A report from Sam Mobile pointed out that the recent statement from YouMobile, like most of its previous stories, "have always failed to materialize into something concrete" and is "baseless."
Sam Mobile clarifies things by citing their "trusted" insiders saying that "Samsung is not working on Android 5.1 for any of its devices at the moment" let alone the handset in question.
The site went on to dish out rumors saying that the South Korean tech company is rolling out the latest version of its UX to Note 4 with the OS update.
To the disappointment of the Galaxy Note 4 users, it is reiterated that the said smartphone will be staying on Android 5.0.x "for the foreseeable future."
Along with this news, the publication said that Samsung is currently focused in bringing the Lollipop updates to its Galaxy A lineup which includes the Galaxy A3, A5 and the A7. However, it is not indicated as to when the update will roll out for the said devices.
