Moto G 2014 Official Lollipop OTA Update [ version :5.0.2, model : XT1068 ]
Source : Gizmodo |
As Motorola has promised that all the Moto variants ( Moto E, Moto G, Moto X) from 2013 as well as 2014 versions will be updated to Lollipop. Just recently Moto X, 2014 got the Lollipop so it is just a matter of time before Moto G gets one.
Though if you're like me and can't wait for the latest iteration of OS from Google, folks over at XDA have captured the 5.0.2 version used for the soak test on Indian version of 2nd Gen Moto G or more specifically for the XT1068 model.
If you want to get your hands on it the procedure is simple and painless,takes approx 30 minutes.
