Motorola has begun its Android 5.0 Lollipop rollout for the original Moto E and the Moto Maxx, following its upgrades for the first- and second-generation Moto Gs. The company is soak testing the software for now, but it’s going to be with you very soon.

Motorola’s new Moto E is here, and it ships with Android 5.0 Lollipop pre-installed for under $100. Adopters also get fairly decent specifications for such an affordable price tag, including a Snapdragon 200 processor and 1GB of RAM.

Motorola’s latest handsets continue to be an incredible success worldwide, helping the company sell more than 10 million handsets during the third quarter of 2014.

It’s a record for the Moto maker, which saw its revenue reach new highs during Q3. Lenovo, which acquired Motorola from Google last year, said it was able to beat investor expectations for smartphone sales, which were already more than doubled for this quarter.

Samsung may have dropped the Snapdragon 810 from its Galaxy S6 lineup, but plenty of other hardware makers are perfectly happy with it.

To remind fans and partners of that, Qualcomm today issued a press release confirming the chip’s adoption by more than 60 “premium tier mobile devices,” and containing heaps of praise from LG, Motorola, Microsoft, and others.

Google has admitted for the first time that supply chain issues with the Nexus 6 meant it simply could not meet such strong demand for the device when it made its debut back in November.

CFO Patrick Pichette said that the handset had been “very well received,” but it’s not that Google’s forecast wasn’t ready for that.
