Within days of the soak tests, Motorola has announced that it has started rolling out the Android 5.0 update for Moto G (2nd Gen) and Moto X (2nd Gen) Pure Edition in the United States.
“Get ready for something sweet! AndroidTM 5.0, Lollipop is officially here for some of our Motorola devices. We’ve started to roll out Lollipop in phases just a week after the public release of the software,” stated Seshadri Tangutur, Software Engineer at Motorola, in a blog post.
The update will reach these phones over-the-air in the next few days. There is no word on the global roll-out, but it should not take much time.
