Hello everyone,

I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 running Android version 4.4.2 and I would like to update it to version 5.0.1 or 5.1.
Could you please tell me the most reliable version and the steps to follow to perform the update?
Thank you in advance.

Hello,

You cannot update an Android mobile if the brand (here, Samsung) has not released a system update for the model (here, Galaxy S4 i9505). To check if a system update is available, you need to go to Apps>System update and then press the appropriate button. If an update is found, you can install the new version of Android.

If no update is found, you're out of luck. Alternatively, you can root your smartphone to install a Custom ROM and thus have a new version of Android. But this process is dangerous.

I hope my answer has been helpful.
