Lollipop on Galaxy Note Edge

Android 5.0 Lollipop is rolling out fast to the most popular Android smartphones and tablets. Many devices including Galaxy Note 3,ย HTC One M7/M8, Nvidia Shield Tablet, Galaxy S4 GPe, Galaxy S5, and the Nexus series smartphones have already received this fortune in the form of a firmware update. While the high-end devices like these have been updated, the new ones in the market have still some time to wait. But, Samsung’s latest unique innovation “The curved screen smartphone”, that was in the rumors, has made its way to Lollipop, in almost no time.

And yes, we are dealing with the widely discussed Galaxy Note Edge. It comes with Android 4.4 pre-installed, a huge 5.6-inch QuadHD+ AMOLED curved edge display, Snapdragon 805 Quad-core 2.7 GHz processor, Adreno 420 graphics unit, 3GB RAM, Bluetooth 4.1, and it comes in 32 GB and 64 GB variants.

      No, don’t try it. There’s no working root for the Verizon Note 4/Edge at the moment.

      Try to download the files from Google Drive individually or try this link: https://mega.co.nz/#F!XtB3yZ7S!nGsks0nK_1YbTXZHxGjYaQ.

      Well, you can’t install a SM-N915 firmware on the SM-N915T.
