Android 6.0 Marshmallow updates roundup – October 14, 2015
Android 6.0 Marshmallow is here, and now the waiting game is on. “When will my phone get the Marshmallow update?” ask countless Android fans, and for good reason: while phone makers are doing a better job at keeping their devices up to date, the process is still lengthy and opaque. Worse, many models will inevitably be left behind. We’re here to shed some light on the issue.
In this post, which will be updated weekly, we are rounding up all the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update news, so you can get a good picture of what to expect.
Before we start
The release of Android updates for most devices is a complex operation, involving Google, chipmakers, device makers, and carriers. With so many players, and so many things that could go wrong, you should expect delays, slow rollouts, botched releases, and generally a lot of variation based on your specific model, your region, and your carrier.
Just because your device is listed here as officially announced to receive Marshmallow (or worse, just rumored to get the update), it doesn’t mean your particular model will receive it in a timely manner or even at all.
Conversely, just because your phone or tablet isn’t listed here, it doesn’t mean that it won’t be updated it. OEMs occasionally change their minds. In other cases, the lists that they put out are non-final.
Patience is advised.

Nexus Marshmallow updates
As in most cases, Nexus devices are first in line for updates. Google has released Android 6.0 factory images for Nexus devices on October 5. These images can be flashed manually, allowing you to bypass a potentially lengthy wait for the OTA update. Factory images are available for:
- Nexus 6
- Nexus Player
- Nexus 9 LTE
- Nexus 9 WiFi
- Nexus 5 GSM/LTE
- Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi
- Nexus 7 2013 Mobile
The Nexus 4, Nexus 7 2012 (both variants), and Nexus 10 will not make the jump to Marshmallow.
If you don’t want to wait, it’s relatively easy to flash a factory image, following our guide:
You can also manually flash the OTA zip files, which is the update file that would normally be pushed to your device from Google’s server. Note that in order to correctly install the update, your device must be running the firmware version mentioned in the link. OTA links via Android Police.
- Nexus 6 – not available yet
- Nexus Player – from 5.1.1 LMY48N to 6.0 MRA58K

