Once again, these from Motorola They continue to amaze us with their successful policy of official updates, and if the news given by the colleagues of Phandroid is officially confirmed, the Moto X 2014 could become the first terminal to receive Android 5.0 Lollipop, once again getting ahead of even Google's Nexus.
According to our colleagues from Phandroid, who do not cite the source so as not to compromise it, the Moto X 2014 would already have finished the official update to Android 5.0 Lollipop, and they would even have been in the internal testing phase for a couple of weeks to verify that everything is going as it should and does not have any type of problem or bug, as unfortunately it seems to have happened to those at Google with the tremendous drainage of the battery caused by the Wifi connection, which has even led them to delay official updates for their Nexus terminals.
Finally, if it has just been officially confirmed that the Moto X 2014 is the first terminal to receive Android 5.0 Lollipop, even before Google's Nexus range, we will be before the tessitura of that whoever wants can, thus dismantling the poor and unfortunate arguments with which we tend to try to convince large companies in the sector, undisputed leaders in sales and with many more resources than those of Motorola.

Companies like Samsung, Sony o LG that leave us stranded at the first change leaving very recent terminals out of the official list or even carrying out late updates that, far from improving our user experience, often make it worse until leaving the updated terminals practically unusable. And if not, ask many users of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and its botched update to Android Kit Kat.
You just have to go around this post that in his day I wrote for Report botched Samsung updates, and take a look at the comments from the readers themselves Androidsis to see to what extent manufacturers are more interested in selling new and very expensive terminals than updating and retaining customers who once trusted them to purchase a new Android terminal.
What is very clear is that when I decide to change my terminal, which as you all know I have a LG G2 which seems to me an exceptional device, this time I will do it for a Google Nexus or by one of the North American catalog Motorola, so in this way I will make sure to have, at least for the first 18 months, guaranteed official updates and in record time.
The other option to purchase a new terminal is to enter the official website of Cyanogenmod, ParanoidAndroid, omnirom or other independent developers, and see if the terminal we have chosen for the purchase is included in their compatible terminal catalogs. In this way we ensure support for new versions of Android even long after 18 months. And if not, ask the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 which still enjoys updates thanks to official support for Cyanogenmod 11 Android 4.4.4.
To finish this post, which in the end has come out as always as a complaint about the way these large companies that manufacture mobile devices behave. I want to end by congratulating in advance the leaders of Motorola for the success they are having with the policy taken in the updates for their products sold, and whether or not it is the Moto X 2014 the first terminal to receive Android 5.0 LollipopWhat really matters is that you will have it, and surely in record time.
