After upgrading its flagship Galaxy S5 to Lollipop, Samsung is hard at work on bringing Google’s latest software update to the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge. Android 5.0.1 builds for both devices have already leaked out into the wild, suggesting a public rollout could be right around the corner.

Android 5.0.1 has been available for over a week for a number Nexus devices — but only if you were willing to download the factory images and flash them manually. Now Google’s rolling out its latest Lollipop update — which brings improved stability and performance — over the air.

While Google Play Edition devices are supposed to get the latest Android software first, the original Moto G GPE has been forced to sit back and watch as the standard versions of Motorola’s best-selling smartphone received their Lollipop upgrades. But now its wait is finally over.
