According to a tweet sent out by Motorola’s official Twitter page, the Motorola Droid Turbo smartphone will directly be updated to Android 5.1.

The handset was launched in September last year with Android 4.4.4 on board, and is yet to receive the Android 5.0 update. Motorola makes it clear that the smartphone will skip Android 5.0 altogether and make the jump to 5.1.

The company however hasn’t given out a release timeframe for the update, so we don’t know when the carrier will start the rollout of the update. But it’s good to know that an update is on the horizon for Droid Turbo customers.

A switch from Android 4.4 to Android 5.1 would mean that users will be treated to Device Protection, better notifications handling and the plethora of Material Design features in one update rather than waiting for two separate Android updates. Verizon is yet to speak on the matter, but we expect a word from the carrier soon.
