A number of Motorola devices have Lollipop update, the same can’t be said for the original Moto X. For those Moto X owners still holding out for Google’s latest sweet treat, the good news is that it may finally be coming “in a few weeks”.

In April, Motorola confirmed that the Moto X would be straight updated to Android 5.1 Lollipop from KitKat, although a few did manage to get hands on an earlier soak test of Android 5.0 on the Moto X (2013) before it was ultimately canceled in favor of moving to 5.1.

The wait is almost over. For Moto X owners still on KitKat, how you feel about this long wait? Leave a comment
