Google finally announced the successor to Lollipop update in late September and it sounds even tastier.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow has been released and it will already have started arriving to a number of Nexus devices (which get updates directly from Google). The rest of the non-Nexus devices will have to wait for some time for the third-party manufacturers to enjoy the update. However, it is certainly something to look forward to!
There are many updated features. Along with fine-tuned app permissions with less of a need to cater to frequent request permissions, Google Now has new predictive powers. There are new features to improve battery life like App standby and there is fingerprint scan availability! (Who doesn’t want that?) There are plenty of other small improvements like improved copy, cut paste and a darker theme. You will discover more as you go, let’s not spoil the fun for you.
Following is the list of phones set to receive 6.0 Marshmallow update:
- Nexus 5
- Nexus 6
- Nexus 7 (2013)
- Nexus 9
- Nexus Player
These are the first devices to get the update, which is on its way. However, Google sends the update out in stages, so it might be several days or even a week or two before Marshmallow arrives on them.
Samsung
- Galaxy Note 4
- Galaxy Note 5
- Galaxy Note Edge
- Galaxy S5
- Galaxy S6
- Galaxy S6 Edge
- Galaxy Tab S2
Samsung has not yet commented on update schedule but it usually takes a few months to push the updates. The good part is that all of its flagships do eventually get the latest update. So even If you don’t own the latest Galaxy phones which have been confirmed, you will get Marshmallow at some point. These devices are set to receive the update according to a list uploaded by T-mobile.

Where is the list of Qmobiles? You ProPakistani people are always biased against Pakistani Brands ?
.
Sent from Nexus Noir Z4 ?
LOL. This comment made my day.
My Android One phone (the QMobile A1) received the Marshmallow OTA a few days ago.
hahahahah
this joke really tastes like MARSHMALLOW YUMMY YUMMY.
Where’s the joke? Are you unfamiliar with the QMobile A1? You can search propakistani for a post titled “Android One to be Introduced in Pakistan within a Week”. The software on that phone (and it’s the only QMobile phone like it) is supported by Google, not QMobile. The phone will receive updates for 18-24 months.
At Rs 11,500, it’s the cheapest stock Android phone with full developer support in the local market. It is not the best phone hardware-wise, but software updates for 18-24 months makes it a great choice for developers.
How is the Phone working performance?
I have the same Android One phone from Qmobile, but i haven’t received the latest firmware yet, it’s strange!
hahahahahaha
Cuzzz Q mobile is a ridiculous brand you cheapster.
There is something called sarcasm you dumb
Only Qmobile. A1 will recieve marshmallow update
It will definitely comes in qmobile A1 as soon as it launched.
Acutally Qmobile b day dauty to content copyright ka masla aa jata koun ye copied article hy….
You need to update the list, Sammobile has provided a list on Samsung and it’s was longer than what you have posted.
Totally useless incomplete list. What a waste of an article space.

Thanks HTC <3
hey anyone know how am i going to upgrade my LG Optimus G E970 jellybean to alteast kitkat or lolipop version
The last line of the article says “According to a list uploaded by T-mobile, these LG devices are preparing to deliver a software “4
It seems the list represents T Mobile phones only.
Glad to know my Desire 816 will also get the update, I thought I would be left over as HTC is not known for their OS updates. So I can keep this one for another 6 months or more ?. This post made my day.
Source for motorola? Which blog you’re talking about Sir?
Yesterday received the update on q mobile a1
Where is Huawei ?
Hey everyone!! I don’t know why I am still not getting 6.0 marshmallow update on my samsung galaxy note 5. Can anyone please help or tell me what is the problem?
