Android 6.0 Updates For LG G4

For the second year in a row, LG is announcing a lightning-fast rollout for the new version of Android on its flagship phone. The LG G4 will start getting Marshmallow next week, but only if you live in Poland. That was also the first G3 Lollipop market last year. LG likes Poland, I guess. Other markets in Europe, Asia, and the Americas are to follow.

LG cites the improved permission system, do not disturb mode, and doze as the headlining features of the Marshmallow update. That's all stuff you can currently only experience on a Nexus device. Not even Motorola (with its new Lenovo masters) has announced a Marshmallow soak test. This doesn't mean LG is sending you Marshmallow personally, just that it is starting the long and arduous process of deploying the OTA.

LG will probably be monitoring for feedback on the Polish update before tweaking it for deployment in the rest of the world. US carriers are also likely to slow things down as they test and certify the OTA. The Lollipop update didn't hit some variants of the G3 until late winter last time. Temper your expectations.
