Trovate qui sotto il changelog dettagliato, nel quale spiccano il supporto per il Bluetooth Low Energy, e miglioramenti per notifiche nel lock screen e per la stampa. D'altro canto l'esperienza d'uso è così personalizzata che difficilmente l'assenza di KitKat sottostante è qualcosa da notare, così come lo sarà quella di Lollipop. Se foste curiosi di conoscere ogni dettaglio, qui sotto c'è il changelog completo, mentre per quanto riguarda l'aggiornamento, oltre che via OTA, è disponibile anche per il download diretto.
