TestDrive Of Android 5.1 Lollipop Update For 2013 Moto X Ongoing: Possible Release In A Few Weeks

Motorola has started testing Android 5.1 Lollipop for the Moto X 2013, which means an official Lollipop upgrade for the two-year-old smartphone is just around the corner.

In a Google+ post, Motorola senior director of software product management David Schuster announced that the Lenovo-owned smartphone maker has started testing Android 5.1 for the first-generation Moto X for some users in the U.S. and Latin America via its early testing program TestDrive. This will be followed by the full release of Android 5.1 for all Moto X 2013 owners a few weeks after testing.
