Devices getting Android 5.0 Lollipop so far
If you're a die-hard
Android fan, you're probably champing at the bit waiting for that Lollipop upgrade - when will you get it? Are you going to get it? Thankfully for you, a number of companies have already promised to upgrade some of their devices to this candy-flavored OS.
Google's
Nexus 4,
Nexus 5,
Nexus 7 and
Nexus 10 models are naturally first in line, as are
Android One and
Google Play Edition hardware.
Its outgoing
Motorola brand is equally on top of things with plans to patch the
Moto E,
Moto G and
Moto X alongside
Verizon's Droid Mini,
Maxx and
Ultra.
HTC and
OnePlus don't have full details, but they're both pledging to give their recent flagships a taste of Lollipop within 90 days of receiving finished code.
NVIDIA and
Sony, meanwhile, are being a bit vague. While they're respectively teasing plans to update the
Shield Tablet and the
Xperia Z series, they won't say exactly when just yet; Sony has committed to the "beginning of 2015" for
Z2 and
Z3 models.
As for other manufacturers? Well, don't hold your breath.
LG says that it has nothing to say on "if / when"
Lollipop will reach the
G3, let alone older gear. The upgrade is likely coming, but the statement is far from reassuring.
It's also reasonable to expect that relatively large brands like
Acer, ASUS, Huawei and Xiaomi are on deck - just don't be shocked if their older devices don't make the cut.
