Google has finally rolled out its Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update for the Nexus 7 2013 version, which means owners of the aging tablet can now bask in all the Material Design glory of Google's latest iteration of the mobile platform.
Google posted factory images of the Nexus 7 tablet over the weekend, suggesting that an Android 5.0.2 Lollipop rollout was just around the corner. Sure enough, users of the 3G and LTE versions of the slate have reported that the update has finally arrived.
Unlike the 5.0.2 update on the older Nexus 7 released in 2012, this one seems to deliver a more-than-okay performance for the Nexus 7 2013.
For starters, the latest update to the newer Nexus 7 doesn't seem to affect the device's speed negatively. Gotta Be Mobile's Josh Smith, who spent a week playing with the update on the tablet, says the speed on the newer Nexus 7 is much better than on the slate's older version, which proved to be laggy and not as smooth as when it was upgraded from Android KitKat.
However, for those who have the 5.0.2 update on their older Nexus 7, one solution suggested by other users is to restart the device. This should give the older Nexus 7 a dramatic boost in speed for many users, although Google still has to directly address the speed issues in the device.
