Reports are circulating that the Android Lollipop update has been delayed for the Google Nexus products, including the Nexus 5, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10 devices.

The rollout was supposed to start on Monday but many users haven’t received the update.

The reports on the alleged delay all cite Artem Russakovskii, the founder of the Android Police blog.

He made a post on Google+ alleging that the over-the-air (OTA) update for the Lollipop has been postponed until November 12.

He said that the reason is the discovery of a number of bugs.

However, Russakovskii seems to have later deleted the Google+ post in question, raising some concerns about the reliability of his information. He also doesn’t seem to have given any update after deleting the post.

And Android Police also doesn’t have any articles about the release date being delayed.

Google has not given an official update after announcing on Monday that it started the rollout to Nexus devices.

The Nexus Twitter account is telling users that the devices “will be receiving the Android 5.0 Lollipop update via over-the-air in the coming weeks.”

To check if your device is eligible for an upgrade, go to Settings, then About Phone.
