Moto X 1st and 2nd Gen Android 5.1 update begins soak test

The Moto X (1st Gen) and Moto X (2nd Gen) Android 5.1 Lollipop update has begun soak testing in select markets, according to Motorola Senior Director David Schuster.

The update has been long-awaited since Motorola promised faster upgrades with its Moto brand, and it looks like it could finally be here. If all goes well with testing this week, Motorola say Android 5.1 will begin rolling out for both versions of the Moto X next week.

Here’s what Schuster says:

“We started soak test today for Moto X (2nd Gen) for the following retail channels:
Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Singapore and Sweden

We started soak test today for Moto X (1st Gen) for the following retail channels:
Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Kuwait, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and United Arab Emirates.

If all goes well we would expect full deployments to start next week.

We’re only a little ways away from getting Android 5.1 on the Moto X. But, then it’ll be time to start the wait for Android M this fall. Are you looking forward to the update on your Moto X? Sound off in the comments.
