T-Mobile publishes list of devices to receive Android 6.0 Marshmallow update

[Peter Holden]

While Nexus owners revel in the Android 6.0 Marshmallow goodness in the form of both OTA‘s and download links, the rest of us wait to find out when, or indeed, if, our devices will ever be updated. The US carrier, T-Mobile, has published a list that consists almost entirely of flagship devices that will be updated to Android 6.0, the details of which are after the break.


T-Mobile has included the Nexus 5/6/7 and 9 models in the list, with the Marshmallow update being available for all of them except the Nexus 6, which T-Mobile has yet to approve. The delay is probably down to the carrier requesting WiFi-calling to be included in the firmware. You may notice that there are no Sony devices in the list, whatsoever. Let’s hope the Xperia Z3’s exclusion is merely an oversight and not an indication it will be marooned on Android 5.1.1 lollipop.

It’s a three-stage process, with the devices starting off in Manufacturer Development; which is where the handset makers develop the update, which then proceeds to the second-stage where T-Mobile evaluates the update. And finally, the only part that most of us care about, the third stage sees the update released to the handset.

Is your handset on the list? Let us know in the comments.
