It seems Google is close to releasing Android 5.0 Lollipop update for at
least the
Nexus 7 (2012) Wi-Fi as factory images for
the tablet have been leaked.
Notably, Motorola has reportedly already
beaten Google with the Android 5.0 Lollipop update rollout for the Moto G
(Gen 2) ahead of Google's own Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (2012 and
2013), and Nexus 10 devices. The Lenovo-owned company might also release
the latest Android update for the second generation Moto X soon, as a
soak test for
the smartphone has already occurred.

The leaked factory images
for Nexus 7 (2012) Wi-Fi only were first reported by Android Police, and
it claims citing a source that "these images are most likely final."
However, we will have to still wait to hear from Google for the official
release. Further, the report adds that factory images are available on a
Google server giving more credence to the fact that these might be the
final ones. Android Police has also provided download link for the Nexus
7 (2012) Wi-Fi factory image from a Google server.
Interestingly,
the build of the factory images for the Nexus 7 (2012) Wi-Fi only
tablet is LRX21P, similar in naming scheme to the officially rolled out
builds LRX21L and LRX21M for the Nexus 9 tablet and Nexus Player
respectively. Last month, Google had released updated Android 5.0
Developer Preview images for the Nexus 5 'hammerhead' and Nexus 7
'razor' feature build number 'LPX13D', and were available to download
from the company's Android Developer page.
Last week, multiple
Nexus 5 owners running the Developer Preview version of Android 5.0
Lollipop had reported a battery draining bug while on Wi-Fi, and this
was thought to be the reason for the delayed rollout of the Lollipop
factory images and OTA updates for older Nexus devices.
LG, not
too far behind, on Sunday announced that it would start rolling out the
Android 5.0 Lollipop to its flagship G3 smartphone in Poland this week,
with other regions set to follow in the near future.
