Updated topic to show Samsung devices....

You copied only the list of older devices from the source.  The Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5, and Galaxy Alpha are also getting it (likely first from Samsung) but are not on your list.

hm brave to give this to a sgs3. i have tried countless custom roms and the only one running well is stock 4.1.2, if i go higher i get laggs.

Doesn't make sense that the note 2 and note 2 LTE would get it but none of the note 3 variants. I am guessing this was just an oversight.

 

The sources were talking about Note 2 and a few other selected devices plan to get 5.0 while back but Google got the 5.0 project timeline delayed. 

 

Now, Note 2 and old devices (as mentioned in OP) are getting 5.0 for sure.

Cant change the OP anymore to remove the Samsung listing.  Sucks, you create a topic and you should be able to edit the OP.

 

Anyway, GPE editions are getting them.  I didnt see specific listings for what GPE devices, but considering GPE devices are not that old, and vanilla Android, I wouldnt doubt all of them will get it. 

Oh, but Sony is so bad right? My 3 year old ZL gets the update. Keep buying low end bs and you'll get the low end treatment.

 

The "author" who keeps bashing Sony (on Android) should be kicked at once as he has no clue. Samesung client probably. :)

No LG G3?

 

LG apparently hasn't revealed which devices will get L.  I would find it very surprising if the G3 didn't get L...considering it was just released and is LG's flagship.

 

I'm just hoping the G2 (what I have) gets it...though wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.

No LG G3?

Per the LG Facebook (German) site:  "Hi, we would like to inform you herewith that there is a 5.0 upgrade for the LG Lollipop G3 will be released in the fourth quarter of 2014. Android. The upgrade package for the LG G2 will follow. LG Sascha"

Motorola planning Android Lollipop upgrade for 1st Gen Moto G soon

 

Motorola?s nearly gotten all their Moto X and Moto G 2014 folks hooked up with Android 5.0 Lollipop, and now the manufacturer is looking ahead to devices from last year. A recent update to Motorola?s Update Services app in Google Play lists preparations for Android Lollipop as one of the big changes in its latest update.

But then the Samsung Tab 2 and Tab 3 are MIA on Lolli - not good at all.  (Mom has a Tab 2.)  I don't want to get spendy on a tablet; however, if I am going to get a tablet that is NOT an iDevice, it must be getting Lollipop (if Android).  Also missing is the current/new ASUS MeMO Pad (which is actually a decently-spec'd lower-end tablet).

Especially if you are a subscriber.

Won't matter to much for me anyway.  ;)

 

OP should be updated to include Droid Turbo and probably Moto Maxx (South American version of the Turbo).

 

Cannot update the OP anymore.  At least not after a specific time period.  Some idiots who were abusing the privilege messed it up for everyone.

    • Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.

    • Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
