Someone should do a mini review once you update

I'm actually a bit worried about this. On the one hand I'm excited, but on the other, I play a lot of Squaresoft games, and to this point they haven't been ART-friendly.

The ART in lollipop is backwards compatible, so it shouldn't be an issue!

I will be sure to post my thoughts on the update once I receive it. I will say after updating my Nexus 7 (2012) which uses the Tegra 3 SoC from NVIDIA I am very pleased with what new life it has given my Nexus 7.

And it is going to be only a matter of time that all developers are going to have no choice but to support ART fully if they want to stay competitive or be left behind.

Wow, it's kind of awesome how all these devices are getting the updates so quick. Heck, this thing is probably gonna get the update faster than my N5.

If anyone has downloaded the update yet how is the wifi connectivity? I keep hearing people talk about wifi issues but I'm wondering if that is overblown at all. Also I'm interested in if the update enables a knock to wake feature on it or not. Thanks

Not that I'm aware of.

No the knock to wake feature is not included from what I know.

Guess what? It's not backwards compatible. Just got the update, and guess which Final Fantasy games work? None.
