Telephone manufacturers are already gearing upward to update their devices to the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow Bone , as we detailed earlier, but it seems like LG G4 might be the first outside the Nexus lineup to really receive Google's latest. LG announced that it will outset rolling out the update beginning next week, and that Poland would exist the first cease on the listing, with other regions such every bit the Usa, Asia, and Europe to follow, though LG has not revealed any schedule for information technology yet. It is a common practice among manufacturers to roll out the update to a limited-size region outset, to check for any issues before a worldwide release.

The update will only non be limited to the G4, though; LG has plans to extend information technology to other smartphones nether its wings too.These devices would exist the V10, Grand Flex 2, G3, and G2. LG is expected to release an official schedule for the update roll-out before long. "While speed lone isn't an indicator of dandy service, it does get a long way toward giving consumers the confidence that LG is committed to its existing customers first," LG mobile communication head Chris Yie said in a statement.

At the time of Android five.0 Lollipop upgrade, LG followed the similar strategy of rolling out the update in Poland first. However, it then took months to finally bring it to users in the US. Withal, it is good to come across that at to the lowest degree some Android manufacturers are taking reward of the Developer Preview to speed up an otherwise lengthy upgrade process.

The Marshmallow update will bring along lots of skillful features, such as enhanced app control and permissions, battery life improvements (thank you to the 'Doze' mode), fingerprint support, and mobile payments. Select Nexus devices have already received the update, which has brought in the much-awaited 'Now on Tap' characteristic to the platform. The new feature is a revamped version of the Google At present. Talking nearly Now on Tap, Google'southward Vice President of Android Product Direction Brian Rakowski said in a blog post, "[it] stays on task alongside you, instantly pulling up relevant info and helping you get more washed."

Other manufacturers, including Sony, Motorola, and HTC, take as well appear the Marshmallow update for their own devices, although no one has announced any set timeline for the ringlet-out. Information technology is not always the case that LG takes the pb in rolling out updates timely, only it's worth noting information technology did so at the time of Android 5.0 Lollipop update, as well. And so who's next? After LG's annunciation, we are hoping — nay, expecting — other manufacturers to coughing upwards some news too.
