Wrap Upwardly

There is some talk on reddit that the updates are just hitting unlocked devices, thus information technology may be some time yet before carrier variants receive Marshmallow. Likewise, there seem to be a number of countries in Europe that haven't received the update yet; at the moment information technology's unclear as to if LG volition be distributing it to all territories or if the roll-out volition be in stages. Nosotros volition update this story appropriately every bit we learn more data.

At the very to the lowest degree, LG has once once again managed to get a new Android Bone build out before just about all of its rivals. Those interested in theother flagship of 2015, the V10, might be somewhat saddened to note that the Korean OEM isn't planning to update said device until next year, no doubt a upshot of the unique situation related to the second brandish.

Allow us know if you've received Marshmallow on your G4 notwithstanding, and if you take, what your initial impressions are.
