Seen on the Motorola official blog

http://motorola-blog.blogspot.co.nz/2015/10/marshmallow-and-smore.html


It's nice that a phone manufacturer (who for sure have little bloatware on their phones anyway) has decided to remove their own apps which are similar in functionality to those in Marshmallow.  This is a far cry from Samsung(!) and to a lesser extent, other manufacturers who will up their phones with bloatware which both slow the phones down and slowdown the migration to the latest Android OS.

And Motorola's upgrade for Marshmallow seems to cover most of their current range.

This is the upgrade path for retail Motorola phones in NZ

I saw something about this also, its an awesome move and one I hope becomes standard practice amongst other OEM's

Can't see Samsung conceding though, they wont be happy until they have their own 100% self sufficient OS and walled playground
