Android 5.1 update hits second-gen Verizon Moto X
Soon after HTC announced the arrival of Android 5.1 Lollipop for its carrier-specific handsets in the US, Motorola does the same. Verizon Wireless has just unveiled a new firmware update that promises to fix a lot of issues, in addition to the multiple interface changes brought by version 5.1 of Google's mobile OS.
This Android 5.1 Lollipop-based update brings the firmware version up to 23.16.3, and its list of changes includes the following highlights:
- volume settings icons replaced
- pull-down controls for WiFi and Bluetooth
- integrated Interruption controls
- improved factory reset protection
- multiple tweaks and fixes
Unfortunately, HD Voice and Voice Over LTE did not make it to the list yet, but there is little doubt that this will happen. When, that remains to be seen. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 801-powered Moto X 2014 launched back in September 2014 carrying Android 4.4.4 KitKat on board.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
