It IS near stock Android, but there are Motorola enhancements in it and Moto wants to make sure everything works before they make the update widely available. First a limited test drive, then the full soak test, and then deployment. Plus this buys time for developers to get their apps updated to Android M compatibility. Few things worse than losing your favorite app's functionality because it wasn't updated for the latest operating system.

EDIT: Just saw this:

How long does it usually take after a soak test for the update to become public? And would updates after this like .01 updates take as long or no?

The_Chief · Nov 6, 2015

Without any insider knowledge, I would personally anticipate a full Android 6 rollout by the end of December.

And it looks like I'm right again!

Why will it take a few weeks if the moto x style already has it in brazil and india? I thought the Moto X PURE would be the first Motorola phone to have this update.... after all it is called the PURE edition

The_Chief · Nov 12, 2015

The Style is a pure GSM phone, universal in its capacity. I suppose the Pure, with all the various GSM, CDMA and LTE carriers, is a bit more complex and Moto wants to make absolutely sure that all users will have a good upgrade experience. My guess, anyway.

androidlover9 · Nov 12, 2015

But they don't have to wait for any carriers to approve the update, while with the style you do...

The_Chief · Nov 12, 2015

I'll just be happy to finally get it

androidlover9 · Nov 12, 2015

Why'd it take so long ? :S

WeeWilly · Nov 13, 2015

According to David Schuster, "We have also started the approval process for 2015 Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen) and expect to push it out in the next few weeks." Someone on another forum speculated that "approval process" might refer to T-Mobile band 12/VoLTE. That might also explain the delay for the MXPE.

The_Chief · Nov 13, 2015

Considering that the "test drive" and "soak test" were supposed to take a few weeks, I'm pleasantly surprised that the roll out is coming so fast. In fact, I'll be somewhat surprised if we don't have Android 6.0 by the end of this month.

androidlover9 · Nov 13, 2015

All I want is less glitches and better Screen on time..

BenjaminH · Nov 13, 2015

I think standby time should increase significantly because of marshmallow and doze. However, I doubt straight SOT itself will improve much.

macgiobuin · Nov 25, 2015

Still waiting......

WeeWilly · Nov 25, 2015

I think the holdup may be due to Motorola wanting the MXPE to support certain carrier enhancements, so it's not completely "carrier free." One example I've read about is waiting for T-Mobile to certify it for band 12 LTE.

Relax.... It will come.

androidlover9 · Nov 26, 2015

There's no excuse for this :/

johnnybirdman · Dec 1, 2015

perhaps some movement...???!! http://phandroid.com/2015/12/01/motorola-moto-x-pure-edition-android-60-marshmallow-soak-test/

Here's the scoop from David Schuster at Motorola, posted yesterday on his Google+ account:

"I’m pleased to announce that today we are starting the soak test period of Android 6.0 Marshmallow upgrade for the 2015 Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen) in the US. We will monitor the soak for next week and with good results, proceed to full launch."

androidlover9 · Dec 3, 2015

Apparently the white noise static thing when unlocking the screen hasn't been fixed yet.

The_Chief · Dec 3, 2015

What white noise static thing? Never seen that one...

Boo. I get it sometimes, but not consistently.

androidlover9 · Dec 3, 2015

No clue as to why it even happens, maybe the refresh rate is too low.

The_Chief · Dec 6, 2015

So far, so good!
