Which all devices will get android lollipop update?

Google has finally named the next version of Android as Lollipop, and it's a whole new version - 5.0. Here's what you need to know about Android 5.0 Lollipop's release date, design and new features.

We've been running Android Lollipop for a few months now, back when it was known only as Android L. Android L is no faster than android kit kat

Google launched Android 4.4 KitKat last September and then showed off Android L at its I/O 2014 developer conference before officially announcing its final name and version number today.

New Android L: Release date and upgrades

If you're buying a Nexus 6 or Nexus 9, you can get Android Lollipop from November 3rd (if you're in the UK, you'll be able to pre-order in November and receive your phablet or tablet within a few weeks). But if you already have a Nexus 5, 7 or 10 you should get it in a free over-the-air update in the "coming weeks" according to Google's blog.

Motorola

If you have a Moto G or Moto X (all generations), a Moto E or various other smartphones, Motorola has said Lollipop will be available later this year.

Sony

Sony has confirmed that it will bring Android 5.0 Lollipop to the entire Xperia Z range (smartphones and tablets) which is quite impressive as some are pretty old now. Upgrades will start with the core Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 series in early 2015.

HTC

If you have an HTC One M8 or M7, there's good news since the company has said it will deliver the update within 90 days of getting the final version of Android L from Google. All the other 'One' smartphones will get the update, but it will be after those first two devices.

Samsung

Samsung hasn't yet said which devices will get Lollipop, nor when, but all current Galaxy smartphones should be updated, and quite possibly some older ones. The issue is that Samsung has never been quick to roll out Android updates, so don't hold your breath.

LG

LG is another firm which has remained tight-lipped about Lollipop rollouts, but G3 owners can probably rest easy knowing one is on the way. G2 owners might be pleasantly surprise too.

Before the launch, Google released a teaser video for Android L with lots of possible names including Lemon Drop, Lady Finger, Lava Cake and Lemon Meringue Pie. A notable name missing was Lollipop and now we know why.
