First it was the Motorola Moto G (2014), and this time it was the turn of the Motorola Moto G (2013). A series of photos leaked online have put us on the trail of what appears to be a first-generation Motorola Moto G running under Android 5.1 Lollipop, the most recent of all versions of the Android operating system. This version is only available in Asian countries, although everything indicates that its distribution in Europe will not take long.
These filtered images come from the social network Google+ (specifically, a profile of a user who goes by the name Damian Junior ), and they are accompanied by an introduction in which it is ensured that what we are seeing is a Motorola Moto G (2013) XT1033 model (ie Dual-SIM version) running under Android 5.1 (or Android 5.1.0) version of the Android operating system. This description ensures that the Android 5.1 Lollipop update comes completely free of problems or errors, although it does not mention any news in terms of the interface (rumors speak of improvements in the notification center and improvements in the Clock application).
It is difficult to determine if these images are real, especially considering that the author claims that he cannot distribute the image of the Android 5.1 Lollipop update for the Motorola Moto G (2013) because he " does not want to have complications " (he claims that the update is identified, and if it was distributed it would be very easy to know that he was responsible). Assuming that the photographs are real, this leak would mean that Motorola would have the Android 5.1 updates of the Moto G (2013) and Moto G (2014) ready at this time, so its distribution could be practically around the corner..
But, what specific news will the Android 5.1 Lollipop update bring ? We are talking about an update that, in the absence of the American company Google to pronounce on the matter, seems to be focused on correcting some of the many problems that appeared with the first version of Lollipop. The news that is known about this update belongs to users who already have this version on their mobiles (users from Asian countries with Android One platform mobiles), and it is these same users who have allowed us to know that Android 5.1 Lollipop will allow -for example-modify the WiFi and Bluetooth settings from the notification bar.
In any case, from the outset it is rumored that the Android 5.1 update will begin to reach users from the month of March. The first to receive this version will be the owners of the devices in the Nexus range, and then it will be each manufacturer who will adapt the distribution times of this version to their needs.
