Verizon Droid Maxx 2 Finally Receives the Android 6.0 Marshmallow Update





Verizon Wireless has rolled out the first major update for the Droid Maxx 2 that it launched in October last year, alongside the Droid Turbo 2. As we told you recently, Big Red announced the final Android 6.0 Marshmallow update rollout for owners of the Droid Turbo 2. After rolling out the update to the more expensive sibling, the carrier has now shifted focus to the Droid Maxx 2.

The Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for the Droid Maxx 2 started rolling out over the weekend, so by now some of you may have received the update on your device. If you haven’t received the update notification on your smartphone yet, you may need to wait a little longer. Alternatively, you also have the option of checking for the update manually by going to Settings – About Phone – Software Update. If the update is available for your device, you should be able to download the OTA update and get it installed. However, before you proceed to download the OTA update, do make sure that you connect your device to a Wi-Fi network. Since the Android Marshmallow update weighs in at around 1GB in terms of size, we do not recommend downloading the OTA update over the cellular network.

After installing the update on your Motorola Droid Maxx 2, you should see the current software version get updated to SU1A: 23.44.3.lux_verizon.verizon.en.US/ SU2B: 24.64.4.lux_verizon.verizon.en.US. Some of the key highlights of the new update include Google Now on Tap with contextual search results, Doze mode, app standby, more control over app permissions, app links, adaptable expandable storage, do not disturb, more intuitive volume controls, and Direct Share. In addition to these changes, Motorola has removed the Ambient Display feature and migrated it to Moto Display. More info on the software update can be found at this link.
