Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 LTE jumps to Android 5.1.1

George, 15 September, 2015

Samsung has finally gotten round to the Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 LTE (SM-T905) and is treating the once flagship tablet to Android Lollipop. The largest slate in the lineup moves straight to the latest 5.1.1 OS version from its current 4.4.2 KitKat state.

The firmware build is dated September 3 and comes in the form of a 1.3GB download. The rollout has started from the Nordic countries, but should hopefully make its way to the rest of the markets where the tablet was originally available.

Given that the latest update was last year around this time, one can reasonably expect that the tablet will no longer receive newer releases. We're yet to see when and if Lollipop 5.1.1 is coming to the Wi-Fi-only version of the Galaxy Note Tab Pro 12.2 (SM-T900), or the equally sized S-Pen-packing Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 LTE.

The product works ask right but what you're not taking into account is all the applications you use on the device. These need updates too, otherwise they won't work properly. Twitter on kitkat shows updates from a year ago just because I can't update...

I have the tab pro 12.1 and I just installed the lollipop update. It's almost 1 GB in size. I believe that all variants of the 12 inch are being updated. This will probably be the last update too.
