It is curious that in just a few weeks those from Mountain View announced a new version of their operating system for mobile devices, Android 5.1. And now we find out that another version of Android is being tested on different Nexus 5.
It is also curious that the first tests of the existence of Android 5.1.1 on a terminal that has already said goodbye to the Google Play store.
It is unknown at the moment what improvements this version will bring, although seeing that it will be a minimal update due to its compilation number (5.1.1), it is most likely that this future update fix some minor bugs of the fifth generation of the Nexus range. A history that repeats itself for the LG terminal, which went through the same when Android 5.0 Lollipop was announced and within weeks Google released 5.0.1, an update that served to improve battery problems, RAM memory management or correct unexpected closings of some applications. The leak comes thanks to the Geekbench application, an application that tests the performance of Android devices.
Google could be fixing the error titled memory leak, which many of the users with a Nexus 5 have communicated over the network since they updated to the latest version of Android. The error comes, as its name in English indicates, to the device's RAM memory. It turns out that with the Android 5.1 update, the system prevents the device has more than 1 GB of RAM of the 2 Gigas that it has. That means that even when the mobile phone is started and therefore the memory of the Nexus 5 is free, it turns out that this is not the case and the device would already have occupied almost 1 of the 2 Gigs of RAM without any application having been opened.
Once again Google wants to satisfy users who own a Nexus device, since it does not it is the only one in its range to be upgraded with the latest software updates. At the moment we have to wait until we receive more information to really know what will improve and when the release date of this new version will be, but without a doubt it is good news for users who have this terminal in their hands, showing that those in San Francisco continue to pamper yours.
