G+_Shaun Snee Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Basically do you see the OTA KitKat upgrade to Lollipop being a pain? I am looking to upgrade from my ancient Motorola Atrix 4g (Gingerbread) to a new Android phone, most likely a Samsung Galaxy 5S or Alpha. Should I wait until I can buy the phone I want with Lollipop already on it? Or get a phone that has KitKat and then just upgrade to Lollipop OTA?

G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Generally, OTAs are relatively painless. The real question is if/when you're going to get it. I think the current rumors are that the S5 will get it in about 3 months. Personally, my current choices I tell people about are the Nexus 5 (or 6, if you don't mind a behemoth) or the MotoX (2014). They both already have Lollipop on the bench. The N5 has the Dev Preview now and waiting on the official OTA (maybe even between today and Wednesday). And, the MotoX has the official OTA via the soak test which should be rolled out everywhere shortly. Basically, if you want the phone now, get the phone now and worry about OTAs later. But, if you want speedy updates, get the Nexus or X (even the LG G3). Also, it's the Galaxy S5 (5S is the iPhone). ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Rife Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 My upgrade from Ice Cream Sandwich to Jelly Bean on my Motorola Xoom tablet was really smooth. No reinstalling or anything. I would hope that the upgrade from KitKat to Lollipop would be the same. Thanks for all the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
