Sony Android Marshmallow 6.0 update: Sony releases first list of smartphones

By now, the rollout Android 6.0 Marshmallow, or Android M, to Google’s own Nexus line of devices is about to begin. It’s the most premium Nexus devices to date. The upcoming Nexus 5X and 6P already come with pre-installed Android Marshmallow. Android users are likely to receive a notification about the update, if not they can manually update by going to Settings About Phone Software updates.

You might, quite reasonably, be wondering about the new naming convention. Simply put, it typically means that a given app is either poorly coded and inefficient with the amount of RAM it requires to operate, or does stuff when you’re least expecting – like when it’s supposedly not being used. A white border will appear around the sides of the device, informing you that Google is looking for and identifying items being shown on its screen.

In terms of core hardware, there is no comparison. We’ve heard your feedback, and have worked with the Android team to make translating text, chats, and other app content a whole lot easier. At least, theoretically it is faster than the Nexus 5X. The Nexus 6P is a mere 1mm taller than the iPhone 6S Plus, but we count this as a big win for Google’s effort as it manages to fit in an extra 0.2in of screen space over the iPhone 6S Plus while barely increasing the overall size. Apps are added and software is infused. This is also the area where the different product philosophy behind the phones becomes clear. Phones like the HTC One M7 won’t be updated officially, but may see unofficial support from third-party projects. The design is somewhat boring.

Another headline feature is the Fingerprint API. There’s also a fingerprint scanner and a USB Type-C port. Nexus 5X starts at $379. This option gives you quick details gathered from the search engine and indications towards appropriate content. Such indications are offered based on the content found in various applications and on what is shown on the gadget’s display. Don’t forget to let us know about your experience with the new Nexus and its shiny new operating system. Yes, you can do that with the Nexus 5. Earlier, Google’s “brain” team behind the new Nexus phones took part in an “Ask Me Anything” forum on Reddit where they were asked, not surprisingly, the same question. With Apple’s handsets, customers will find everything from Apple Pay to Apple News to the new and improved Notes.
