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.

A notable omission from Google’s list of services that will support Google Cast was Spotify, the biggest music streaming service on the planet. We assumed Spotify support would be added eventually, but the company has now confirmed it will be snubbing Google’s new platform to concentrate on Spotify Connect instead.

A recent report confirmed LG’s plans to launch new wearables powered by the webOS platform in early 2016, but it turns out the South Korean company has already unveiled one.

At CES 2015 in Las Vegas last week, LG showcased a new smartwatch that it has developed with the help of Audi, and it’s the first to shun Android Wear in favor of LG’s own software.

Motorola is making a comeback in China, and it has a trick up its sleeve that it is hoping will bring success in a market that’s obsessed with super-sized smartphones — a 6-inch Moto X with Quad HD display. The device is essentially a rebranded Nexus 6, and it’s joined by Motorola’s original 2014 Moto X and Moto G.
