ASUS Philippines has announced that both the Nexus 7 (2013), as well as its predecessor, the first gen Google Nexus 7, are among the first batch of devices that will receive the Android 5.0 update.
According to the company’s press release, the Android 5.0 update is expected to bring software-based improvements on both of these tablets which include OS’ “Material Design” scheme, as well as giving these slates an added layer of protection against malware and theft.
The Android Lollipop update will also add Bluetooth Smart to the tablets’ arsenal. This feature reduces the energy consumption when scanning and pairing with other Bluetooth devices.
ASUS Philippines said that the global roll out of the Android 5.0 for Nexus 7 has already started and users with the Wi-Fi only version should expect it to come any day now. The data-enabled variant, on the other hand, will get the update starting next month.
