Is there a Galaxy S5 Google Play Edition yet? I want to drop Touchwiz so bad.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Will my old Samsung Nexus get this?

 

[BigFwoosh]

Will my old Samsung Nexus get this?

Galaxy Nexus? Not a chance, unless the hacking community gets it done.

 

[DietRob]

Will my old Samsung Nexus get this?

The Nexus S 4g? I doubt it.

 

[ukas]

Wait the Nexus 4 isn't getting this?

Oh come on!

Looks like its 2 years are just about up.

 

[kharma45]

Looks like its 2 years are just about up.

It is getting it.

 

[sometimes i game]

Cool. Excited to see this as Android L seems like the first time Google is trying to make a cohesive, unique experience across the platform instead of feeling like the OS is a bunch of apps glued together created by different teams who don't talk to eachother and only vaguely understand their own design guidelines.

And nice that all that tron design is being thrown out. That was weird.

I'm leaving Android land for a 6+ for a year, I'll be checking back in and I hope to see android in a really solid gorgeous place in that time. Lots of apps have to catch up to this ui.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Looks beautiful. Love how the call/address book menus look in particular.

Carry on, Google.

This update is major! Can't wait yo get it on my nexus 5

 

[TeegsD]

Does anyone know what that new messaging app is that they are showing in the various screens of Android 5?

 

[Rayis]

I doubt my old LG device is going to get this but it does sound pretty cool, I'll be stuck with jelly bean for a while.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Wait... Nexus 4 is alive? Thank the gods Lollipop!

 

[RoadHazard]

Does anyone know what that new messaging app is that they are showing in the various screens of Android 5?

Probably just Hangouts with a new icon. Good job if so, the current green speech bubble thing looks bad.

 

[TeegsD]

I was thinking that but I still see hangouts in some of those same screens, i mean, as it currently is. Plus, if they were updating hangouts so soon, why release the new desktop app with the old icon?

 

[Epic Drop]

So glad that the Nexus 4 is actually getting this... Hoping I can pull one more year out of my trusty Nexus 4

 

[survivor]

Nice its coming to nexus 4, I can keep using my phone till next year's update then.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Wow Android TV coming as part of Lollypop with Nexus Player - http://www.google.com/nexus/player/

Been itching for a decent Android TV device.

 

[Allez Phill]

Why do I have to be poor?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Hope my LG g2 will still get am update.

 

[Frustrated_me]

I have a HTC ONE locked to Rogers in Canada. Can I grab Android 5.0 from Google and install a fresh copy onto my HTC ONE? Or do I need to wait for HTC/Google to release a Rogers specific version of Android One?

 

[Dead Prince]

i assume other devices will get it around november 3 when the new N devices are sold in store.

 

[Mister0079]

Motorola confirmed it's coming to most of their devices as well.

Moto X (1st Gen. & 2nd Gen.)
Moto G (1st Gen. & 2nd Gen.)
Moto G with 4G LTE
Moto E
Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx, and Droid Mini

I think the Moto G is the best tech purchase I've made in years. Amazing phone at an amazing price with constant updates. It gets updates earlier than all the expensive Sony and Samsung flagship phones.

 

[Horseticuffs]

Damn my nexus 4 is like one of my best investments ever. Had it for over a year with nary an issue. Had to reset to factory a few months ago but everything but my text archive reloaded itself no issue.

It's an absolute beast.

So if I wanted to upgrade early next year for less than 300 USD what's my best option? Anything at this point?

 

[jwhit28]

Same, my only disappointment is the Cast Screen option not actually working.

 

[AuthenticM]

I want to see videos of the new UI.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

I think the Moto G is the best tech purchase I've made in years. Amazing phone at an amazing price with constant updates. It gets updates earlier than all the expensive Sony and Samsung flagship phones.

The most surprising thing is the Moto E, I picked one up for £60 on offer and it got 4.4.4 really quickly, I'm impressed that it's even getting lollypop.

 

[CurlySaysX]

Did they get rid of their blink rendering engine, or at least improve it so that it gives text reflow like webkit?

 

[dc89]

My Xperia Z3 is ready. I think. I only just got it and I'm new to Android...am I ready?

 

[Koppai]

So the galaxy note 4 I'm getting on Friday won't be able to get this?

 

[kharma45]

So the galaxy note 4 I'm getting on Friday won't be able to get this?

It will when Samsung has a build ready to go.

My Xperia Z3 is ready. I think. I only just got it and I'm new to Android...am I ready?

You will be when Sony has it ready and it's approved by them and your network. It'll be a few months yet.

 

[BertramCooper]

This webm from the main Lollipop page is the only shot of Hangouts (I'm assuming it's Hangouts) I see in any of this. The old green icon is nowhere to be found in any of the screenshots.

It definitely seems to be getting some sort of overhaul. I'm guessing that mysterious messaging icon really is the new Hangouts icon.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Was hoping for some AndroidWear 2.0 announcements :[ Pretty sure we're supposed to hear something in the next few days though.

Looking forward to this update. Material sounds cool.

 

[Sapiens]

I like simple pleasures, like butter in my ass, lollipops in my mouth

 

[Consequence]

Hope my LG g2 will still get am update.

I'm not convinced it'll happen. I'll likely just install it myself once a ROM is available.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Oh cool, my Nexus 7 was just sitting around waiting for an update. Thanks Google.

Yep, think so too. And this looks a lot better than the current Hangouts. I wonder why they did that crappy redesign a while back if they were gonna roll out a new version with L anyway.

 

[makingmusic476]

If the Nexus 5's battery life is considerably improved, I may just make that my new phone.

I knew this was gonna happen but seeing the blog statement makes me so happy. Super pleased with my moto g 2nd gen right now and excited for this update. Such a better experience overall with motorola than I have had with samsung or htc. Granted HTC has improved through the years

 

[RoadHazard]

The battery is the same (2300 mAh), but L should make it last a bit longer.

 

[BertramCooper]

I think the biggest problem with that green speech bubble icon (and the green-themed app interface) is that it doesn't really scream "stock messaging app," which is what Hangouts now is. It doesn't blend into the overall OS the way a stock messaging app should.

Google seems to have finally realized this.

I hope S4 is supported, come on Samsung I want a new OS for my phone.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Improved notifications is godly. I really dislike how I could read a text message from the preview screen but the notification wouldn't go away unless you went directly into the app and opened your inbox.

swipe the notification?

 

[Rnr1224]

Why do I have to be poor?

Hopefully they announce a date soon. I'm ready to put this on my Nexus 5!

 

[BertramCooper]

Okay, so the Lollipop SDK arrives on Friday.

Based on that, when can we expect the OTA updates to start rolling out?

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Can't wait for Verizon to make this available on my Note 3 in 2020!

You the best, Verizon...

 

[BertramCooper]

Well, maybe I'm wrong about Hangouts.

This Nexus 9 video shows the green speech bubble icon on Lollipop.

What, no Droid Razr HD? Come ahhhhhhn.

 

[dcelw540]

So any word on Galaxy S3?

asking the same thing and what about anyother galaxy phones as well
