Android 6.0 Marshmallow is now coming near to Motorola MotoTurbo smartphones, as the device is now under the development process. Marshmallow will bring in a laundry of list of new key features and improvements.

Motorola Moto Turbo is one of the eight lucky devices of the brand confirmed to receive the official Android 6.0 Marshmallow via over-the-air (OTA) upgrade. All unlocked and retail versions of the device distributed by Motorola were announced on its support page for Marshmallow plans.

Unlocked Moto X Pure Edition (2015) and Moto G (2015) smartphones have just been updated with Marshmallow while carrier versions have yet to wait for their operators to release it.

The upgrade will come in stages through a notification message and is expected to hit the northern American region later this month. Update had already begun in Brazil and India since December 2015.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow comes with a new power saving feature called Doze. Google offers to help users control battery consumption.
