When it comes to Android 5.0 Lollipop, users are excited to see it power their phones. As such, manufacturers are trying to deliver the update as soon as possible, and, while at it, share as much information as they can on the process, and its status, with their customers. Whether that’s on social media outlets — like LG recently did with announcing an Android 5.0 Lollipop update timetable on Facebook for the LG G3 and the LG G2 — or in the shape of rumors and reports — like in the case of the purported Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 Lollipop update expected in December — it’s all about satisfying a user base (customer base), as software updates are part of the manufacturer’s phone support policy and activity.

Motorola has a different approach to all of this. The company is well known for its commitment to delivering updates in a very timely manner, which is something that might either be buried deep in its DNA, or something inherited from its Google-owned days (before Google decided to sell to Lenovo). An update tracker for the Android 5.0 Lollipop refresh has been officially published on the Motorola Support page, where users can check the status of the refresh at any time.

Phones included in the tracker are basically almost the entire 2013 and 2014 line-up, from the most recent Moto X and Moto G, to last year’s Moto X and Moto G, Droid models which are currently offered in the US as carrier phones, some tablets, so it’s safe to assume that if you have a relatively fresh Motorola smartphone, it will be listed on the tracker mentioned above (and sourced at the link below). However, not all of them will be eligible to receive the latest iteration of Google’s mobile operating system: the two Moto X (original and second generation), and the two Moto G (original and second generation) phones are on the shortlist, and so is the Moto E, and a couple of Droids.

Using the tracker doesn’t necessarily revert with exact information (in case of the second generation Moto X, the information is rather vague: “This device will be upgraded to the Android 5 Lollipop release of Android, pending partner support”), but, as Motorola puts it, the list and information within “will evolve over time, so check back for changes”.
