Motorola has announced that their 2015 Moto E smartphone will get the Android Marshmallow update in some countries.
The update will be released in certain countries which include Latin America, Canada, Europe, and Asia but excluding China.
Features of Android Marshmallow
Android Marshmallow, also known as Android 6.0, brings a host of new features and improvements to the Moto E. One of the most notable features is the Doze mode, which significantly improves battery life by putting the device into a deep sleep state when it is not in use. This is particularly beneficial for users who often find themselves running out of battery before the end of the day.
Another key feature is App Permissions, which gives users more control over the permissions that apps request. This means you can now choose to grant or deny specific permissions, such as access to your camera or location, on a case-by-case basis. This enhances both security and privacy for users.
Motorola’s Approach to Software
We believe your phone should look and behave like you want it to. That means our approach to software is ‘less is more’, so you can focus on the choices that are right for you. In fact, we’ve made it a priority to avoid bloatware and skins, and focus on identifying and tackling areas where we can enable more meaningful exchanges between you and your phone, such as simple voice controls and notifications that you can interact with even when your phone is asleep.
This philosophy has enabled us to make what we think are the most personal and responsive phones in the world, built on a foundation of pure Android with a few Moto Enhancements to improve (not impede) overall functionality.
Motorola’s commitment to a “less is more” approach means that the Moto E will benefit from a clean and uncluttered user interface. This is in stark contrast to many other manufacturers who load their devices with bloatware and custom skins that can slow down performance and take up valuable storage space. By focusing on a pure Android experience with a few meaningful enhancements, Motorola ensures that users get the best possible performance and usability from their devices.
For example, Moto Enhancements include features like Moto Display, which allows you to see notifications at a glance without waking up your phone, and Moto Actions, which lets you perform tasks with simple gestures. These enhancements are designed to make the phone more intuitive and user-friendly without compromising on performance.
As soon as we get some more information on exactly when the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update will be available for the 2015 Moto E, we will let you guys know.
