Motorola has decided to skip Android 5.0 Lollipop and went straight for the 5.1 update for its devices from the Moto X series.
Based on a recent post on the company's website, users of the second generation T-Mobile Moto X, second generation AT&T Moto X and the U.S. version of the first generation Moto X can expect to receive the OS upgrade soon, according to 9to5Google.

The update for the AT&T Moto X is the software version 23.11.21 while for the T-Mobile variant, it will be version 23.11.14.
