We loved the Galaxy Note 4, though its biggest drawback (as is often the case with Samsung devices) was the oppressive TouchWiz software. Samsung may be going for a softer touch on its phones with Lollipop, as indicated by some leaked screenshots to hit Twitter that show Android 5.0 running on a Galaxy Note 4.
We don’t get to see much else beyond the lock screen and notifications, but this early look hints there may be just a little more Lollipop and less TouchWiz when this finally goes live. The drop-down Notification Center and quick settings are more Samsung-inspired with the stark neon, but the pop-up notifications and lock-screen display both look closer to pure Lollipop.
With Motorola and Nexus devices already getting the big 5.0 update, Samsung needs to keep pace keeping buyers of its top-tier phones happy. Samsung’s dominating sales may be slipping, but it still sells a ton of phones. And the Galaxy Note 4 is one of the best this year, especially if you’re after a phablet-style device.
