Android L 5.0 OTA Update & Download: List of HTC, Samsung, Sony & Motorola Devices to Receive Lollipop OS

By Staff| Dec 22, 2014

Are you still waiting for your device to receive the latest Android OS? Ever since Lollipop rolled out Nov. 3, prospects have been eyeing its arrival on their respective handsets, while factory images popped here and there. Flashing these downloads might be the fastest way to get a taste of Lollipop, but the process could be too technical for some. Hence, we've always recommended waiting for official OTA updates.

Carry on, because the odds remain to be in your device's favor, unless Android tells Lollipop won't support it. We've provided the list of units set to receive the 5.0 upgrade below.
