Samsung’s reputation isn’t great when it comes to pushing out timely Android updates, but the company’s turning that around with the Galaxy S5. This week it’s pushing out llipop to to the GS5 on Verizon, Sprint, a few other international editions.

It’s surprising to see them beat HTC to the punch on one of the flagship devices, as it’s usually HTC that brings its customers more rapid Android releases. ether it’s technical issues with llipop or the Sense UI we don’t know, but for once Samsung owners are getting their hs on the Android cy first.

HTC One (M7): llipop may be delayed on the current-generation M8, but at least it’s coming to the tried–true M7. ok for Android 5.0 to hit your device any day.

AT&T

Galaxy S5: More bloatware, you asked? OK, you probably didn’t, but that’s what you’re getting anyway with this over-the-air update from AT&T. It does bring voice-over E, but you’ll also see some more AT&T bred apps Uber. Unfortunately, you’ll only get to Android 4.4.4, so hopefully AT&T will step it up catch up to Verizon Sprint.

Rogers, Telus

HTC One (M8): Our friends north of the border are scoring llipop, which is certainly a tease for those in the U.S. who still have to wait. It’s illustrates how carrier testing configuration can make a big difference at times when it comes to how fast Android updates reach your device.

Unlocked devices

HTC One (M7): The unlocked developer editions of the One M7 should see llipop start hitting their phones, according to HTC’s Mo Versi. He’s a good follow on Twitter if you want the latest on what’s going on with HTC Android updates.
