Hence, Motorola smartphones are considered to be getting latest updates on timely basis. Unfortunately, Lenovo owned Motorola released list of smartphone which gets Android 6.0 Marshmallow has many disappointment.

    Latest Android 6.0

    So first let us which Motorola smartphones get Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. Then we will discuss on the device which are not listed in getting the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update.

    List of Motorola Smartphone which gets Android 6.0 Marshmallow

    • 2014 Moto G and Moto G with 4G LTE (2nd gen).
    • DROID Turbo.
    • 2014 Moto MAXX.
    • 2014 Moto Turbo.

    As you might have already observed, Moto E both 1st and 2gen are omitted. Also the Moto G as well is not included. Motorola when released Moto E 2nd Gen promised gaurenteed 2 major upgrades. First Gen Moto G and  Moto X can be considered old models. But 2nd Gen Moto E, is a big disappointment. Many people bought Moto E 2nd Gen just because of timely Android update. There are many smartphones with much better specification available for much less price. Motorola broke its promise.

    Motorola has not revealed the exact release date for Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. But company said will update on timings in the coming weeks.
