Google has finally published the long-
awaited factory images of Android 5.0.2
Lollipop for the cellular variants of the
Asus Google Nexus 7 (2012 and 2013)
tablets.
While there is no information for over-
the-air (OTA) update as yet, users can
manually download and flash the zip
update file for the Nexus 7 (2012) 3G
and Nexus 7 (2013) 3G from Google's
Nexus Factory Images page .
To remind you, Google had only updated
the Nexus 7 Wi-Fi models, apart from th
Nexus smartphones, ever since the
Android 5.0 Lollipop release in October
2014.
The company hadn't even provided the
Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the
Nexus 7 cellular models, and after the
Android 4.4.4 KitKat build from the
middle of last year, the company has
now jumped straight to Android 5.0.2
Lollipop - which comes with build
number LRX22G, and is dated October
22. The update also includes driver
binaries, which may be the reason for th
delay, according to Android Police.
In December , Google had released the
Android 5.0.2 factory image for Wi-Fi
only Nexus 7 (2012), and in January for
the Nexus 7 (2013) Wi-Fi and Nexus 10
tablets.
The update was incremental and its
official changelog provided by Google fo
the LRX22C build to LRX22G build of the
Nexus 7 (2012 and 2013) tablets,
essentially focussed on performance,
apart from dealing with issues related to
tune delivery, batching of alarms,
storage, boot time and more.
Now that the factory images of the
Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update is finally
out, we also expect the company to roll i
out over-the-air for users who do not
know how or wish the manually flash
their devices.
