Nexus 5 running Android 5.1 spotted on Geekbench

Back in December, we told you that Android 5.1
could be introduced in February . While we have
seen signs of the update appear now and then,
including today's appearance in the Philippines
powering up new Android One devices, we might
be closer to seeing the update rollout for stock
Android powered Nexus models.
Proof of this comes via the Geekbench benchmark
website where a Nexus 5 was spotted on Monday
with Android 5.1 installed. The update is
supposed to bring back the silent mode that was
taken away in Android 5.0. Other changes
expected include an improved battery life, better
RAM management, and improvements in system
stability. Issues with 'Okay Google ' are removed
as are problems with notifications.
Despite the move from Android 5.0 to Android
5.1, no change is expected in the name of the
build. In the past, we have seen Google go from
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to Android 4.1
Jelly Bean. Perhaps with only 26 letters in the
alphabet, Google is looking to reserve some
letters and desserts for the future. As to when
the update will be officially sent to Nexus models,
it could be sometime before February comes to an
end.
Thanks for the tip!
