With essentially the whole Nexus family obtaining the robot five.1 Lollipop update already, house owners of the Nexus nine, Google's current flagship pill, were with reason obtaining to a small degree peckish concerning wherever their update went.

Having hardly been bumped to robot five.0.2 (LRX22L) some days earlier, Google has formally confirmed that the robot five.1.1 update is currently going out for the Nexus nine.

So why did Android 5.1 for the Nexus 9 take so long?

We have no plan. The update was thus late in returning we tend to truly thought that the Nexus nine may simply skip humanoid five.1 altogether. it's tempting to mention that the Nexus nine on humanoid five.0 was with great care smart that it did not want any of the bug fixes that recent versions of humanoid mounted. however we all know that this can be merely not true. it's additional possible that despite being the reference device for humanoid Lollipop that the Nexus nine merely fell into the no-one-seems-to-care-about-updating-tablets bucket.

There are many changes in humanoid five.1, as well as lots of minor visual prospers, at the side of dual-SIM support, Device Protection and HD Voice (if your carrier supports it). 

Have you got the humanoid five.1 update on the Nexus 9? something you think that remains missing from Android?
