With the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop, Google has released the most significant update to Android since the company shipped Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in 2011. Lollipop introduces an updated UI called Material Design, which adopts the look of Google Now and features a layered flat interface that Google describes as a take on stacks of paper. It creates a sense of depth and an overall cleaner look to Android.

Android 5.0 Lollipop is currently shipping on Google's latest flagship Nexus devices; the HTC built Nexus 9 tablet and Motorola Nexus 6 phablet. Smartphone manufacturers have started to announce which of their devices will receive an update to Android 5.0 Lollipop and most recently we reported that Motorola created a website to inform customers which smartphones are slated to receive a Lollipop update.

The website also claims that its sources say that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will get an update to Lollipop. The Galaxy S5 is expected to get Android 5.0 Lollipop in December and the Galaxy S4 will reportedly receive the update in early 2015.
