The Xperia Z2, Z3 and Z3 Compact will also get a taste of #Marshmallow By @VicenteA_George #Sony #Android

Last week we told you about the Xperia Z5, Z3+ and Z4 Tablet Marshmallow Update but back then we had no words if that update was coming for more members of the Z family.

During the weekend we received the news that is indeed coming to older models such as Xperia Z3, Z3 and Z3 Compact

The update will come in the form of a beta software through the Xperia Beta Program launched almost a month ago in countries like Italy, Spain and Netherlands.

The firmware version you’ll get is 23.5.A.0.486 which translate to Android 6.0.1 but although is a higher number than the one spotted a few days on newer hardware, this update just have the December 2015 security patches while the former have the ones from February 2016.

This version though is what we probably ended up getting with the corresponding security updates, as is practically the same experience we have with the Z5 .

We have it all! From the camera to the launcher, everything has been modify to match the Z5 counterpart. Also is worth notice that the STAMINA MODE was indeed removed and substituted by DOZE.

Also there’s no Adaptable Storage on this version either.

If you are one of the lucky ones with access to the update let us know your thoughts in the comment section below or join the conversation on twitter.

#Android “M” is Android Marshmallow by @Tiwaash #Android6

There were speculations all around when Google introduced the newest version of Android at its annual developer summit a few days back, the preview was known as ‘Android M’ and the company did not reveal what M stands for. Everyone were trying to coin, what the “M” stood for and whether it is going to be an overhaul to Android 5.0 or a major update!

Google has announced that the latest iteration of Android will be called as ‘Marshmallow’.

Google has released the finished version of Android 6.0 SDK and the software preview can be loaded on compatible Nexus smartphones. According to the company, the preview images are near final, but they are not intended for consumer use just yet.

If you flash the software preview on your devices right away then you have to manually re-flash your devices to a factory image to continue to receive consumer OTA updates for your Nexus device when Android 6.0 Marshmallow launches to the public later this fall.

Android Marshmallow comes with a slew of new features, but here are some of the notable ones –

  • Users now have more control over what information applications can use.
  • Integration of Android Pay mobile wallet platform.
  • Native support for USB Type-C and fingerprint sensors.

Stay tuned for more tech buzz.
