With Google having officially announced Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which smartphones and tablets will be receiving the update? Naturally Google’s two Nexus smartphones will be the first to receive it when they get released, but what about devices from other companies? Motorola doesn’t want to leave us guessing, which is why the company has posted a list of all the devices that will be receiving the new Android update in the coming months, which naturally includes the 2015 Moto G and all the variants of the 2015 Moto X.
We believe your phone should look and behave like you want it to. That means our approach to software is ‘less is more’, so you can focus on the choices that are right for you. In fact, we’ve made it a priority to avoid bloatware and skins, and focus on identifying and tackling areas where we can enable more meaningful exchanges between you and your phone, such as simple voice controls and notifications that you can interact with even when your phone is asleep. This philosophy has enabled us to make what we think are the most personal and responsive phones in the world, built on a foundation of pure Android with a few Moto Enhancements to improve (not impede) overall functionality. The release of a new Android version is a great time to take a fresh look at our signature Moto Enhancements to ensure we’re complementing Android (not competing with it). Android 6.0 Marshmallow includes some great new features similar to things we’ve developed in the past. For example, you’ll find an option for ‘Do not disturb’ under the ‘Sound and notification’ settings to make sure you’re not interrupted during meetings or while sleeping. That’s similar to Moto Assist, so we’re removing Moto Assist as part of the upgrade to M.
