    Updated only for soak test... Lollipop 5.0.1 will be released to the normal users within 2 to 3 weeks.. They might skip 5.0...Only reason for the late release of lollipop for moto g in India is the release of nexus 6

        Bloody Motorola. Didn't update lollipop yet for moto g2 in India. Hate them. I'm fed up. I don't care for lollipop update. They killed all the excitement. So much waiting for one lousy update. Its frustrating.

          I have moto g2. But I didn't receive the lollipop update yet. How did you get. Did you get it through soak test or got a direct update?

              Anonymous, 20 Dec 2014S3 (1gb version) was a slow phone it's true fact, i had one... moreYou say S3 got 4.3.. Isn't that what the guy said? That S3 did not get KitKat..
              Isn't it too early to crib about your moto x not having gotten lollipop? Even a few Nexus devices haven't got lollipop yet..

              Yes battery drain is a bug in Motorola update.. However it is a "feature" in Samsung phones :P

Other manufacturer provide better hardware and smooth android experience at lesser price compared to laggy Samsung.

It can be safer or can be more efficient. As Google can actually update Google Play Services to update some kind of these three reasons too.
