Nvidia Shield Tablet LTE Getting Android 5.0 Lollipop Update in the US

If you happen to live in the US and to have a Shield Tablet LTE nearby, then it’s worth keeping an eye on the notifications panel. Why? Because the Nvidia Shield Tablet LTE Android 5.0 Lollipop is now being pushed to the users based in the US.

The Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Shield Tablet LTE arrives a little over a week after the WiFi variant of the tablet received the same software update. As usual, the roll out is made in phases which means that some of you might have to wait for the OTA update a little longer than others. Anyway, once your tablet will be ready to get upgraded with the new firmware you should receive a system update notification. All you need to do is tap on it then follow the on-screen instructions.

It’s also worth to check for the update manually, if you can’t see the system update notification. Do to so, make sure you are connected to a mobile or WiFi network and navigate to Settings > About device > System updates > Check now. The update might have a size of over 800 MB, so we are recommending you to use a WiFi network to download it in order to avoid unwanted data charges.

Android 5.0 Lollipop is the biggest update Google’s mobile operating system has received over the past few years. The new software arrives with improved performance courtesy of ART (Android Runtime), a new interface focused on vivid colors, more animations, and realistic 3D effects and shadows called Material Design, revamped quick settings and notifications bar, better battery statistics, battery saver mode, dynamic status bar, new recents screen with document-centric multitasking, native support for 64-bit processors, and more.
