Those who have invested in a Motorola Moto G3 will probably be happy to learn that the device is set to get the latest major release of its Android operating system – Marshmallow – and according to reports, this should happen by the end of this year. It’s good to see that Motorola are intent on keeping their devices up to date, as the phone is still relatively new to the market and its users would definitely expect to see it updated for at least half a year more or so.
The device has been a pretty strong success on the market so far, with various features that set it apart from the competition and have allowed it to dominate its relevant area with ease. It’s a pretty durable phone, all things considered, with added water resistance and increased battery life, as well as an overall design that can withstand quite a beating. It’s obvious that Motorola didn’t cut any corners in the physical design of the Moto G3, and this has been one of the main attracting features for the phone.
And now, when it’s upgraded to Android Marshmallow, that should unleash its potential even better than before. The operating system has improved a bit since its last major release and it’s now much more capable of handling specialized multimedia tasks as well as multitasking efficiently. It’s been a slow push to get it out on all Android devices on the market, but that’s the usual case with the operating system.
Indeed, we’re probably going to see some lag in the progress there, which is why companies like Motorola are going to score some positive points with their users by working hard to deliver the latest release as quickly as possible. Of course, we don’t expect to see all devices by the company updated equally fast, but they should still get the new version of the operating system at some point.
Google themselves have been working hard to improve the overall performance and stability of Android and make it easily compatible with a wide range of devices, but their success also depends on the compatibility of Android with different phones that are available on the market, and this is something relatively hard for the company to control.
Meanwhile, Motorola’s fans have been wondering what they could expect from the next release in the line, as the Moto brand has been growing in popularity quite rapidly. There are some rumors going around regarding this, but it’s hard to separate the plausible ones from the rest, and it’s also probably a bit too early to discuss these options. If Motorola are planning another entry in the Moto line, it will likely happen around the middle of next year.
As for the G3, as we mentioned above, it’s also quite the sturdy phone and is able to take a lot of beating before it stops working, and that has added to its popularity with users looking for something that can last a longer time under more serious use. Motorola definitely know how to deliver in this regard, as we’ve seen multiple times.
So we fully expect them to continue this trend in the G4, whenever the device is announced, and we wouldn’t be surprised if Motorola actually decided to go one step further and added even more features that make the phone sturdy and long-lasting. The market keeps getting more and more new options in this regard.
