Android 5.1 Lollipop for Nexus Handsets News Update: Update Begins Rolling Out For Nexus 6 on T-Mobile

Android 5.1 Lollipop update for the Nexus handsets are being rolled out eventually and the latest to get the update was Motorola-made Nexus 6 under contract with US mobile carrier T-Mobile.

Earlier it was reported that the mentioned device would be receiving a different Lollipop update version, labelled LMY47M but the new version differs from the earlier reported version number.

The first Over-The-Air update for Android 5.1, which was pushed out to smartphones and tablets all over the world, featured the build number LMY47D. The following days, Verizon announced that those Nexus 6 handsets operating under their service will be having the build number LMY47E, Christian Post reported.

Reportedly, both of these updates from respective carriers have no "noticeable differences."

Both versions of Android 5.1 update are equipped with the latest Device Protection security feature which locks the phone permanently unless the user signs in with his/her Google account. It would be still effective even if a full factory reset is performed on the phone.

The new update also has the High-Definition Voice feature that offers users greatly-improved voice-call quality.

Reports suggest that users looking to upgrade their smartphones to Android 5.1 need to have at least 409 MB of free space.
