Motorola Droid Turbo Finally Gets a Taste of Android Marshmallow





Verizon Wireless has started rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for the Motorola Droid Turbo, which was launched in the year 2014. The latest OTA update carries the software version 24.81.5.en-US and weighs in at around 1.1 GB in size.

While a complete changelog is not available yet, the update does include the usual Marshmallow features such as Google Now on Tap, Doze mode for improved battery life during standby, customizable app permissions, new app drawer, and more. It also brings Wi-Fi calling feature to the Motorola Droid Turbo. More detailed information regarding the changes included with the update will be revealed once Verizon updates the Droid Turbo software update page.

The update rollout has only begun a few hours back, so it may not be available yet for most Droid Turbo owners yet. Ideally, it takes a few days for the update to reach all users, so we would recommend you to be patient. Once the update does become available for your unit, you should see an automatic notification on your smartphone, asking you to download and install the Marshmallow update. In case you do not receive any such notification, you can check for the update manually by heading over to Settings – About Phone – Software Updates – Check for Updates. One thing you should keep in mind before you download the update is to connect your Motorola Droid Turbo to a Wi-Fi network. Since the update weighs in at over 1.1 GB, it would be a bad idea to download the update over the Verizon wireless network connection. You should also check if your Droid Turbo has at least 50% battery charge remaining before installing the update, as your device might end up getting soft bricked if the battery runs out completely before the OTA update installation process can be completed.
