Some phone manufacturers still strives to provide Lollipop updates for their previous release, but not all are able to fulfill their promise. Moreover, these companies only target either their flagships or their phones that are widely used when rolling out the upgrade. In comparison, Android Lollipop has more functionality than its predecessor, it is more secure, more user friendly, and also offers more customization.
