Moto G 2014 Android 5.0 Lollipop Update Rolling Out Now

Moto G 2014 Android 5.0 Lollipop Update Rolling Out Now

The Motorola Moto G 2014 Edition is currently being updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop, so you should keep an eye on your device’s Notifications panel. The update is currently rolling out in phases, which means that not all Moto G models are getting the updates at the same time.

The Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Moto G 2014 comes with tons of great new features and improvements that should add a whole new user experience. With this new release you should get the latest Material Design UI features, Notifications improvements, Quick Settings extra toggles, multi-user support, lock screen notifications, battery life saving feature, and more other great features.

The Moto G 2014 (2nd Gen) is one of the first devices that runs the Android 5.0 firmware, this is surprising as we were expecting Google to already release the new OS OTA upgrade for their Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 before Motorola. The update has been spotted on the Unlock U.S. variant of Moto G 2014 and it should soon be pushed out for all the Unlocked Moto G across the world.

After the roll out of Android 5.0 Lollipop is completed and all Moto G 2014 editions are upgraded, then you should expect Motorola to push the firmware for the first generation Moto G devices, too. In case you own the 2nd Gen Moto G and the update notification hasn’t appeared on your device, then you should go to Settings and use the System Updates menu in order to see if there are any new firmware files available for download.

Moto G 2014 is one of the first devices to receive this new Android 5.0 update because the OS that Motorola uses for their models doesn’t require any major modifications and it is very similar to the stock AOSP Android 5.0 Lollipop that Google pushes for Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7, Nexus 9 and Nexus 10 devices. If you’ve received the new update, then feel free to tell us in comments how’s your Moto G 2014 device working with Android 5.0 and which is your favorite new feature.
