The Android 6.0 Marshmallow comes with an array of new features like Google Now on Tap software feature, Doze battery management, improved configurable app permissions and more. All LG phones run on its very own LG UX user interface, which is the LG UX 4.0 for the Magna and the Spirit.

Although the company unveiled the LG UX 5.0 this year at the LG G5 launch it will only feature in future phones. LG, unlike Samsung and HTC, does not provide UI updates to its devices with every Android OS update. However, it can always be downloaded via the APK method.

The update currently rolling out is an OTA one. Those who want to check if their devices are ready for the update can head over to Settings>About Phone>System Updates to see if the Marshmallow update has arrived. If not you will just have to be patient until the update rolls out for your region.
