Android Lollipop 5.0 now rolling out to Galaxy Note 3

After showcasing Android Lollipop on the Galaxy S5 last month, the folks over at SamMobile have gotten their hands on an internal Lollipop build destined for the Galaxy Note 3.

Naturally Samsung is among them and all eyes are on the Korean giant to deliver updates to their current device lineup.
A user on their blog uploaded photos of what he claims is his SM-N900U unit running Android 5.0.

We scanned several of the bigger Vietnamese tech blogs, and it would appear that none of them have caught wind of this just yet, so we might have a misstep by Samsung or, of course, a fabrication.

Interestingly enough, Samsung-Updates, a site specializing in diligently archiving all Samsung updates as soon as they pop up, apparently had the 5.0 update for the SM-N900U Note 3 model, but took it down for an unknown reason, so even if you do have that same model, you can't pick the update from there just yet.

Aside from the boring security patches and bug fixes which come as standard, this update brings international calling over Wi-Fi, KNOX version 2.0, and a Kids Mode feature first seen on the Galaxy S5. There is still no sign of the patch on T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon, where the Note 3 remains on Android 4.4.2, but we'll update you as soon as we hear more.

Sprint began the rollout on September 5th, which by now should mean most users have it. Keep checking the software update section in Settings, under the About Phone subcategory to see when your handset will be ready for the patch.
