If you’ve got an unlocked or Developer Edition HTC One M8, then top up your battery, ensure you’re connected to Wi-Fi, and sit back and wait for an impending over-the-air update to Lollipop. Google has finally given HTC’s latest software the green light, and it’s making its way to the devices above today.

Who says iOS has all the apps? According to new data, Google isn’t just kicking butt when it comes to market share, but also mobile apps as well. The search giant’s Play Store now offers a great selection of titles than the App Store, but Apple fans will argue that quality is more important than quantity.

If you have a second-generation Moto G, prepare yourself for Google’s latest Android software. Motorola is currently in the process of rolling out Android 5.0.2 Lollipop to select devices, and it’s going to fix a whole bunch of problems that have been plaguing new Moto G handsets since Lollipop’s initial release.

Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface for Android is universally mocked for being bloated and slow, but it would appear the South Korean company is finally set to do something about it. Sources say it won’t just be overhauling its hardware for the upcoming Galaxy S6, but also its software as well as it aims to deliver an experience as smooth as pure Android.

Motorola was among the first OEMs to roll out the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the 2nd generation Moto X, at least in the United States. However, since then, the company has taken its own sweet time in rolling out the update to other regions of the world and to its other devices.
