Nexus (5,6,7,9) devices and Nexus player gets a marshmallow firmware update

A couple of weeks ago, Google announced that the upcoming operating system will be called as M. There had been a little bit of confusion in the 6.0 version moniker. In Android M (6.0) what ‘M’ stands for?

Later on, Android engineer posted an image in the twitter, shows green droid holding marshmallow. Soon after, the company unveils LG and Huawei Nexus 5 devices that runs on the latest marshmallow OS. All other Smartphone lined-up for latest firmware update. We already listed Huawei Smartphones that get a marshmallow update by the end of this month. In the latest news, Google brings marshmallow for the former Nexus devices. The list will not include all the Nexus Smartphones.

A factory image has been published online that includes compatible devices. As we listed, the OTA update will reach Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 6, Nexus Player followed by Nexus 5 flagships. Unluckily, Google hasn’t listed any of the predecessor that has supportive features. We can’t promise, the company might work on new firmware and unlock OTA update in the upcoming session. Currently, these five devices get marshmallow excluding Nexus 7(2012), Nexus 10 and Nexus 4.
