No Marshmallow for Moto X 2014 (AT&T and Verizon)

Owners of Motorola’s second generation Moto X under the AT&T or Verizon brand will not be receiving further updates, including Google’s new Android 6.0 update. This news comes from Motorola’s official statement on which phones will be receiving Marshmallow.

While the Pure Edition of the Moto X will be receiving the update, anyone who bought the phone through the said carriers will be left out. This will disappoint many Moto X users who bought the phone for the reason of timely updates and long support. Here is the full list of Motorola devices receiving Android 6.0:

• 2015 Moto X Pure Edition (3rd gen)
• 2015 Moto X Style
• 2015 Moto X Play
• 2015 Moto G (3rd gen)
• 2014 Moto X Pure Edition (2nd gen)
• 2014 Moto G (2nd gen US & Europe)
• 2014 Moto Maxx
• 2014 Droid Turbo
• Nexus 6 (carrier and unlocked)

To clarify that carrier branded Moto X 2nd gen will not receive the update, Matt from Motorola stated on Motorola forums that “The carrier version — AT&T and Verizon — will not get the upgrade.”

Whether this is because the now-owned Lenovo company is shifting resources away from software updates, it’s clear that Motorola is focusing on selling unlocked smartphones to customers rather than through carriers, specifically with the new Moto X Pure Edition they are strongly pushing for $499 in the US.
