android 5.1 Lollipop, an update
which improves stability and performance along with a couple of new
features such as support for multiple SIM cards, Device Protection and
high definition (HD) voice on compatible phones. This would be the first
major update to Android Lollipop since its release.
Google
made the announcement on their Official Android Blog where they
mentioned that Android 5.1 Lollipop will also provide enhancements such
as the ability to join Wi-Fi networks and control paired Bluetooth
devices directly from Quick Settings as well. It also added that with
Android Lollipop 5.1, users can now use more than one SIM card on a
device with multiple SIM slots.
An
additional feature called Device Protection has also been added in
situations where if you lose your phone or if its stolen, it will remain
locked until you sign in with your Google account, even if someone
resets your device to factory settings. According to the blog, this
feature will be available on most Android phones and tablets shipped
with Android 5.1 in addition to Nexus 6 and Nexus 9.
The
Android 5.1 Lollipop update will also bring in high definition voice
calling on mobile phones. Dave Burke, VP of Android Platform posted on
the blog that users will get crystal clear calling with HD Voice between
compatible Android 5.1 devices like the Nexus 6 on carriers such as
T-Mobile or Verizon.
