Lollipop update rolling out for Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Looks like Samsung has started rolling out the Android Lollipop update for the Galaxy Alpha (SM-G850) smartphone. According to a report from Sammobile, the device has started getting Android 5.0.2 in South Korea, where the update is available OTA (over-the-air) as well as through the company's Kies software utility.
For those who aren't in the know, the Android 5.0.2 update mostly brings performance and stability-related improvements and better battery life. It is expected that the update will roll out soon in other markets as well.
The news comes just a few days after the South Korean company started updating the Galaxy A3with Android Lollipop.

Galaxy Alpha, S5 Active, and LG G2 on AT&T all get Lollipop

The Lollipop updates keep rolling out day after day this season. This time around one carrier has simultaneously pushed out the updates to Android 5.0 for no less three devices.
The carrier in question is AT&T and the handsets we're talking about are the Samsung Galaxy Alpha,Galaxy S5 Active, and LG G2. So if you've purchased any one of these from AT&T, know that a tasty Lollipop treat is on its way to you.
Of note is the fact that other variations of Samsung's Galaxy Alpha (for other carriers and for international markets) don't yet seem to have the Lollipop update available, which means this is now making its debut on AT&T's model.
The situation isn't the same for the other two phones - we've previously seen Lollipop rollouts for both the Galaxy S5 Active (internationally) as well as the LG G2 (for which both Verizon and T-Mobile have already commenced the procedure).
For the Galaxy Alpha, the update comes in at 1GB and makes it run Android 5.0.2, build LRX22G.G850AUCU1BOC6. Aside from everything that's new in that software version, the update also removes the SoftCard app.
In the case of the Galaxy S5 Active, the download size is 1.4GB, the version you'll run afterwards is Android 5.0, and the build number is LRX21T.G870AUCU1BOC5.
For the LG G2, the new release removes Browser Bar, Famigo, AT&T Code Scanner, and Beats Music. The update file is 725MB in size, and after performing the procedure you'll be on Android 5.0.2 and software version D80030f.
Regardless of which of these devices you have, you can obviously try and manually check for the update by using the appropriate option in Settings. This may or may not make the download start immediately. If it doesn't, then know that the rollouts should make their way to all phones out there in a few days.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha will get Lollipop alongside the Note II

Samsung's websites for Finland and Denmark are giving us some interesting information about which devices the company plans to bring Android Lollipop to next.
As you may know, the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S5 Active, and Galaxy S4 have already received the tasty treat, at least in certain regions. But what's next for Samsung?
Well, it turns out the Korean company also plans to bring Lollipop to the Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Alpha, and Galaxy S5 Mini.
We've already heard about Lollipop making it to the Galaxy S5 Mini, as well as the Galaxy Note II - but another official confirmation is good to have. This also marks the first time Samsung has said anything conclusive about the Galaxy Alpha with regard to the Lollipop update, so it's good news for owners of that model too.
Rollouts for the S5 Mini, Alpha, and Note II are apparently scheduled to happen "later in 2015", and unfortunately no more specific details are available right now. Previously, Samsung's French arm said Q2 was the time frame for the Galaxy S5 Mini's Lollipop update, so maybe that's true for all three handsets. If so, you're looking at a maximum of three months of waiting, from this point on, for the new software.
As for the Galaxy Note II, it's nice to see Samsung still care about a device that's two and a half years old.
Thanks for sending this in, Aamer Siddiqui and Peter!
