Yibada cited that the Moto X and Moto G will receive the update, but Motorola stated that they are still working with Google to ensure that Android 5.1.1 will perform well on the Moto 360. For users who had some issues and bugs on the Android 5.0, they can expect several fixes that will improve both stability and performance. There will be new features too like Guest Mode, which allows multiple users to access the device and offers added protection to the owner. Guest Mode also lets users save their own messages and apps. A Kids Mode feature will also be available to provide additional safety to users.
although the Android 5.1 offers various fixes to bugs, there are thousands of usage variations and environment conditions that would make it impossible to make the OS completely bug-free.
Users of the Moto G 2nd Generation will notice an enhanced camera and a bigger screen compared to its predecessor, based on the same TechWorm report. Android 5.1 Lollipop also brings back the silent mode which was lacking on the Android 5.0. It improved RAM battery management, fixed Wi-Fi and sound problems and fixed apps that suddenly close during operation. With the new Android Lollipop 5.1,
Moto smartphone users will have native support for versions that include more than one SIM-cards. Users can further join Wi-Fi networks as well as manage paired Bluetooth devices straight from the Quick Settings portion of the notification bar.
The update was expected to become available beginning June 10, 2015, but others might find the notification at a later period. The update may also be done manually. Users can go to Settings, then About Phone, and then Software Update to check if the update is already available. Users can then connect to a Wi-Fi network and charge their phone to begin the download and installation process without interruption.
speaking about sony,
Sony is all set to release Android Lollipop to a myriad of its smartphones. The company has announced that Android 5.1 Lollipop, which serves as the newest build of the operating system, is now in development for most of its Xperia devices and will be initially available come July.
Owners of Xperia Z devices were recently treated to Android 5.0 Lollipop but those rocking the Xperia M2 and M2 Aqua, which still run Android 4.4 KitKat, have yet to make the jump. The good news is that these aforementioned devices are part of the company's massive Lollipop rollout plans.
Back in March, Sony announced that there are no Android Lollipop update plans for its handsets except for the Z family, which made users upset and furious. Tech Times believes the disappointment this elicited drove the company to update its other lineups as well.
Sony will rollout Android 5.1 Lollipop starting July and this is the complete list of handsets (segregated by family) this covers:
- Sony Xperia Z3 series: Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3v, Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact
- Sony Xperia Z2 series: Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet
- Sony Xperia Z1 series: Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z1S, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z Ultra GPE
- Sony Xperia Z series: Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR and Xperia Tablet Z
- Sony Xperia M2 and Xperia M2 Aqua
