Certain Android One Devices Are Receiving An Android 6.0.1 Update

The OnePlus One will be receiving its update when Cyanogen OS gets updated to Android Marshmallow 6.0 sometime around the first quarter of 2016. Now, almost two months later, it’s finally here.

It’s worth remembering that even Nexus devices are yet to receive Android 6.0.1, so it is indeed surprising to see Android One getting precedence over Google’s flagship lineup of smartphones and tablets. Read on for more details.

If you are eager to find out what’s new with the update you can wait for it to hit your device or you can head into settings about phone and check for updates manually. From what we hear, only a select few Android One devices have gotten the update. T-Mobile has been promoting its use of Band 12 for the mobile operator’s Extended Range LTE.

The OnePlus 2 will also be updated in Q1 next year, and the company confirmed that the update will add the new standard Marshmallow API for the fingerprint sensor. This was a critical part of the update, which was the cause of the delay.

The update is of 620.9MB and it carries Android Security patches upto 1st November 2015.

A leaked roadmap has recently surfaced on the internet which shows the users of the upcoming Android 6.0 Marshmallow updates for Samsung devices.

One of our readers in the Motorola update program received the soak test for the Moto G (2nd generation) and promptly let us know all about it. Now, it is a soak test, so we won’t pretend that everything is flawless: there are a couple of things that don’t quite work properly yet. In such a scenario, the freak Note 5 Marshmallow update hints at a bug in T-Mobile’s system.

T-Mobile stated the update could arrive “soon” so no exact date has been given. Those pages should be updated sometime today, so we’ll be on the lookout for further information, and we’ll simultaneously have our fingers crossed that the rollout itself won’t be far behind.
