By now I am sure you are all aware that the Motorola Nexus 6 has been announced. It is slated for a late October pre-order date with availability in November. Google has confirmed that Android L is indeed Android 5.0 Lollipop and the new Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player will all run it out of the box. They also confirmed the Nexus 4, 5, 7 and 10 will get Lollipop along side the Google Play Edition devices as well. During the flurry of information this morning Motorola also put out an additional announcement that pertained to a number of their current devices on the market and Android 5.0.
As it sits currently, Motorola plans to move a total of 9 devices to the new OS eventually. I only say eventually because they have to wit until Google officially makes Android 5.0 available. While it is what is install out of the box on the new Nexus line, it still isn’t really real yet. Once that happens Motorola can officially start pushing updates to devices. The timing per device and carrier will vary, of course.  Here is the current list of device that Motorola has plans to update.
- Moto X (both 1st and 2nd gen)
- Moto G (both 1st and 2nd gen)
- Moto G with 4G LTE
- Moto E
- Droid Ultra
- Droid Maxx
- Droid Mini
I am quite sure they will add the Droid Turbo to the list as soon as that device is announced. You can keep tabs on each device, and any new devices to make the cut, over at the Motorola Software update page that is dedicated to Android 5.0. We will be keeping tabs on Lollipop news as it hits for different devices, so expect to see updates for a while.
