Android 6.0

Android Marshmallow Release Date

Update: Android Marshmallow release date is upon us. LG is the first third-party manufacturer to get its update through and it'll start rolling out from October 19 in Poland. Android 6.0 is rolling out now to the Nexus 5, 6, 7, 9 and Nexus Player as an OTA update. Read on for more details.

Android Marshmallow is here. There are battery life improvements, greater app permission controls, standardised support for fingerprint scanners, more granular volume controls, USB-C support and new Google Now features are all part of a mix that makes this an exciting upgrade for users. But is your phone actually going to get it?

Remember now Android Marshmallow has launched, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll have instant access to it. In fact, you probably don't. It's down to device manufacturers and in some countries like the US carriers spend quite a bit of time with the new software before treating their phones and tablets to it.

If you own a Nexus device you're in luck as the software has landed there first, plus manufacturers like Motorola are generally better at getting it out quickly. But every other manufacturer is a little less predictable.

To make the rollout less of a mystery here's the latest - and constantly updated information - on when Android Marshmallow is likely to land on the various devices out there.
