Most modern Android phones should be able to support most or all of the new features, depending on the hardware that is running under the hood. Google sent us a list of devices that support 100 percent of 5.0's features, which you can find after the break. The update is due out in the "coming days," according to Rubin. The name of devices are:
- Galaxy S
- Droid
- Droid X
- Droid 2
- Droid Incredible
- Evo
- Nexus S
- G2
