Lenovo on Wednesday announced that the Vibe K4 Note smartphone in India has started receiving the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. The update is available over-the-air (OTA) though users can manually check for the update via Settings > About Phone > System Update.

To refresh on some of the features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow (previously just Android M) include revamped app permissions; Google Now on Tap feature; new Chrome feature that will change the Web experience for Android users; new ways to handle Web links; Android Pay mobile payment system is now official with Android M; New Silent feature for sound and vibrate mode as well as a 'Do Not Disturb' mode to block all sounds or only alarms and notifications, and battery saver features called Doze that will make Android devices smart about managing power. Some of the other additions include new RAM manager, adoptable storage devices, new app drawer, auto backup, and restore for apps.
To recall, Lenovo had in April announced that it sold 500,000 units of the Vibe K4 Note smartphone while 100,000 units of the Ant virtual reality (VR) headsets were sold at that time. This means that the company in almost a month sold close 100,000 units of the Vibe K4 Note and around 50,000 units of the Ant VR headsets.
