This update comes when Android Marshmallow is just around the corner. Android Marshmallow is the moniker for Android 6.0 – the next major update from Google. Android 6.0 was announced earlier this year and Google is expected to reveal it in the coming weeks. We are likely to get a confirmed release date, at least for Nexus handsets, at Google’s event later this month.
