The 2nd gen
Moto X Android 5.0 Lollipop update is now being rolled out for the Verizon
variant of the smartphone. Or at least that’s what a tweet by @droidlife is indicating. The same Tweet also includes a screenshot of the
Moto X Android 5.0 Lollipop update as proof.
The Verizon
users were invited to participated in the Android 5.0 Lollipop soak tests
for Moto X 2014 late last week and it looks like everything went as planned as
the update is now being rolled out. As you may know, the users who signed
up for Motorola’s Feedback Network are asked to test and give feedback
on new software versions before they are released for the public. Unless
anything unexpected occurs, the firmware is rolled out only days after the soak
test invites are sent in.
As usual, the
Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Verizon Moto X 2014 will be rolled out in phases,
which means that some of you might not be able to download and install it right
away. Once your unit is ready to get updated with the new firmware, you
should be able to see a system update message in the notifications bar. Tap on
it, then follow the on-screen instructions. In case the system
update notification failed to appear, you would also want to perform a
manual check under Settings > About phone > Software update > Check
now.
It’s also
worth noting that the Moto X 2014 Android 5.0 Lollipop update file has a weight
of around 680 MB. Therefore, we are recommending you to download the update
using a stable Wi-Fi network in order to avoid unwanted data charges.
Since Moto X
2014 is running an almost-stock version of Android, then the changes brought by
the Lollipop update should be similar to those for stock Android. Expect the
new Material Design philosophy, revamped notifications bar and quick settings,
lock screen notifications, Priority Mode, new Recent Apps screen, multi-user
support for phones, Screen pinning, better battery statistic and battery saver,
smart lock and overall better system performance. Of course, the update will
also bring some Motorola-specific improvements.
