Lollipop is the biggest Android upgrade we’ve seen in years. Not only does it add new features, but it also makes some significant changes to existing ones, and introduces a very attractive Material Design makeover. It’s is so significant, in fact, that it may take a bit of getting used to.

Google’s hoping to make that process easy with a free Quick Start Guide that’s available to download now from the Play Store.

Looking to breathe new life into your Sony Xperia L? What better way to do so than with an unofficial Android 5.0 Lollipop port? The ROM is based on genuine Sony code, and it delivers all of the features, improvements, and Material Design goodness you’d expect from a Lollipop upgrade.

The Nexus 6 has been available to order through Google Play for over two weeks now, but getting hold of one has been incredibly difficult. Google appears to have very little inventory, and when new stock comes in, it sells out within minutes. It should come as no surprise, then, that retail supplies are going to be seriously constrained, too.

Samsung’s already confirmed that the Galaxy S4 will get an Android 5.0 Lollipop update, and thanks to a leaked pre-release build, we get to see exactly what it’s going to be like ahead of its public debut. As you might expect, it’s heavily modified thanks to TouchWiz, but Samsung’s made a lot of nice visual changes that let that Material Design shine through in places.

Football fans shopping for a new smartphone need look no further than Verizon’s new Moto X, which is designed to look and feel like a leather football… one that carries a Verizon logo. The handset is available to order now, priced at $119.99 — the same price as the white and bamboo model.
