Motorola announces which devices will be getting the Android Marshmallow update

(Before It's News)

Motorola has had a pretty stellar reputation when it comes to rolling out software updates to its devices quickly, and we’re hoping that won’t be changing for this round of Android Marshmallow updates. Earlier today, Motorola detailed in a blog post exactly which devices are going to be updated to the latest version of Android, which included the following:

• 2015 Moto X Pure Edition (3rd gen)
• 2015 Moto X Style (3rd gen)
• 2015 Moto X Play
• 2015 Moto G (3rd gen)
• 2014 Moto X Pure Edition in the US (2nd gen)
• 2014 Moto X in Latin America, Europe and Asia² (2nd gen)
• 2014 Moto G and Moto G with 4G LTE² (2nd gen)
• DROID Turbo
• 2014 Moto MAXX
• 2014 Moto Turbo
• Nexus 6

Motorola does note that things could change and more or less devices could be updated, but you probably shouldn’t hold your breath as some carriers don’t even bother announcing which devices are being updated, let alone give us an incomplete list. We will note that there are some devices we’re surprised are missing, namely all Moto E devices, and carrier versions of the 2014 Moto X – the 2013 Moto X and 2013 Moto G are also missing, but we’re guessing they’ve fallen out of the 2 year window for support.

Motorola also noted in its blog post that it would be retiring a few apps, including Motorola Assist, Motorola Migrate, as well as the Chrome extension for Motorola Connect. If nothing else, Motorola touches on a poignant reason to get rid of these apps:

“Both of these products were valuable in their time but the world has moved on and they no longer add enough value to justify taking up space in your device.”

We’ll pay that. What do you think about Motorola’s Android Marshmallow update list? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
