Yes, you read that right. Google has indeed (silently) launched the Android 5.1 Lollipop update, which means that updates will soon be rolled out to the Nexus too. For every other device, well, there is more wait.
However, there is no official announcement as yet, but Google’s Android One page denotes to the new release. As of now, we have no access to the changelog, it is unknown as to what this update has in store, although, we can happily assume that the update will bring bug fix release to tackle battery and also stability issues.

- Notifications problems solved
- Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed
