Although Android 5.0, which uses 78 percent of smartphones in the world was launched in November 2014, only 10 percent of the devices have this version, Google revealed.
Several reasons explain the phenomenon: Android (Lollipop) is an open operating system. Each manufacturer receives a basic version modified according to their interests and needs. For example, Samsung gives the appearance of a particular operating system. They call the TouchWiz interface. So do Huawei, LG, Sony and other manufacturers.
The update sometimes also depends on the specifics that you have added each operator (as Claro or Movistar) to the system. For example, if Tigo decided to include a pre-installed on phones sold application, wait for them to perform tests and modify their particular version. To upgrade, sometimes only to be expected. When the time arrives, the phone will alert you that a new version is available. To make sure you have the latest version, go to ‘Settings’, ‘about your phone’ and press the ‘system updates’ button. In some cases, the manufacturer will provide the update through their official website. Avoid this software download pages.
