Last month, Google started rolling out the brand new Android 5.1 Lollipop update for Nexus smartphones and tablets. Google’s initial launch included the Nexus 6, Nexus 7 2012 Wi-Fi, Nexus 10, and Nexus 5. Although the company’s Android 5.1 version has started to gain momentum in recent days, it is progressing extremely slowly.

The update came as a bit of a surprise, given that Google has had a hard time porting Android updates to the cellular versions of the Nexus 7. Both the Nexus 7 LTE and Nexus 7 3G have struggled to migrate from Android 4.4 KitKat to Android 5.0 Lollipop, and the Nexus 7 LTE has a long history from major Android updates from Google.

Rumor has it that Google is working on a new Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update that could completely fix the memory leak. While Google hasn’t fully confirmed the update, a reference to its release has surfaced in the latest update to the Android SDK.

It looks like Google has finished coding the Android 5.1.1 update, which probably means it’s done its behind-the-scenes work. at least a few reliable sources believe Android 5.1.1 for Nexus devices is just around the corner, perhaps in April.

Google still owes Android 5.1 updates to Nexus users. The company’s Nexus 9, Nexus 7 2013, Nexus 7 LTE and Nexus 4 still do not have the latest Android 5.1 Lollipop version.
