It is confirmed that LG G3 is to receive the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update as T-Mobile revealed that LG and partner mobile networks have agreed to support the latest software upgrade. The most exciting Android update in history will give G3 a bunch of new features and improvements.
T-Mobile posted a list of devices confirming that LG G3 will receive the official over-the-air (OTA) update of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. As one of America's biggest telecom companies, T-Mobile has revealed the track list on its software update support page to keep tabs on the current status of Android 6.0 Marshmallow to a bunch of handset devices including from Samsung, LG, HTC and Google.
However, exact release date of the upgrade to G3 smartphones is still elusive until now as T-Mobile has not spoken with regards to it. The previously reported October release will linger to be an unproven information, but tech analysts and Android fans both believe Marshmallow will not come to the device later than December 2015.
As per T-Mobile's track list, G3 is under manufacturer development status at present wherein the carrier and the device manufacturer have agreed to support the latest software update. This key stage will be followed by a carrier's testing to modify the software, including alterations for device hardware, wireless radios, and applications.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow will offer best-ever features and enhancements, as follows:
- Doze Mode. This new feature screens phone and puts into a deep sleep when unused to prolong battery life.
- Now on Tap. Google Now gets better function. Press holding the home button will show up Google Now and exhibits information based on current status or activity.
- Android Pay. By just a simple tap, bring up Android Pay and make purchases without the need to launch another app.
- Direct share. Share photos, links, news, files, etc. with selected contacts with ease and quickness.
- Simpler volume controls. Control ringtone and media volume spontaneously.
