The Moto X 2014 Pure Edition (US Version) Is Being Updated To Marshmallow Now

Michael Crider

Motorola is swiftly making its way through its Moto X flagship series, upgrading all of them to Android 6.0. Today it's the Moto X 2014 Pure Edition's turn - that's the one that was sold carrier-free in the US on Motorola's website between last fall and this fall. Several Android Police readers, plus posters on Reddit and XDA, say they've been given the over-the-air update as of yesterday. To be clear, we haven't heard anything about the various carrier editions of the Moto X 2014; presumably those will be trickling in over the next few weeks as the carriers run their various tests and certifications.

Motorola Starts Android 6.0 Rollout For A Couple Devices, But Brazil And India Only For Now

Bertel King, Jr.

As part of Google, Motorola garnished a reputation for speedy updates. These days the company has a new owner, and those OTAs don't seem to come out as reliably as they used to. But Motorola hasn't gone back on its promise to bring Marshmallow to something, and now it's beginning its rollout for the 2015 Moto X Style and the 2014 Moto X, according to Senior Director David Schuster.

[Update: 2nd Gen Moto E, Too] Motorola Is Preparing To Release Android 5.1 For Both The 1st And 2nd Gen Moto X In The U.S

Bertel King, Jr.

The Moto X line is a great destination for Nexus lovers who tire of feeling like beta testers for Google, but the transition does come at the expense of timely updates (not that all Nexus devices are speedy). Fortunately Motorola remains committed to getting its devices up to date, and it looks like Android 5.1 may soon come to both iterations of the Moto X.

Motorola has posted release notes detailing what users can expect from the 5.1 update.

[Deal Alert] Refurbished AT&T Unlocked 2nd Gen Moto X Only $250 On eBay

Bertel King, Jr.

The 2nd generation Moto X is one of the best devices you buy running stock Android, especially if you're among those that consider this year's Nexus to be better sized for giants than humans. The device still sells for roughly half a grand, but if you're willing to pick up a refurbished model, you can current get one for just $250 on eBay.

These units are unlocked AT&T models, so you're free to take them to your GSM carrier of choice. Naturally, you will have to do without your own customizations. These are black phones, and there may be some signs of previous use, so you're not going to walk away with the most extravagant Moto X on the block.

Lollipop Update For Moto X (2nd Gen) On AT&T Shows Up Over Three Months Late To The Party

Bertel King, Jr.

It takes a while to fit the latest version of Android on a device, get it carrier certified, and push it out to users. I get that. But for whatever reason, AT&T's version of the 2014 Moto X got lost in the shuffle. While the pure edition of the flagship phone received Lollipop back in November, with Verizon following shortly thereafter, AT&T's version is apparently only just now going out over the air.

By this point, you know what to expect with Android 5.0.2. You get the cool new app launcher filled with a bunch of redesigned apps sporting Material Design and lots of bright colors.

Motorola's Punit Soni: There Will Be No Second Generation Moto X Developer Edition For Verizon

Michael Crider

Root addicts and ROM flashers on Verizon, prepare to lose it. According to a short question and answer session with Motorola Mobility's VP of Product Management Punit Soni, there will be no Developer Edition of the swanky second-gen Moto X for Verizon. Google+ user Shane Barone asked Mr. Soni about the availability of a developer edition and got this apologetic reply:

soni

Developer Editions are special carrier editions of phones sold without a contract and with an unlockable bootloader, made available for customers on carriers that permanently lock bootloaders as a matter of course. The original Moto X was made available in a Verizon Developer Edition and a GSM Developer Edition, ostensibly for AT&T customers.
