We have been hearing that the Motorola DROID Turbo would be getting its dose of Android Lollipop for the last few months. Motorola Engineer Luciano Carvalho said back in March that the DROID Turbo would be skipping other iterations of Lollipop, like 5.0.1 and 5.0.2, and jumping straight to Lollipop 5.1. The next round of talks said the update would coming on June 10th. It is now June 11th and it seems no one is reporting any update and Verizon isn’t talking. However, they did make a slight alteration to the spec sheet for the device on their website, but instead of listing Android 5.1, it lists Android 5.0.2.
Digging through Verizon support pages we can see that the typical PDF file that shows update details hasn’t been updated to reflect anything new yet. Motorola’s website doesn’t offer any word either and their spec sheet still reads as Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
I am sure this will irritate more than a few DROID Turbo owners out there at first, but there is no reason to believe that Android 5.1 isn’t right around the corner though. There is a chance that it is just an error on Verizon’s part, but I doubt it. It sort of makes sense to push out each update in order, but do it quicker than normal. Verizon does need time to make sure all their apps they add to the device work to a certain degree before hand. I expect to see some sort of update headed to the Turbo over the next few days, so you can expect something to happen soon at least.
