    Yesterday my brother came to me and asked to install Lollipop in his S4 i9500. I searched the internet and after getting through some tutorials found the easiest way to install the latest version of Android on his S4 i9500, i am sharing the method with you after going through this you will be able to install latest update in just 8 simple steps.

    Samsung Russia is reportedly started seeding the official Android 5.0.1 Lollipop update for the Exynos 5 octa-core running Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500).

    Its size is 1049MB so Samsung has removed apps like Google Play Books, Movies and others to make some space.
