It's about time, Nexus 9 finally gets the respect it deserves as a proud part of the Google family. An official Google Twitter post has confirmed, sending wide grins to all Nexus 9 fans worldwide, Android 5.1.1 will be rolling out for the Android smartphone starting as we speak as reported on Android Police.
At things turn out however, Google is still to make good on that tweet-announcement. As time rolls by, same report has not given any confirmation of a real-time Android 5.1.1 roll-out to any Nexus 9 device.
Perhaps, the Android 5.1.1 update's slowly morphing into a dud. Hopefully not, or the waiting game could be one game Nexus 9'ers could get tired of, eventually.
The same cannot be said about Motorola's 2nd Gen Moto X. Just at about the same time as the Nexus 9 news, Motorola has officially rolled out the Android 5.1 update for its 2nd Gen Moto X.
Though the roll-out is still in its infancy stage and is doing what could be a trial run in Brazil, it's expected that it won't take long before every Moto X variant will get their part. Pretty soon!
Perhaps not wanting to jump the gun, Motorola chose not to give any specific detail as to when this particular update - dubbed as version 23.11.14 - is going to arrive to carrier versions of the smartphones. A closer look at the changelogs could be telling and accordingly it is the unlocked Pure Edition that should get the upgrade first.
It's quite saddening to note that no confirmation of any Android 5.1.1 has been reported for the Nexus 9. That should make it quite intriguing, in spite of the fact that recently, an Android product manager from Google has pointed out some last minute bugs for clean up.
Still in this Android Universe created by Google, eventually all products including the 2nd Gen Moto X variants and Nexus 9 should get its due.
