If you are among the lucky ones to have this device, make sure to have the battery at least 50% charged and use a Wi-Fi network before starting the download. If you have already received the notification, just follow the usual steps to download the file. If not, you can check the availability of the update from the “About phone” menu, under the Settings icon. Once there, select “System update” and tap on “Yes, I’m in” if the updated is available.

In any case, once the software has been downloaded, select “Install now” and wait until the phone re-start. Now you should be enjoying the new Android 5.0 Lollipop.
