If you’re residing in the UK, and are a proud owner of the second generation Moto X, there’s a piece of good news for you.
Motorola has started rolling out the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Moto X (2014) in the UK. There’s one catch here, it’s just for the unlocked variant of the handset.
What’s New in Android 5.0 Lollipop?
The latest update brings a host of improvements and new features to the handset, including the all-new Material Design with a simplistic design and new visuals. Material Design introduces a more colorful and responsive UI, making interactions more intuitive and delightful. The update also includes improved lock screen notifications, allowing users to view and respond to messages directly from the lock screen without having to unlock their device.
Battery management has also seen significant improvements with the introduction of a new battery saver mode, which can extend the device’s battery life by up to 90 minutes. This is particularly useful for users who are always on the go and need their device to last throughout the day.
Security enhancements are another key feature of the Lollipop update. The update includes improved security features such as Smart Lock, which allows users to set their device to unlock automatically when it is in a trusted location or connected to a trusted device, such as a Bluetooth watch or car system. This adds an extra layer of convenience and security for users.
The ART runtime is another significant improvement in the Lollipop update. ART (Android Runtime) replaces the older Dalvik runtime and offers better performance and smoother operation. This means that apps will run faster and more efficiently, providing a better overall user experience.
How to Get the Update
The update is rolling out as we speak, but it’s not necessary that it will land on your device right away. The update is rolled out in phases, so it may take a few days to reach all devices. This phased rollout helps ensure that any potential issues can be identified and addressed before the update reaches all users.
But in case you can’t wait for the OTA update to arrive, you can manually check for the update by going to Settings > About Device > System Updates. If the update is available for your device, you will be prompted to download and install it. Make sure your device is connected to Wi-Fi and has sufficient battery life before starting the update process to avoid any interruptions.
It’s also a good idea to back up your data before updating, just in case something goes wrong during the update process. While the update process is generally smooth and trouble-free, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
