In this guide, we will show you how to manually update Lenovo K3 Note to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The most exciting feature the update brings to the device is official support for TheaterMax technology, besides Marshmallow features.

TheaterMax technology (first introduced in Lenovo K4 Note) brings an immersive large screen experience on Lenovo K3 Note via Lenovo’s AntVR headset. TheaterMax converts digital multimedia content into a three-dimensional (3D) experience, giving users a virtual large screen cinematic experience when viewed through a VR headset. The Marshmallow update for Lenovo K3 Note weighs 1657MB (build number K50a40_S322_160314_ROW), which you can download and install manually, if you have any issue updating via OTA. First, if you have not received the OTA notification for Android 6.0 update, check it by going to Settings -> About phone -> System updates -> Check for update.
