Sony knows you’re itching to get your Android 5.0 Lollipop upgrade, so it’s making matter worse by publishing a new video that demonstrates Google’s latest software running on its flagship Xperia Z3. This won’t be the software you get from Sony, however, because it’s pure Lollipop without any third-party tweaks.

If the Nexus 6 is too big for you but you want a pure Android experience with timely updates, then last year’s Nexus 5 could well be your best option. It’s been mostly out of stock on Google Play since Google unveiled its newest Nexus devices, but now it’s back in both 16GB and 32GB options.

Can’t wait to get your hands on Android 5.0 Lollipop? You’re not the only one. But if you’re a Nexus 4 owner, you don’t have to wait. An unofficial Lollipop ROM is already available for the device, and almost everything works as it should.

Some have suggested that Google has ruined the Nexus smartphone by equipping its latest model with a giant 5.9-inch display, and based on these size comparison images, it’s not difficult to understand that argument.

It will likely be a while yet before the vast majority gets its hands on Android 5.0 Lollipop — especially those without Nexus devices. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a taste of it right now. Lollipop’s Messenger, Play Music, Google Fit, and other apps are already available to download and install on your existing device with Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
