HERE ARE THE PHONES TO BE GETTING GOOGLE LOLLIPOP UPDATE

Four months ago, Google revealed the biggest Android update yet: Android 5.0, or “Lollipop”. One of the biggest changes that will come with this update will be the introduction of Material Design — a new design language that emphasises more on shadows and colors.
There are some other improvements too – Project Volta, back end enhancements meant to improve battery life.
Unlike the iOS devices, Android devices don’t get major software updates at the same time. It always depends on which type of phone you have; and even then many Android phones that are left out of major carrier updates too.
The exact release date for Android 5.0 has still not been revealed, but here’s a list of the devices that will get this update:

Google

Google’s Nexus 6 will come with Android 5.0 pre-installed, and both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 will receive the update too. Google has reportedly given developers a date of Nov. 3 for the launch.

HTC

Jeff Gordon, HTC’s global online communications manager, tweeted that the HTC’s One M8 and One M7 will both get Android 5.0 within 90 days of its release.

Motorola

Last week,  Motorola tweeted that the Moto X and Moto G will get Android 5.0, along with the Moto G LTE, Moto E and the Droid phones.

Samsung

No official announcements have come from Samsung regarding the Android 5.0 update for its smartphones, but rumors suggest the Galaxy S5 will get the update come December. Samsung also teased an Android Lollipop update for its new Galaxy Note 4 via Twitter. It’s likely that Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3, will also get the update.

LG

LG hasn’t revealed which of its phones will get the Android Lollipop yet either, but rumors from tech blogs, such as GSM Arena, suggest the LG G3 will get the update before the end of the year, and the G2 will receive the upgrade in early 2015.
