The Galaxy S4 came out nearly two years ago and even though it was a evolutionary update of the Galaxy S3 it still ended up performing quite well in the market. So it goes without saying that many users on Sprint, which is the third largest mobile carrier in the United States, have been waiting on the carrier to release the Lollipop update. Today it has. Sprint has now started rolling out the Android 5.0 update to both the regular Galaxy S4 and its Sprint Spark variant.
Many of you would remember that Sprint did release the Lollipop update for the Galaxy S4 Spark variant late last month but it appears that the carrier pulled the update soon after due to some issues. Sprint has now refreshed the support pages for both devices to reflect that the update is indeed rolling out, Galaxy S4 owners are getting software version L720VPUGOD2 while the Spark variant owners get L720TVPUCOD2 which not only bumps up the OS version to 5.0 Lollipop but also adds the Factory Reset Protection feature.
