The Dell Venue 8 tablet
was a remarkable surprise to many, including myself. The Intel processor keeps the battery alive for an exceptional amount of time and it packs enough power to keep your tablet needs moving. It also packed a three camera array on the rear that lead to some cool depth of field photography and editing abilities. While the cameras were present, the software that gave it the options came out a short time after the tablets launch. The drawback to the tablet was that it launched with Android 4.4.4 KitKat. Not the end of the world, but it was new enough that Lollipop could have been an option. The good news though is that Dell is now pushing Android 5.0.2 Lollipop to the device.
Droid-Life is reporting that the update it encrypted the device which took a few minutes. After installation and boot you will find the tablet is encrypted, but we aren’t exactly sure why it is a necessary step. My best guess would be in regards to the depth of field camera software, but anything is possible. Like all other Lollipop updates you will get the lockscreen notifications, the fancy and fluid animations and bold colors.
Anyone out there own a Dell Venue 8 tablet seeing the update today? If you don’t head into settings and give it a ping to see what happens.
