Owners of Verizon's DROID Turbo 2 by Motorola are getting the latest version of Android.

Earlier today, Verizon posted on the DROID Turbo 2's support page that a software update with Android 6.0 Marshmallow has started rolling out to devices. Marshmallow for the DROID Turbo 2 has been on an off over the last few weeks, but Motorola and Verizon have finally decided it is now time for everyone with one to start enjoying the sweetness of Android's freshest version.

Verizon highlights these features:

Google Now on Tap
Doze mode
App permissions
Expandable storage
Do Not Disturb
Volume controls
Direct Share
Moto Display fully replaces Ambient Display
Attentive Display

Two separate software updates will get Verizon's exclusive to Marshmallow. The first one, version 23.31.24, prepares the DROID Turbo 2 for the massive Marshmallow-packed version 24.14.10.

Verizon recently issued software updates to the LG G4, G3, and HTC One M9. What's important about that? Big Red is typically a slug when it comes to software updates, and getting multiple devices to the latest version of Android in such a short amount of time is positively shocking. Whoever it is at Verizon pushing the carrier to move so quickly, we applaud your work.

It should give Verizon customers ease knowing the carrier is finally paying attention to their wants of software updates being delivered in a timely manner.

You might want to change the title of the post. The way the title is phrased makes it sound like marshmallow is never going to happen, rather than something like “marshmallow is released”

  I disagree, my friend! We’re using the word “out” as a verb to say “released.” Many sites, including this one, have used “released” and so I wanted to change things up a bit.

    We must live in different countries with different colloquialisms then, because in the US that phrase doesn’t mean what you think it means (At least in the western part of the country).

      Born and raised in the U.S., too. We have differing takes.
