Motorola begins Android 5.1 soak test for Moto X (2014) in Brazil, brings new Chop Twice gesture
The Moto X (1st Gen) began receiving its Android 5.1 update in Brazil a couple of weeks ago, and everyone asked when the second generation Moto X (2014) would get its turn. Well, it seems that today is the lucky day if you live in Brazil, thanks to Motorola rolling out the update in a soak test.
As for the rest of the world, there’s no need to worry as Motorola has said that:
“We have been working on putting the software through carrier and regional testing in other countries and for other devices, so please stay tuned for more.”
Besides the usual collection of bugfixes and stability tweaks, the Android 5.1 update will also include improved control over notifications and device protection. A new Moto Gesture has been added called Chop Twice that turns on the handset’s flashlight when you make a natural chopping motion with your hand. Chop twice to turn it on, and twice more to deactivate, just like the .gif image above demonstrates.
Here’s hoping that the soak test goes to plan and that the Android 5.1 update will be rolled out to Moto X (2014) handsets everywhere soon.
