But those who aren't yet ready to buy a new device will be wondering when their current ones will be updated to the new OS, if at all.Google has confirmed that many of its earlier Nexus devices will be getting the update first, but other manufacturers will be announcing their own Lollipop update plans separately. Of the leading global OEMs, some have already revealed details about which of their devices will get Android 5.0.HTCHTC already has plenty of experience with Lollipop, having worked with Google on developing the Nexus 9 tablet.As GSM Arena reports, HTC has so far confirmed that four of its handsets will get the update. The HTC One (M7) and One (M8) will both get Lollipop within the next 90 days. The One mini and One mini 2 are also due to be updated, but the delivery schedule for these devices has not yet been finalized.SonyIn a blog post on its site, Sony has confirmed that it will bring Android 5.0 to its entire Xperia Z Series of devices, all the way back to the original Xperia Z, which was released in February of last year. However, it will be some time before the update rolls out, as Sony says that it won't actually start upgrading devices until the "beginning of 2015". First to be updated will be the Xperia Z Ultra Google Play Edition, followed by the "core Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2 series", with other Z devices receiving the update later.MotorolaLike HTC with the Nexus 9, Motorola worked closely with Google on the development of the Nexus 6 handset.In a blog post, the company has announced a complete list of all of the devices that will get Android 5.0 in the months ahead:Moto X, first- and second-generationMoto G, first- and second-generationMoto G with 4G LTEMoto EDroid UltraDroid MaxxDroid MiniNVIDIANVIDIA worked with both Google and HTC on the Nexus 9, but the graphics chip manufacturer also has an Android device of its own.

geeteam Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 [update] List of HTC Phones to receive the updateThe first HTC device to get Lollipop is going to be the Google Play Edition of the HTC One M8 and that is going to be as early as November; December being the absolute latest we should expect the update to be pushed. The Nexus lineup should see this version of Android hit as early as the first week of November given the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 ship on November 3rd. A good testimony from HTC would be to see the HTC One M7 GPE to get Android 5.0 also in November or at least before the end of December.If all goes well, the Sense version of the HTC One M8 and HTC One M7 will be knocking on the doors of the respective carriers searching for approval as early as January. The dates for the dual SIM models of the HTC One M7 and HTC One M8 starts to stretch from January to March and the Desire lineup as well as the mini handsets could be prolonged until April.