Samsung Marshmallow updates
Like with previous versions, Samsung has not made any official announcements concerning the Android 6.0 updates for its smartphones and tablets. We do have however, some off the record information via SamMobile and T-Mobile.
The following devices are rumored to receive Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
- Galaxy S5
- Galaxy S5 LTE-A
- Galaxy S5 neo
- Galaxy S6
- Galaxy S6 Edge
- Galaxy S6 Edge+
- Galaxy Note 4
- Galaxy Note Edge
- Galaxy Note 5
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S2
These are all obvious candidates for an upgrade, so we’re pretty confident that Marshmallow will be available for most versions of these devices, sooner or later. As for what to expect from the update, Samsung has an infographic listing some of the features.
LG Marshmallow updates
LG has not made any announcements regarding the devices it will update to Marshmallow. T-Mobile’s update list mentions the LG G3, LG G4, and G4 Stylo, which are all obvious choices. Besides this, we can speculate that the recently announced V10 and the G Flex 2 will also be making the jump. We’re less optimistic about LG’s mid-rangers, including the Bello, Magna, Leon, and Spirit, though at least some of them can probably handle Marshmallow.
Motorola Marshmallow updates
Motorola has made a good name for itself in the Android community, thanks to its fast updates and focus on a smooth stock-like user experience. The Marshmallow rollout may change that positive perception though. It’s not that Motorola hasn’t been forthcoming about its plans; it’s the fact that those plans seemingly don’t include either version of the Moto E, the Moto X (2013), or some carrier versions of the Moto X (2014).
- 2015 Moto X Pure Edition (3rd gen)
- 2015 Moto X Style (3rd gen)
- 2015 Moto X Play
- 2015 Moto G (3rd gen)
- 2014 Moto X Pure Edition in the US (2nd gen)
- 2014 Moto X in Latin America, Europe and Asia (2nd gen)
- 2014 Moto G and Moto G with 4G LTE (2nd gen)
- DROID Turbo
- 2014 Moto MAXX
- 2014 Moto Turbo
- Nexus 6
HTC Marshmallow updates
HTC has revealed a tentative list of devices that will be updated to Android 6.0, and even a timeline. The One M8 and One M9 will see Marshmallow by the end of the year, while the other phones listed below will get the same treatment from early next year. Plus, HTC may launch one of the first non-Nexus phones running Marshmallow out of the box, the One A9.
- HTC One M9
- HTC One M8
- HTC One M9+
- HTC One E9+
- HTC One E9
- HTC One ME
- HTC One E8
- HTC One M8 EYE
- HTC Butterfly 3
- HTC Desire 826
- HTC Desire 820
- HTC Desire 816
Sony Marshmallow updates
Sony has published an exhaustive list of devices it plans to update to Marshmallow, including all the likely candidates, including the latest Xperia Z5 series. Unfortunately, Sony won’t bring Marshmallow to the 2013 Xperia Z1 and Z1 Compact, as well as the older Xperia Z. On the flip side, at least there are a few mid-rangers on the list. Sony has also released AOSP resources and binaries for some of its devices, allowing the community to easily create custom ROMs. As for the update itself, Sony is running a beta program with 10,000 users that we hope to learn more about soon.
- T Xperia Z5, Xperia Z5 Compact, and Xperia Z5 Premium
- Xperia Z4 Tablet
- Xperia Z3+, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact
- Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet
- Xperia M5, Xperia C5 Ultra, Xperia M4 Aqua and Xperia C4
Huawei Marshmallow updates
Huawei has a lousy record when it comes to releasing Android updates for its devices, but perhaps its involvement with the Nexus program will help nudge things along. Considering that the Mate 7, Huawei’s 2014 flagship, is yet to receive Lollipop, we wouldn’t hold our breath. That said, a rumor out of China suggests the Mate 7, P8, Honor 6 Plus and more devices will eventually see Android 6.0. We’ll update if any official info comes our way.
ZTE Marshmallow updates
Like Huawei, ZTE is known for not caring about Android updates. It remains to be seen if this year will be any different. ZTE is looking for a breakthrough in the Western markets with the Axon line, so perhaps the Chinese giant will deem it necessary to bring Marshmallow to it, at the least.
OnePlus Marshmallow updates
OnePlus is in a tricky place: its first phone, the One, still runs Cyanogen OS, and theoretically, Steve Kondik’s outfit should deliver the Marshmallow update in the following months. The OnePlus 2, meanwhile, runs OnePlus’s own OS, Oxygen, and its development is led by former members of the Paranoid Android team. Considering that the Oxygen OS team is still busy working on the current, Android 5-based release, the prospect of a Marshmallow release seems very remote.
Asus Marshmallow updates
All we have here is one sketchy rumor claiming Asus will bring Marshmallow to the Zenfone 2 series, including the Zenfone Laser, Deluxe, and Selfie. However, we wouldn’t put too much stock in it, as Asus is not known for fast updates.
Custom Marshmallow ROMs
When Android OEMs let us down, we all look up the developer community to pick up the slack, at least when it comes to Android updates. Unfortunately, the custom ROM scene is not as vibrant as it used to be, with only CyanogenMod left to carry the torch.
For now, we know that the CyanogenMod team has started working on the Marshmallow-based CM13, though we don’t have an official announcement yet.
Also keep an eye on independent developers – for instance, Dmitry Grinberg has come up with a working Marshmallow ROM for the Nexus 4.

OnePlus will help you get rid of that old, crusty Samsung with new trade-in offer
You have only had your new Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+ or Galaxy Note 5 for a few months at most now, but it probably feels like you are lugging around some out-of-date bag phone, right? OnePlus wants to help you out with the envy you must be feeling in being saddled with an older device as you look upon something shiny and new like the OnePlus 2 smartphone.
OnePlus has launched their new #TakeTheEdgeOff promotion for smartphone buyers who may regret pursuing The Next Big Thing these past few months and invested in a new device from Samsung. If you own one of Samsung’s flagships that launched in 2015, OnePlus will let you trade it in for a new OnePlus 2 and they will handle recycling your old Samsung device via a donation to the Hope Phones program.
Don’t think that just anyone can take advantage of this offer though. OnePlus probably anticipated smartphone users may be knocking their doors down to trade-in their latest Samsung devices to get a new OnePlus 2, so they are limiting this to a maximum of 50 winners who go through the process of signing up before the deadline on October 18th. Since those applying have to use the #TakeTheEdgeOff hashtag on social media, you can expect your timelines and feeds to explode with posts tagged in this manner.
If you really do want to try to trade-in your Samsung flagship smartphone for a OnePlus 2 64GB model in Sandstone Black, hit the source link for all the details and to submit the entry form.

