Motorola already testing Android 6.0 for the Moto X Pure Edition

It seems that Motorola has begun testing Android 6.0 on the Moto X Pure Edition. Don’t get excited just yet, though. Motorola’s David Schuster says that it’s a preliminary “TestDrive,” which is something that happens before the company is ready to conduct a full soak test.

Here’s what Schuster had to say:

There have been a couple reports of a Marshmallow “soak test” that has started for Moto X 2015 Pure Edition. Just want to make it clear that we have NOT started a formal “soak test”. We have started a small TestDrive for the Marshmallow upgrade on Moto X 2015 Pure Edition. We will be conducting these tests for the next couple of weeks. Pending the feedback during this test cycle will determine the timing of a full soak test.

In other words, barring any problems with this “TestDrive,” Motorola could run a Android Marshmallow soak test before the end of 2015. It’s not likely that we’ll see a full rollout before the end of 2015, but this is still great news considering how long it took for many of Motorola’s devices to get updated past Android 4.4.

Motorola earlier this month detailed its plans as to which devices would be receiving Android 6.0, so it’s not surprising that we’re already seeing hints of it in development for some devices.

We’re crossing our fingers!
