Google officially named Android 5.0 Lollipop earlier this week, confirming it would be arriving first on the newly-announced Nexus 6 smartphone and Nexus 9 tablet. But what about everyone else? Waiting for a new Android release is no fun if your phone manufacturer won't develop an update, so we've done some digging to find out what the big names have in the pipeline for their customers when it comes to Lollipop.
• Google
It should come as no surprise that Google's Nexus smartphones and tablets are going to be the first to get Android 5.0 Lollipop. The Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 will all get the update in the coming weeks, with Android Police suggesting Wi-Fi models should get it on the 3rd of November. Models with 3G or 4G, including the Nexus 5, may take a week or so longer.
The older Nexus 4will get the update eventually, but it may take a little longer still, and any Google Play Edition handsets from other manufacturers will follow shortly after.
• HTC Mobile
The HTC One (m8) and last year's One (m7) should get an update to Lollipop within 90 days of receiving the source code from Google, following a pledge from the company to speed up the delivery of future updates. That code was released on the 17th of October, meaning the 15th of January should be the latest point HTC customers have to wait for Lollipop. Of course, that's dependent on mobile phone networks not holding up the release with complicated certification processes.
The smaller HTC One Mini and One Mini 2 are also set to get a lick of Lollipop, but only after the flagship models.

• Samsung Mobile
As the most popular Android smartphone manufacturer in the world, the sensible money would be on Samsung getting Lollipop updates out to customers swiftly, but to date there's been no official statement on the company's plans. The only confirmed phone so far is the Google Play Edition version of last year's Galaxy S4, which will get the update in the next few weeks.
In spite of Samsung's silence, it's looking highly likely that the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 4 will get an update in November: Samsung mobile has reportedly seen an internal roadmap that has both handsets pegged for early upgrades.
• Sony Mobile
Sony has one of the largest Android smartphone ranges around, but it has pledged to update the vast majority of them to Lollipop – as long as the model number starts with a Z. The upgrade will come first to the current flagship Xperia Z3, before appearing on the Xperia Z2 then filtering down the Z1 range as far back as the original Xperia Z. The updates should begin appearing on users' phones in early 2015.
The Xperia Tablet line-up is going to get the same treatment, meaning anyone with an Xperia Z3 Tablet Compactor Z2 tablet is eligible for an upgrade.
• Motorola
Motorola used to be a Google company, so it's unsurprising it will be the first third-party manufacturer to update its customers phones with Lollipop. Although there's no exact date for release, there's a big long list of phones that are guaranteed to get upgrades: the original and 2nd generation Moto X (2014), the original and second generation Moto G (2014), and the Moto E, as well as the older DROID Ultra, DROID Maxx and DROID Mini all make the cut.
• LG Mobile
We've had no official word from LG about its plans for Lollipop updates, meaning G3 owners are in the dark as to whether their handset will get an upgrade or not. LG does have a Google Play Edition tablet, the G Pad 8.3, which will get an update alongside Google's own Nexus range, but so far no other devices have been confirmed.
• Other Manufacturers
Huawei, Asus, Tecno, OnePlus, Acer, ZTE, Archos, Kazam… the list of Android smartphone manufacturers goes on, but unfortunately none of them have confirmed their plans for Android 5.0 Lollipop.
We'll be sure to update this article if any of the companies listed here announce update plans, so be sure to check back in a few weeks if you want to find out when your phone will get an update.
