Samsung Galaxy Android 5.1 Release Date Details Revealed

Samsung itself has not confirmed the arrival of a Galaxy Android 5.1 update, but thanks to a carrier, we know that the update will arrive for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in the future. We also now have our first Samsung Galaxy Android 5.1 release date.

Google released the Android 5.1 Lollipop update two months ago. Android 5.1 Lollipop is an incremental update that brings some feature tweaks and critical bug fixes to Android smartphone and tablet users. It has been rolling out to Nexus devices since mid-March.

In April, Google released another Android 5.1 update called Android 5.1.1. Android 5.1.1 is also an incremental update that brings various bug fixes to the Android 5.0 Lollipop platform. Android 5.1.1 has been rolling out since April, but it started picking up momentum in May as companies other than Google worked to roll out updated versions of Lollipop to their customers.

Recently, we’ve seen a number of Samsung Android 5.1 release details have surfaced for Galaxy smartphone users. These details summarized possible Android 5.1 features, possible version of Android 5.1 (Android 5.1.1) and devices that should receive the update (Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge). Today, new Samsung Galaxy Android 5.1 release details have surfaced, at least for users on a well-known carrier.

Canadian carrier RogersA carrier known for pre-release update information, it has already released some information and outlines Android 5.1 details for select Galaxy users.

According to Rogers, starting in June, the Samsung Galaxy S6 will start rolling out the Android 5.1 Lollipop update to the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. This is the first time we’ve seen a carrier confirm these updates directly, and this is the first time we’ve seen a Galaxy Android 5.1 release date confirmed.

Of course, Rogers’ Galaxy Android 5.1 release date serves as a large window and an estimated arrival date. Android update release dates depend on the internal testing process at Samsung and individual carriers; this means we can see that the operator arrives later than the Estimated Arrival Time.

Rogers does not outline the content of the Android 5.1 update, and it may not be until the update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge is released. Fortunately, thanks to the rumors, we know what we can see from Samsung and the latest version of Android Lollipop.

The Samsung Android 5.1 update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge is thought to have two new features: Guest Mode and some big time changes to the camera.

For those who don’t know, Guest Mode is a feature that allows Android users to create multiple profiles on one phone. It’s great if you’re sharing a phone with a loved one, kids, or have curious friends who like to borrow or use your phone. This feature is not available in the current version of Lollipop from Samsung. looks like he’s making his debut On Android 5.1.

This feature was available in the Galaxy S6 Edge Android 5.1.1 update that leaked a few days ago. This update can be seen in the video above.

Camera features still shrouded in mystery SamMobile believes He said Android 5.1 could bring full support for Google’s camera API, which could mean “support for features that are currently not available on the S6 and S6 edge, such as the option to control the shutter speed and capture in RAW.”

These specs are also rumored for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, a device that isn’t expected to launch until much later this year, possibly in the fall.

The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge will almost certainly be the first on Android 5.1 and Android 5.1.1, but the door is wide open for future Android 5.1 releases on other high-end devices.
