Another Samsung smartphone is getting the Android 5.0 Lollipop update.

Samsung has rolled out the latest Android update for its Galaxy S4 LTE-A (GT-19506), according to Sam Mobile website. "What's notable about the Lollipop update for this device is the fact that it is already available in three different regions (Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Germany), though maybe that's not so impressive considering the Galaxy S4 LTE-A was never that widely available in the first place," it said.

In addition, the website's tracker listed Austria and Nordic countries as having the Android firmware update.

It said the Lollipop update has a common build number, I9506XXUDOA6, for Slovakia, Czech Republic and Germany.

Samsung has also released the Lollipop update for Galaxy S4 in India, Sam Mobile added.

Android 5.0, according to Sam Mobile, "brings Material Design to the user interface along with a host of new features, such as heads-up notifications, refreshed notifications system, new multitasking menu, multiple user accounts, guest user mode, and Android Smart Lock among others. It should also improve the battery life as well as the device's security and performance."

Besides the Lollipop updated, Samsung U.S. announced that AT&T users of Galaxy S5 Active phone will receive the Android KitKat 4.4.4 (baseband version G870AUCU1AOA1) update.

It said the update will contain "miscellaneous improvements, bug fixes, and security updates."

AT&T customers will receive an alert to download the update or they can download it manually.

"When prompted, you can postpone the update up to 3 times, and 4 hours per occurrence. After the update has been postponed for the maximum allowable time, your device will automatically download and install the update," according to the announcement.

Samsung has been rolling out the Lollipop updates in many countries.

The Android 5.50 Lollipop was unveiled last June during the Google I/O conference in San Francisco, California.
