LG G4 will be the first non-Nexus device to get Android’s latest version; marshmallow. According to the company, owners of this flagship in Poland will be the first to get Marshmallow, with owners in other countries following on later. This version was released last week to Nexus devices. LG is usually known for tweaking its devices with its own software delaying the update process but this new development pushes LG to the forefront of receiving Android’s latest update.
The latest update to the Android operating system offers a number of features designed to enhance the user experience, such as:
- Permissions have been simplified with greater control of the information applications can access, not only at the installation stage but any time
- Silent feature for sound and vibrate mode as well as a Do Not Disturb mode to block all sounds or only alarms and notifications
- Doze Mode which shuts down background processing of certain apps when the phone is not in use, to significantly prolong battery life.
Chris Yie, vice president and head of marketing communications for LG Mobile Communications Company said in a statement: “By working closely with Google, LG has been able to bring Android 6.0 to the G4 ahead of any of our competitors,” “While speed alone isn’t an indicator of great service, it does go a long way toward giving consumers the confidence that LG is committed to its existing customers first.”
