Google
has finally published the long-awaited factory images of Android 5.0.2
Lollipop for the cellular variants of the Asus Google Nexus 7 (2012 and
2013) tablets.
While there is no information for over-the-air
(OTA) update as yet, users can manually download and flash the zip
update file for the Nexus 7 (2012) 3G and Nexus 7 (2013) 3G from
Google's Nexus Factory Images
page.
To
remind you, Google had only updated the Nexus 7 Wi-Fi models, apart from
the Nexus smartphones, ever since the Android 5.0 Lollipop release in
October 2014.
The company hadn't even provided the Android 5.0
Lollipop update for the Nexus 7 cellular models, and after the Android
4.4.4 KitKat build from the middle of last year, the company has now
jumped straight to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop - which comes with build
number LRX22G, and is dated October 22. The update also includes driver
binaries, which may be the reason for the delay, according to Android
Police.
In
December,
Google had released the Android 5.0.2 factory image for Wi-Fi only
Nexus 7 (2012), and in
January
for the Nexus 7 (2013) Wi-Fi and Nexus 10 tablets.
The update was
incremental and its official changelog provided by Google for the
LRX22C build to LRX22G build of the Nexus 7 (2012 and 2013) tablets,
essentially focussed on performance, apart from dealing with issues
related to tune delivery, batching of alarms, storage, boot time and
more.
Now that the factory images of the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop
update is finally out, we also expect the company to roll it out
over-the-air for users who do not know how or wish the manually flash
their devices.
