Android 5.0 Lollipop Update Rolling Out for Sprint’s Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Note Edge

The software release follows the upgrade which came earlier for the current phablet flagship, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Owners of the two South Korean tech handsets can get the Lollipop update Over-The-Air, which means they should be receiving the notification if it is already available for download and instalment. It can take a few days before it arrives to devices.

For those opting to do the update manually, they can head over to their phone’s About Phone section and then hit the Check for Updates button.

Material Design which brings forth fluid animations and vivid coloured themes
