Google’s latest Android release is rolling out to Nexus devices today. The Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (both models), and Nexus 10 will all start to receive Lollipop over-the-air (OTA) shortly. If you don’t want to wait for the OTA then you can simply download factory images from Google’s Nexus site. Google’s roll out comes just hours after Motorola revealed it’s in the progress of rolling out Android 5.0 Lollipop for two devices: the Moto X Pure Edition and second-gen Moto G.

Android 5.0 Lollipop adds a significant amount of features and changes, but the biggest is a new look and feel that Google calls Material Design. The new design adds fresh animations and a flatter look to Android, alongside easily the most important update to the world's most-used mobile OS in several years. For a full look at the latest version of Android, check out our Android 5.0 Lollipop review.
