Google confirmed the release date of Android 5.0 Lollipop today in a note to developers. Users with Nexus devices<\/strong> can expect to receive the update starting November 3rd<\/strong>. If you don’t have a Nexus device, check our post about when to expect Lollipop<\/a> on your device.<\/p>\n

We long expected an early November release date as it coincides with Google’s release of its new Nexus 9 tablet, which comes pre-installed with Lollipop.<\/p>\n

App developers already have access to the Android Lollipop software development kit so there should be a slew of updated apps for the new operating system coming soon.<\/p>\n

Android Lollipop brings a new look<\/strong> to Android with new animations and flat, colorful design. There’s also new, smarter notifications<\/strong> that you can reply to from the lock screen. Notifications will also be organized by how often you use the app instead of chronological order.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong>: Droid Life<\/em> is reporting that the note to developers is nothing new<\/a> and does not confirm Lollipop’s release date. Looking at the blog post again, Google does not explicitly state when Nexus devices will get the update, only that the Nexus 9 will be the first device with Android 5.0 Lollipop.<\/p>\n

Bummer. While it’s still possible for Google to release the update on November 3rd, we’re not holding our breath. Google promised to bring the update to Nexus devices “in a few weeks” so we should be seeing it in early to mid-November.<\/p>\n
