Motorola confirms Android 6.0 Marshmallow for range of smartphones
Google announced at its event earlier this week that it will roll out Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) update for Nexus devices starting from next week. HTC already confirmed list of 12 devices that will get the update, Motorola just announced the list of smartphones that will get the Android 6.0 update first. This includes the Moto X (2nd Gen, 3rd Gen Pure Edition, Style and Play), Moto G (2nd and 3rd Gen), DROID Turbo, Moto MAXX and Moto Turbo.
Motorola will be removing some apps they have developed in the past in favor of Marshmallow capabilities. Moto Assist will be removed since Do not disturb in Android Marshmallow offers the same feature. It is also removing Motorola Migrate since Android M offers better support for backing up user data and is also removing Motorola Connect Google Chrome extension, which will retire in November.
In Marshmallow, Attentive Display will be integrated into Moto Actions. Moto Display settings will be consolidated in a single place, so to turn Moto Display on and off, you need to open the Moto app, tap the icon on the top right corner of the screen, go to Display and tap the switch at the top. Moto Display also gets music controls for external music playing apps, in addition to the stock music app that was introduced in Android Lollipop.
