Verizon’s Galaxy Note 4 is getting a software update, not Android 5.1.1

Firmware
By 

Last updated: July 8th, 2015 at 18:24 UTC+02:00

Verizon is pushing out an update to the Galaxy Note 4 today, with the update available through only Kies at the moment. According to users who are getting update, the build is still Android 5.0.1 (build number N910VVRU2BOF1) and there don't seem to be any notable changes. The Kies version of the update is 2GB in size – that's quite large, but remember that Kies downloads the entire firmware so you get a large file no matter how big the actual update is.

Verizon hasn't posted a changelog yet, though that should change once the over-the-air (OTA) version of the update starts rolling out to devices. Head into the Settings » About device » Software updates menu and hit the Check now button if you don't want to download the 2GB file through Kies, or just wait till a notification for the OTA pops up on your Note 4's status bar.

Oh, and if you don't have a Galaxy Note 4 but are looking to buy a nice new phablet at a discounted price, you can take advantage of Samsung's Notable Savings deal, which is offering the device at a $200 rebate discount till July 26th. This deal is only for the GSM variant though, so you are out of luck if Verizon or Sprint are your carriers of choice.
