Google’s latest mobile operating system, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, is tipped to arrive later this week following Google’s recent press event. Which, as you may have guessed, has prompted several manufacturers, including Motorola, to spill the proverbial beans on when their respective products will receive the software update.
For Moto owners, it seems the outlook is relatively positive, with the Lenovo-owned company recently confirming on its official blog that most Moto phones released in 2014 and this year will get a taste of Android Marshmallow sometime in the future.

List of Moto handsets to be upgraded to Android 6.0 Marshmallow
The list includes a couple of devices sold by Motorola Philippines, namely the 2014 Moto X and 2014 Moto G. Curiously dropped from Motorola’s update road map is the 2015 Moto E (and its predecessors), which is disappointing to say the least, considering the claims Motorola previously made on its blog.

“And while other smartphones in this category don’t always support upgrades, we won’t forget about you, and we’ll make sure your Moto E stays up to date after you buy it,” said Magno Herran, Motorola’s marketing manager, in a hands-on video. By contrast, the more affordable Cherry Mobile One G1, as well as other Android One phones, are slated to get an OTA update to Marshmallow this week.
To be fair, Motorola did say that “things may change,” so there may be hope for the entry-level handset yet.
