Finally Google Nexus 5 starts getting Lollipop update

If you use a Google Nexus 5, you should check the 'About Phone' section in your device's settings. Chances are that you may have the Android Lollipop update waiting to be installed.

Google has announced that Android Lollipop has started rolling out to Nexus 5 users.

"#AndroidLollipop rollout has started and will soon be available on most #Nexus devices. Dessert is served," tweeted the Android account maintained by Google on Twitter.

However, as it is common with Google's Android updates, the Lollipop will be rolled out to Nexus 5 users in phases. This means depending on your model number and region you may have to wait a day or two to get the update.

Usually, users in the US are among the first ones to get it. Once Google sees that the update hasn't broken anything on the phone, it is rolled out to people in other countries.

Android Lollipop is a significant update to Android. It adds several important performance-related features, overhauls the user interface and adds Material Design to make the world's most used mobile operating system look slicker and modern.

However, unless you are using a Nexus device, a Moto phone or a Play store edition device, you will not get the default user interface of the Lollipop on your device. Instead, most users will get the Android Lollipop customised by phone companies with their unique users interface like Touchwiz and Sense.
