Ever since Google announced the new Android 6.0 Marshmallow, many users have been asking whether their device will be getting the update or not, and if yes, then when the update will arrive. The answer, however, depends on whether your device’s manufacturer and carrier are interested in offering you the update.
A few manufacturers have already announced their plans regarding which devices will be getting the update; and for those that are not getting the update, they can always go the custom ROM way. However, installing a custom ROM is a bit tricky and not for everyone.
Here’s the current list of devices that will be getting the Android Marshmallow update.