Samsung keeps Tizen smartphone dreams alive with the Z3
Tizen leads something of a quiet life. The open-source OS championed by Samsung has received extra attention of late, being the platform of choice for the company’s sleek, new Gear S2 smartwatch. Tizen was originally expected to be a much bigger deal, though, reducing Samsung’s reliance on Android for all of its many, many smartphones. But after several years of development, only one Tizen-powered smartphone has actually made it to market: the low-end Samsung Z1, which launched earlier this year in India. More were promised, and it seems Samsung isn’t quite ready to send its Tizen mobile ambitions gently into that good night, today announcing the mid-range Z3.
“Designed specifically for the Indian market,” where Samsung shifted one million Z1s in the first six months after it launched, the Z3 offers a much-improved spec sheet. Still, with a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable storage, a 5-inch 720p Super AMOLED display and 8-/5-megapixel cameras, it’s not a flagship that’s going to put Tizen well and truly on the map. There’s also little chance of the Z3, which goes on sale this month for 8490 Rupees (roughly $130), ever making it out India, which appears to have become Samsung’s testbed for Tizen-based smartphones. Whether the company will ever make a serious case for Tizen smartphones remains to be seen, but for now the OS can take self-worth from all the other devices it’s the backbone of, including smartwatches, smart TVs and the odd digital camera.

Samsung announces the latest addition to the Tizen ecosystem, the Z3
It looks like earlier reports of an October announcement were right. Samsung has revealed the next addition to its Tizen Ecosystem, the Z3, and frankly, the design looks like a Galaxy Note 5 clone.
It has a 5-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, microSD support up to 128GB, a rear 8-megapixel camera, a front-facing 5-megapixel sensor, and a 2,600mAh battery. This particular device isn’t running Android. It’s actually running Samsung’s Tizen operating system.
There doesn’t seem to be many benefits of having a Tizen device over an Android so far. However, Samsung’s advertising software features like “Ultra Data Saving Mode” to minimize data usage and “Ultra Power Saving Mode” to keep the battery running for extended periods of time.
Again, no real benefit over Android, but Samsung’s Tizen OS is still fairly new, so it does have potential for the future. One thing’s for sure, Samsung’s done a great job at blurring the lines between its Tizen and Android smartphones.
The Samsung Z3 will be coming to the India market sometime this month in Gold, Black, and Silver for INR 8,490.

Tizen powered Samsung Z3 launches in India
After some indecision leading up to the Indian launch of its Z1 smartphone, Samsung has quickly followed up with a Tizen powered successor – the Samsung Z3. Again, the smartphone is making its début in India and is designed to cater to the value orientated segment of the market, but it does come with some notable hardware improvements over its predecessor.
Delving right on in to the hardware, the Samsung Z3 features a 5-inch HD (720p) Super AMOLED display, a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, complete with a microSD card slot for an extra 128GB of space, should you need it. The phone also comes with a 2,600mAh battery, an 8 megapixel rear camera and 5MP front camera, which both feature an f/2.2 aperture and are a notable upgrades over the Z1. Sadly, 4G LTE support is one major missing feature.
The redesigned phone visually now has a lot more in common with the mid-range Galaxy A series and Samsung has also opted for a curved edge on the back of the phone in a similar fashion to the Galaxy Note 5. There is also a metallic finish running around the edge of the smartphone, which looks rather nice.
The Z3 is powered by Samsung’s Tizen operating system and comes with a range of software features. The ‘Ultra Data Saving Mode’ that Samsung introduced with the Galaxy J2 makes its way over to the Z3. This option compresses data traffic by up to 40 percent to help in areas with poor data coverage. The phone’s ‘Ultra Power Saving Mode’ can be used to disable all but the most basic functions to increase battery life too. Samsung has also pre-loaded its ‘My Galaxy’ app onto the handset, which offers consumers various exclusive services, local deals, and entertainment content tailored to the Indian market.
The Samsung Z3 comes in a choice of black, gold and silver color optiopns. The handset will cost Rs. 8,490 ($130) and will go on sale later this month through Indian retailer Snapdeal. The Z3 is also rumored to be heading to Europe at some point, although official plans have not been announced.
TrendForce anticipates first annual decline in Samsung smartphone shipments
Samsung may still be the biggest player in the smartphone market, but after years of annual growth, increasing competition and swings in market preferences are beginning to take their toll on the company’s sales figures. Market researcher TrendForce is now anticipating that Samsung will see its first year-over-year decline in handset shipments in 2015.
However, analysts are only expecting a decline of 1 percent year on year, leaving the company with a still substantial 323.5 million handsets expected to ship this year. According to TrendForce, it is not Samsung’s high-end smartphones that are seeing a major dip in sales, but rather the company’s mid and low-range efforts that losing market share to cost effective Chinese competitors.
“Samsung has lost much of its shares in the low-end to mid-range markets to Chinese competitors,” – TrendForce
Samsung doesn’t make it into the top 5 brands in China and fast growing markets, such as India, have become increasingly competitive and price sensitive, full of cost effective handsets produced either locally or in China. However, efforts like the Samsung Z1 have apparently seen some success.
This report is somewhat at odds with recently analysis from IBK Securities Co. in Seoul, which suggests that sub $200 devices have contributed to a smartphone shipment increase for the company in the third quarter. Perhaps Samsung is in the midst of refining its inexpensive smartphone strategy, which is only now beginning to pay off later in the year.

