With Android Lollipop rollouts slowing down, there are still a few stragglers out there waiting for OTA updates from various U.S. carriers to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Among them, Asus's ZenFone lineup, including the ZenFone 4, ZenFone 5, and ZenFone 6 smartphones, which just announced a delay in its OTA rollout for Android L.
Several variants and later iterations of the Sony Xperia Z have already received an Android Lollipop update, yet the original flagship Sony Xperia Z has gone un-updated so far. That's no longer going to be the case, as the official OTA rollout for the Sony Xperia Z has an official release date.
Even as many Android devices across the country are still receiving the Android 5.0 Lollipop update -- or waiting in anticipation, hopeful that their Android device may end up getting Lollipop -- Google has recently posted factory images of another Lollipop upgrade, Android 5.1.1, on its developers' site.
Android 5.0 Lollipop is still the hottest update rolling out to smartphones around the world, even though Android 5.1 Lollipop has hit devices higher on the upgrade queue -- and even an Android 5.1.1 Lollipop has been spotted. For users of the Samsung Galaxy S4 on U.S. carrier Verizon (model number SCH-i545), the wait for an OTA rollout of Android 5.0 Lollipop is over, as it's available now.

While Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA release dates are still hard to come by for many flagship Android devices manufactured by third party OEMs, Motorola has been one of the swiftest to get its devices the latest Google OS possible.
It's no secret that U.S. owners of premium Android phones, especially with devices customized by carrier, are having to wait weeks or months longer than many other markets in the world to get their Android 5.0 Lollipop updates.
HTC has been pretty decently good at keeping its Android 5.0 Lollipop update release date promises, at least compared to other Android OEMs. But owners of the HTC One M7, most of whom should have received Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA updates by now, will find the latest Android update news a little depressing.
Many Samsung Galaxy Note 4 handsets have received Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop update by now, especially those outside the U.S. But Samsung users in Europe, early to get the first Android L update, are already getting a new Lollipop update OTA that fixes some confusing feature conflation.
The release date for Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA update has finally come for Sony Xperia Z3, Sony Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, and the Xperia Z3 Compact, as Sony officially announced that the upgrade is rolling out to markets worldwide.
While the Samsung Galaxy S5 on Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, and internationally have seen their release date come for OTA Android Lollipop 5.0 updates that are rolling out and available for download now, AT&T customers have had to wait. Bad news: now they, and possibly Galaxy S4 owners across carriers, will have to wait even longer.
Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop update has finally released and is officially rolling out for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, at least for Sprint customers in the U.S. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note Edge Lollipop updates appear to be in the works.

Congratulations, flagship Android smartphone owners in the U.S. who have been patiently waiting for Android 5.0 Lollipop to begin rolling out, we're now in the month of February.

The painful wait for Samsung owners in the U.S. to begin receiving OTA update notifications come the release date of Android 5.0 Lollipop may be over sooner than you think.
Taiwanese device manufacturer HTC has been very transparent about its Android Lollipop update schedule so far. But if a new report sourced to a well-known developer and HTC leaker is true, Android L's release date for HTC One M8 owners might be a week or two ahead of schedule.
The Android L race continues, but it looks like Samsung is well on its way towards a January 2015 release date for the Android 5.0 Lollipop update in the U.S. -- with the Galaxy S5, Note 4, Note Edge, Note 4, and S4 at the top of the OTA roll out list -- if a recent purported leak on Reddit turns out to be genuine.
