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. If update is available, let it download and install.

If no update is found for some reasons or cannot update via OTA due to network issue, you can download the OTA update file and flash it manually.
