Google officially announces Android 5.1

I wonder if this fixes the Wi-Fi issues that some people had in v5.0?

After prematurely launching an Android One site with tons of references to Android 5.1, Google has finally announced Android 5.1 via its official Android blog. It looks to be a minor update, with Google saying it "improves stability and performance" over 5.0.

 

It's not just bugfixes though, the update adds support for multiple SIM slots and HD voice. There's also a new security feature called "Device Protection," which will lock a lost or stolen device until the user signs in with their Google account—the lockout even survives a factory reset.

 

We'll dive in as soon as we get a copy. Google has only said it is "rolling out" 5.1, but it didn't say where. We'd imagine it will hit AOSP and Nexus devices soon.
