Motorola begins Android 5.1.1 deployment of Moto X (1st Gen)

Motorola began soak testing the Moto X (1st Gen) Android 5.1.1 in multiple markets last week. On Friday, it began full deployment for unlocked models of the 1st gen in the US, Brazil, and on Canadian carrier Rogers.

David Schuster, a Senior Director at Motorola, took to Google Plus on Friday to announce the deployment:

“I am pleased to announce that we have started full deployment of the 5.1 Android Lollipop upgrade for Moto X (1st Gen) for US Retail, Brazil Retail and Rogers in Canada.“

Moto X (1st Gen) users have been waiting for the update for some time now, raising concerns that Motorola wasn’t living up to its promise of quick updates. And that still might be a concern, considering that the update hasn’t made its way to users who bought the device on-contract.

Hopefully now that full deployment has begun it shouldn’t be too long before it begins hitting carriers. In the meantime, if you own an unlocked Moto X (1st Gen) you should be able to manually check for the update in Settings > About Phone.
