LG is most likely developing the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system and may release it for its G3 and G4 flagships via an over-the-air (OTA) update, in the coming weeks. Although the update schedule is yet to be revealed.

The company's Korean support site has listed the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for some variants of the LG G3 and LG G4 flagships, which include the LG G3 F400S, F400K and F400L as well as the LG G4 F500S, F500K and F500L. All these variants are currently running on Android Lollipop operating system.

According to the list, LG G3 and G4 users can manually check its availability by navigating to System Settings > About phone > Software update. However, corresponding support pages are yet to be listed to give detailed information of the Android Marshmallow update.

Apart from LG, Motorola and HTC recently announced the arrival of Android 6.0 Marshmallow for their smartphones. Google is also in development to release stock Android Marshmallow for the Nexus devices starting next week. The update will be available on the Nexus 6, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 2013, Nexus 9 Nexus Player but the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 (2012) and Nexus 10 are excluded from the list due to their dated hardware.

Google officially released Android 6.0 Marshmallow as the successor to the last year's Android 5.0 Lollipop earlier this year. The new operating system comes with features like Google Now on Tap, Visual Voicemail and RAM Manager and includes improvements such as Chrome Custom Tabs, simplified app permissions and Doze power-saving option.
