Google first announced that Android 5.1 is coming on Android One, giving a lot of reference to the software and stating that it is targeting developing countries. Now, the company has officially announced Android 5.1 via the Android blog .
At first glance, the latest Android seems to bring minor updates. However, Google states that it will be serving to “improves stability and performance” over 5.0. Aside from the latter, Android 5.1 also comes with support for multiple SIM slots and HD voice, along with a new security feature named Device Protection.
Google’s Device Protection feature seems to be working similar to Apple’s security measure, having it in place in case the phone is lost and stolen. Users are required to sign into their Google accounts to unlock the device and the protection survives even if the handset suffers a factory reset.
While we know that Google will be rolling out Android 5.1, we still do not know exactly when. However, AOSP and Nexus devices should be the first handsets to receive the latest update.
