Google finally announced the Android 5.1 Lollipop update. It is the first major update to Android Lollipop. This new updated Android 5.1 Lollipop improves stability and performance and offers a few new features. Motorola Nexus 6 and HTC Nexus 9 will be the first devices to receive this new update for Android Lollipop.
The main highlight of this update is its built-in Device Protection, which makes sure the device is locked when lost or stolen, until signed-in using a Google account. Surprisingly, Device Protection once enabled requires a Google account sign-in even if someone resets the device to factory settings (As said by Google). The other features of this update include support for multiple SIM cards, Device Protection and high definition (HD) voice on compatible phones. Google says that many bugs are also fixed in this update.
