Galaxy Note 2 can receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop – Half Bit

Galaxy Note 2 may (or may not) gain a survival with Android 5.0 Lollipop

The Samsung is a company that does not have any shame in killing his most successful devices. When the update of the Galaxy S3 to Android 4.4 KitKat was canceled, many people hissed. Even if she has obeyed the Google policy of having support for only 18 months, the fact is that the device was his biggest hit to that point, and the S4 never outsold. But it did not work, died in the 4.3 Jelly Bean and ready

However, it seems the company is changing your mind, and it is with such an old machine as:. According to reports of the Polish division of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop -. but I doubt it

The confirmation came through the Twitter account of Samsung Poland, although it has not specified dates. Namely the Note 2 received three major updates and is in fact running Android 4.4 KitKat, something that has not happened with his cousin S3 released the same year, its international 3G version ( the most popular ) reached be listed as upgradeável for the version of chocolate little robot, only to Samsung cancel all citing “unresolved issues”. Only that we know, beyond the planned obsolescence has the added bonus of very heavy TouchWiz, so much so that shortly after the company launched a campaign to convince S3 owners to migrate to the S5.

Why the change of attitude? Perhaps because of Note 2 have sufficient robust hardware, Android 5.0 is lighter and the TouchWiz come being wiped, all these factors may be converging into a maintenance of the newest version of the little robot on a Samsung device over two years for the first time, which can even help restore some of the company’s image, especially now.

I personally do not think that Samsung actually go release the Android 5.0 update for Lollipop Galaxy Note 2 mainly with Note 4 in the market and the S6 coming. Not that I do not believe that there is an intention to update it, but as they have shot down an update before, may well do it again. But anyway, we wait the next chapters
