Moto G 2015 users in Canada and the United States have started receiving Android 6.0 Marshmallow update on their devices. It is said that Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update will come to Motorola's Moto G 2015 in early 2016.
Residents in the US and Canada owning a Moto G 2015 can now upgrade to the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. Motorola's 3rd generation of the Moto G series is finally eligible to receive the new features and fixes that Android Marshmallow has to offer.
The USB Port stated that the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for the Moto G 2015 is available exclusively for North America and Canada unlocked variants (XT1540). The 3rd-gen Moto G was first launched running Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow brings new features like app permissions, Google Now on Tap, Android Pay, and native fingerprint scanner support to the device. It also brings a few changes in Motorola's platform such as replacing the Migrate and Assist pre-installed applications with a Do Not Disturb feature. Google's new software update also contains some bug fixes and security patches to improve device performance.
According to Neurogadget, the Moto G 2015 is included in the lineup of devices set to receive the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update in Q1 2016. Other devices expected to get the update include the Moto X Pure, Moto E, Moto X Style, Droid Turbo 2, and BlackBerry Priv.
It was reported that Android 6.0 Marshmallow update has not yet arrived at the Moto G 2014 and Moto G 4G LTE (2014). It is also uncertain if the software update will roll out to the Moto E 2014.
However, Android Origin said that Motorola is currently testing the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update on the 2nd-gen Moto G (2014) with select users. The update could roll out to the device on February if the test succeeds.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow is now available for Moto X Style users in America. The Moto X Play and Droid Maxx 2 are also slated to get the update.
