Android 5.0 Lollipop was born towards the end of last year.
However, since this new version of the Android OS came into being, there are still a good number of devices that were expected to receive the updates, but are yet to get this update.
One of these devices is the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, which was scheduled to get the update sometime in the first quarter of 2015. Now that we are into the second quarter of 2015, this Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Android 5.0 Lollipop update has now been made available for download.
T-Mobile was among the first mobile carriers to start rolling out the Android 5.0 Lollipop updates for their Galaxy Note 3 users in the U.S. After some time, it seems the users of AT&T can now join in and start updating to the latest version of the Android Lollipop operating system.
