The month of November has provided a rush of newAndroid 5.0 Lollipop release details for owners of Google’s Nexus devices,
HTC smartphones, LG smartphones, Motorola smartphones, Samsung smartphones, and
Sony devices. With details swirling, we want to take a look at the current
climate and examine the 10 most important things to know, right now, about the
Android 5.0 Lollipop release.
Earlier this year, Google took the
stage at Google I/O and announced an Android L update. In October, Google
finally confirmed the name and release of that update, now known as Android 5.0
Lollipop. Android 5.0 Lollipop, as expected, is a major update to the Android
operating system, arguably the biggest change to the Android OS since its
release.
Its brought massive change to
Google’s stable of Nexus smartphones and tablets, Motorola’s Moto X and Moto G,
and it’s set to bring massive changes to devices on a collection of other
Android manufacturers including Sony, Samsung, and more.
This month, we’ve seen the Android 5.0 Lollipop
update make substantial progress as
companies, including Google, have pushed out Android 5.0 Lollipop updates to
key devices. Of course, the enormity of the update’s release can be a lot to
handle, especially for those that aren’t in tune with the smartphone world and
only check in sparingly. That’s where we come in.
In an effort to inform as many
Android users as we possibly can, we want to take a look at the most important
things to know, right now, about the ongoing Android 5.0 Lollipop release for
top companies. This roundup will cover key details for Nexus devices, Google
Play Edition devices, HTC devices, LG devices, Motorola devices, Samsung
devices, and Sony devices. Those of you touting other smartphones or tablets

That said, here are the details we
consider the most important as we head toward the end of November and the end
of the year.
