Schuster in a Google+ post said, "Full deployment will proceed in stages over the next few weeks. It is not yet available for pull, you will receive a notification on your phone when you are able to update your phone. 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".

• A new Memory Manager that lets you check memory usage of all your installed apps
• Volume controls have been greatly improved
• Do not disturb button has been added to the quick settings panel for easy access.
• System UI Tuner will appear in the settings menu at the very bottom once enabled. It provides a few simple UI tweaks.
• Google Now on Tap allows contextual information to be delivered based on content on your screen with a long press of the home key.

• Expandable Storage support allows for microSD cards to be used either in a portable storage or an internal storage mode. Portable storage allows your pictures, videos, audio and other media files to be stored. Internal storage allows both media storage along with apps and games but can not be used by other devices.
• RAM manager in settings which allows a consumer to view memory used by the system or an individual app over different time frames
• Automatic App backup not only backs up your apps but their associated data so when restored they will be the same as they were before
• Text selection has been improved
