On October 5, Google began rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update to the Nexus 6. This latest software has tons of new features, security enhancements, better battery life and unfortunately a few problems according to some users. Now that the update has been here for over a week, we want to take a look at five things all Nexus 6 owners should know.
Since the end of May, Google has offered an early developer preview or beta version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It was called Android M at the time, and the company has released three developer previews to get all apps, games, and more ready for the inevitable release.
Then on September 29, Google officially announced the Android 6.0 Marshmallow release date, with the introduction of the new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P smartphones. Google promised the update would arrive next week, and it arrived on the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7, Nexus 9, and Nexus Player on October 5. Here’s what you need to know about it.
As we mentioned above, the October 5 update first hit some users, starting with the Nexus 9 tablet. But those who own the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 aren’t lucky enough to get the over-the-air (OTA) software update that fast. With a week removed, most users should have gotten Android 6.0 Marshmallow by now.
But if you haven’t received the update yet, you’ll want to keep reading everything you need to know about the Nexus 6 Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. Below, we’ll cover the update, how to get it now if it hasn’t arrived yet, some issues users are facing, and other details about Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Below is a collection of information and details about the Nexus 6 Marshmallow update to help users with any Nexus 6 (unlocked, international or carrier units) be better prepared, understand what’s coming, or get the latest software version right away. Our first impressions were pretty positive, but owners will still want to review everything in the slideshow below to better prepare for the future with Android 6.0 and up.
