In 2013 it was ironic that the Moto X actually received the newest version of Android a bit ahead of the Google Nexus 4 smartphone. We might get a repeat of that this year. Some leaked intel suggests that whenever Android 5.0 Lollipop hits the 2014 Moto X, it will be very soon, as it is already running in some form on the device.
Here's a quote with a summary,
While heavily redacted by us to protect our sources anonymity, we can still see from the Moto X’s 2014 About phone page that it is indeed a Moto X running Android 5.0. While we can’t publish which carrier these screenshot came from, the baseband version, or the full kernel information, we are able to reveal that the build running on this phone was completed about a week ago and has been making the rounds on test devices since then.
Feel free to speculate as to when the Moto X 2014 edition will get Android 5.0. Do you think it will beat out any of the Nexus devices again?
