Motorola Moto G (2nd Gen) gets Android Marshmallow update

The industry follower added that the 2nd-gen Moto G making it to the Android 6.0 update list means that Motorola is pushing through with the update as fast as possible. These OEMs in turn play around with the OS in order to customize it as they wish before finally sending it out to devices directly or through carriers. Since the update is quite large in terms of the size, Verizon will not let you download the update over the cellular network. Being an entirely new version of the operating system, Android Marshmallow 6.0 brings in new features for users to enjoy.

The Moto G (Gen 2) has a 5-inch HD screen, front-facing speakers, microSD card support and 8MP rear camera. With the number of smartphone users growing each day, the pricing as well as specs that come along with the Moto G (2014) make it a flawless fit for the developing markets. Strangely enough though, the details page for the update was recently taken down by Verizon, which leaves continued release to other users hanging.

The G4 is LG’s 2015 flagship and several carriers have already seeded the Android 6.0 marshmallow update for the smartphone. Even a year and a half old wearable, the Moto 360 1st gen, is going to be updated first before your newer smartphones. If you thought you had missed it all when Android 5.1 Lollipop never made it to the Moto G (2014) model, all of the improvements, tweaks and new capabilities introduced on this iteration will now be at your disposal.

The OTA update is now being rolled out and is only available via OTA.

The doze mode: With the addition of this mode, apps that are seldom used are put into a deep sleep state, and when the watch is lying still (like when you remove it and forget to place it in the charging cradle overnight) it goes into a low-power mode, both of these resulting in more efficient utilization of the watch battery.
