Motorola posted Android 6.0 update release notes for the Moto G (2nd Gen) earlier this week. Today Motorola’s Senior Director of Software Product Management, David Schuster announced that Motorola has started Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) soak test for the 2014 Moto G (2nd Gen) and 2014 Moto G (2nd Gen) 4G in Brazil and India.
The Motorola Moto G (2nd Gen) was launched in India running Android 4.4 (KitKat). It received the Android 5.0 (Lollipop) update back in January last year in India. It got patches for Stagefright exploit back in September last year, but it did not get the Android 5.1 (Lollipop) update, so the smartphone is moving directly to Android 6.0. The Moto G (2nd Gen) 4G launched in India last year running Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop).
Motorola confirmed Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) update for a range of smartphones back in October last year. It recently added the Moto E (2nd Gen) 4G to list and said that it will get the Marshmallow update in some regions.
David Schuster also said that Motorola will monitor the soak test for next week, if it doesn’t have any bugs, the roll out will begin for everyone.
