Google’s Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets will be getting the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop OS on November 3, latest reports have suggested.
Both Nexus 7 variants, namely the 2012 and 2013 Wi-Fi editions, will be getting the update at the same time.
Unfortunately it seems the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 won’t be so lucky, with both Google-stamped smartphones set to get the updated OS at a later date. The Nexus 7 LTE model is also tipped for a postponed upgrade.
The leak comes courtesy of Android Police, with the blog citing ‘a reliable source’ for the new info.

The November 3 update gels with the on-sale date for Google’s newly announced Nexus 9, the search engine giant’s latest flagship slate.
Google also recently announced the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9, although we don’t have a specific November date for the smartphone just yet.
Android Lollipop brings with it a raft of modifications, most notably a visual upgrade following Google’s flat and fluid ‘material design’ aesthetic.
It’s also set to support 64-bit chip architecture, increase battery life significantly, and improve cross-device communication.
