Galaxy Note 2 to receive Android Lollipop, says Samsung Poland
Responding to a question via twitter, Samsung Poland confirmed that Android Lollipop will be heading to the Galaxy Note 2, although no time frame was given.
Samsung has been reasonably quick at bringing Android Lollipop to the Galaxy Note 3 and Note 4 and also looks set to bring the update to its two year old Galaxy Note 2, according to a tweet from Samsung Poland.
When asked about a leaked screenshot of the Note 2 running Android 5.0, Samsung Poland confirmed that the Galaxy Note 2 would indeed be receiving the update. However, no other information about dates or regional rollouts was given, so there could be a bit of a wait, if the update doesn’t fall through beforehand.
@immichal Tak, nasz rzecznik potwierdził dziś podczas #GZR, że GALAXY Note 2 otrzyma aktualizację. Nie mamy jednak dodatkowych informacji.— Samsung Polska (@SamsungPolska) February 11, 2015
Samsung has already managed to start pushing out Lollipop updates for the Galaxy S5, S4, S4 LTE-A, Note 3 and the Note 4. Given that Samsung doesn’t typically offer updates for handsets older than 18 months, it is a bit of a surprise to see the latest Android OS set for release on the Note 2.
Hopefully this is a sign that Samsung is really ramping up support for its older handsets, a practice that will hopefully catch on with other OEMs too.
