For customers anxious to get their hands on the latest from Google and its hardware partners the next few weeks should prove quite fun. But, those who recently purchased a handset will also be interested in Android 5.0's tasty new features. This will be even more so if you picked up a flagship model.
We have compiled a handy chart which outlines the top smartphones of 2013-2014 and listed their respective expectations. For the sake of keeping things simple, we'll refer to some of these models in a broad sense and not break down individual carrier versions. Just know that even the manufacturers which have promised Lollipop have not provided exact release dates.

Note that there are plenty of other models and variants which should see Android 5.0 in due time. Sony, HTC, and Motorola were all quick to spell out a wider range of products which will pick up Lollipop.
In terms of other phones or tablets, the general rule tends to be newer and more popular devices get the update first, followed by carrier-exclusive products. International and unlocked smartphones can sometimes receive new versions weeks ahead of those offered by wireless providers.
CNET contacted LG and Samsung for comment, however neither had anything to share at this time. We will update the post as new devices are confirmed or begin to receive their Lollipop updates. In the meanwhile, I suggest following your favorite hardware maker or carrier on social media. It's often there that companies will first confirm updates.
