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.
