Android Marshmallow is almost ready, with Google expected to unveil the final version of the OS before the end of the month - but when will your phone get Android M? Here we reveal exactly what to expect from Android 6.0 Marshmallow including release date and new features. Plus, Google has just unveiled three new sample apps for Android Marshmallow.
Android Marshmallow is almost ready following its Google I/O 2015 Developer Preview debut, with Google expected to unveil the final version of the OS before the end of the month. Here we reveal exactly what to expect from Android 6.0 Marshmallow including release date and new features.
The Developer Preview of Android Marshmallow is available now to owners of Nexus phones, with the final version launching on the new Nexus 5 and new Nexus 6 within the next few weeks. The OS will then become available to other Nexus devices, and within a few months to flagship phones and tablets. Don't expect to get it on your device (unless it's a Nexus) until late 2015/early 2016.
The latest reports come from Talk Android and suggest Google will unveil the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 on 29 September, with the phones available to pre-order from 13 October. By our reckoning, that means they will go on sale in early November, and Android 6.0 will then begin to roll out to other devices.
If you really want to get your hands on Android M now then you can download the Android M Developer Preview, but only if you have a Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9 or Nexus Player.
Well, that all depends on your phone. If it's a high-end device from a well-known manufacturer such as Sony, Samsung or HTC, it's almost certain that an upgrade to Marshmallow will become available to it. However, don't expect to get the upgrade until early 2016, since it will first roll out to Nexus devices.
Cheaper and older smartphones, or those from smaller manufacturers, may never get the upgrade to Android M. One of the key criticisms against Android is its fragmentation.
At the last count, on 7 September 2015, only 21 percent of Android devices were running Lollipop, and 39.2 percent KitKat. That leaves nearly 40 percent running Android operating systems more than two years old, and 40 percent translates to an awful lot of phones and tablets.
If you're running Lollipop now then you may well get an upgrade to Android M. If you're running KitKat or an older Android operating system, don't count your chickens.
HTC has already confirmed that the HTC One M9, HTC One M9+ and HTC One M8 will all receive the Android M update.
After months of rumours and arguments in the office over the version number and name of the next Android, Google has finally ended the dispute by announcing that Android M will be Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
