Android 6.0 Now Available for Nexus 5, 6, 7 and 9

“Marshmallow also brings battery life improvements, more privacy and security controls, and easier device setup”. But that doesn’t mean that you’re going to get it yet.

However one will need to wait for a month or so to get the OTA update of the Marshmallow onto their devices.

First things first, unlocked phones will always get Android updates faster than those sold through a carrier.

Arguably the most important new feature for developers is a revamped permissions model – apps will only prompt the user for a specific permission when a feature requires it. You can deny any permission and still continue to use the app.

Furthermore, for those who are eager to know, the Nexus 6 on T-Mobile is said to be getting the same MRA58K build too as all other Nexus variants. I’d expect the update to arrive on most of these phones starting in late 2015 and early 2016. There is however, a way to force that update through quicker. Now on Tap appears to be a serious contender for one of the coolest mobile features ever, while it’s about time Google got onboard the fingerprint train. The Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 9 and Nexus Player are all eligible for a free upgrade to Marshmallow. Instead, a notification that Marshmallow is available should come up on the device, with the option of updating it then and there, complete with installation instructions.

Direct share. Share photos, links, news, files, etc. with selected contacts easily and quickness. Tap and hold down the home button of your smartphone and Google Now will be showing you all the relevant information and even which app you have installed that will give you the best info.

The big push on the Marshmallow feature release is Now On Tap, their new contextual assistant that’s aware of what’s happening on your phone and can help you do certain tasks. The company moved on to unveil Marshmallow firmware for all former devices.

Unfortunately, the Nexus 4, original Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 are excluded from the update.
