Announced by Google on Monday, the latest flavor of the Android Lollipop operating system is already out for the Nexus 4 smartphone, Nexus 5 smartphone and 2013 Nexus 7 tablet via T-Mobile. The carrier’s page for the Nexus 4 shows the 5.1 update available as an over-the-air (OTA) installation via Wi-Fi as of Monday. The page for the Nexus 5 and the one for the 2013 Nexus 7 show the same information. Both pages say the update will be available via a cellular connection at a later date.
One feature new to Android 5.1 is tighter security for lost or stolen devices. Even if the device is reset back to factory conditions, a user will still need to sign in with the original Google account. The new security feature will be available on the Nexus 6 phablet and Nexus 9 tablet for starters but will pop up on other devices that come shipped with Android 5.1.
Another new feature lets you connect to a Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth device more easily via the Quick Settings menu. Users of phones with multiple SIM card slots will be able to switch between the cards without having to physically swap them out. And phone calls should be clearer thanks to the new high-definition voice calling available between Android 5.1 devices.
