WASHINGTON: Google has rolled out the Android 5.1 Lollipop for all the Nexus devices including Nexus 5, Nexus 6 and more..
Currently, this media streamer runs on Android 5.0, the operating system that was released last fall and which has a lot of bugs and performance issues that need to be fixed. According to some sources, including XDA developers forum, claim that Google already rolled out the 5.1 version and in short time, all Nexus devices will receive the latest updates and the users will notice the performance improvements. While the 2014 models have priority, the devices that were released earlier will receive the updates in the next weeks.
In the world of media streaming devices, Apple and Roku disputed the crown at some point, but once the Nexus Player joined the table and lured the consumers with its extra features – the possibility to use it as a dedicated console, some of the consumers decided to ditch their old streamers and try this model.
This player allows its users to find movies easier, especially after being updated to the new Android version, and it comes installed with many popular applications such as Hulu, YouTube, Netflix etc. If you have a HD TV in the living room, you will transform it into a smart television once you’ll connect the Nexus Player to it. Since it’s a part of the Google ecosystem, you will purchase movies, applications and games from the Play Store and stream them to your television. Your guests won’t get bored and they’ll get to try the latest Android games. We’re pretty sure that when the 5.1 upgrade will show up, more games and applications will be added too.
Android users can cast content even if they use smartphones, tablets or a Chromecast device and the Nexus player supports Google Cast out of the box. With Lollipop, you will easily transfer content to your laptop, computer or Chromebook, as well as to another television from your house, using a Chromecast.
We know, Lollipop 5.0 was full of bugs, but they will be fixed on the 5.1 version for the Google Nexus Player and it will be more stable and reliable, but you’ll have to wait patiently until this update will reach your device, and it’s a matter of only a few weeks. Then, you will up to date with the best online entertainment content!