A negative sales trend is reflected in Samsung’s quarterly financial statements, which have seen falling revenues from the company’s mobile division. It is not all bad news for Samsung this year though. The company is expected to post an operating profit of 7.3 trillion won ($6.3 billion) for Q3 2015, an 80 percent increase over the previous year. This is partly due to a large increase in semiconductor sales and favorable exchange rates.

Looking at the broader industry, Samsung is still expected to remain the dominant manufacturer in the industry, with a 24.6 percent share of the market in the third quarter. Apple remains in second on 13.7 percent, down from 15.4 percent, while Chinese company’s Huawei, Xiaomi and Lenovo fill up the rest of the top 5.
Xiaomi continues to make gains this year, somewhere in the 15 percent region, but will apparently miss out on its target to sell 100 million devices in 2015. Huawei appears to be this year’s big success story, with a 40 percent growth in sales YoY securing the company third place in global market share table.
Overall, smartphone shipments are up a healthy 9 percent from the second quarter, due in part to the early introduction of some new flagship smartphones. However, worries about market saturation, downwards price pressure and a generally weak global economy are leaving some to doubt the market’s true strength, which may not pick up again until the mid-point of 2016.
Save yourself money and get CHOETECH’s fast Wireless charging pad (Review)
As more devices are sold with Qi wireless charging built-in, like the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, S6, S6 Edge and so on, the need for wireless charging grows. Wireless charging is one of those features you have lived without since you have owned mobile phones, but once you go wireless it is really hard to go back. So for many of you who have wireless charging compatible devices, now is the time to give it a try.
Qualcomm’s Quick charge revolutionized charging last year as it drastically reduced charge times on our devices. With 15-30 minutes of charging many devices could go half a day without having to recharge again. Fast charging made wireless chargers a nice-to-have feature, because the ability to fast charge overruled the desire to wireless charge devices. Wireless chargers were just too slow.
Come 2015 and we now have access to fast wireless charging thanks to Samsung. That doesn’t mean you have to pay Samsung’s high prices though for their charger. CHOETECH is here to offer a high-quality alternative to fast wireless charging with their latest Wireless Charging Pad. This pad is currently compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge plus which have fast wireless charging as a feature, and it is also capable of standard wireless charging for other compatible devices. Lets check it out.
Design & Usage
Like all other CHOETECH accessories I have reviewed, the Fast Wireless Charger Pad is of the highest quality. It is a thin disk shape made from durable plastic and metal with a rubber ring on the bottom and top to prevent slippage on surfaces as well as creating a grip for your smartphone. This addition of these rubber rings may seem insignificant, but considering the Note 5 and S6 edge plus are made from glass, I really don’t want my devices slipping off my nightstand from simple bumps. Nothing would ruin my night more than seeing a crack in my Note 5.
CHOETECH also added green LED lights to the front of the charger to show when it is fast charging, and blue LED lights for when it is charging a device at standard speed. I know lights are just lights, but it is really cool. To top it off, CHOETECH included a light sensor which dims the LED lights as there is less light in the room in order not to disturb your sleep. And it doesn’t just turn the LED lights off, it actually dims the LED lights matching the light level in the room. For a third party device, I was thoroughly impressed.
The green LED lights weren’t your typical super bright green- they were more of a standard grass colored green(I apologize for my lack of color palette knowledge). I actually thought the choice of green was a nice change from the super bright LED’s that we are so used to these days. It looked rather sophisticated on my nightstand.
In order to take advantage of fast wireless charging you will need a Quick Charge 2.0 wall charger which CHOETECH provided me with and can be purchased from Amazon.com as a package saving you even more money.
I found this latest wireless charger from CHOETECH to be my favorite of all of the ones I have used so far. With every generation of product they just keep getting better.
Specs from Amazon.com
Fast Charge Wireless Charging Pad

Note 5/S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge Plus
Nexus 7 2nd Gen/Nexus 4/Nexus 5/Nexus 6

Note:
1.The Fast Charge feature is compatible with ONLY Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ models
2.QC 2.0 Adaptive Fast Charger is required for the fast charge wireless charging feature
Summary
I was shocked at how much I needed fast wireless charging in my life. Less waiting for charging is one of those things you get used to rather quickly. Having the CHOETECH Fast Wireless Charging Pad for my Note 5 made me realize it was time to give away the other wireless chargers in my household. From now on it is fast wireless charging or wall charging only. At $34.99 you can save yourself %50 by getting this charger versus Samsung’s official fast wireless charging pad. Add in the ability to not disturb my sleep with the ambient light sensor, I can see myself using this charger for a long time to come. If you’re interested in getting this charger head on over to Amazon.com.
