Android Marshmallow update: Huawei
On October 28, Android Centralreported that Marshmallow beta testing will begin on the Honor 7 in around four weeks, according to Huawei exec Xi Zhao. This news makes it seem likely that Honor 7 users will also be the first Huawei customers to receive Marshmallow on a larger scale.
A tweet from the Indian Honor Twitter page confirms that Honor customers will begin receiving the latest Android update in February. It lists the Honor 4c, 4x, 6, 6 Plus and 7 as the devices set to receive the new OS.
Coming soon! Starting February 2016, we will be rolling out Android M to honor phones. pic.twitter.com/BN3gwPqs6g
— Honor India (@HiHonorIndia) November 1, 2015A tweet from Honor's US Twitter account suggests that Android 6.0 Marshmallow is on its way to the Honor 5X very soon but it failed to give any specific information. Keep your eyes peeled.
It's sweet. It's fluffy. And it's coming soon to Honor 5x. #YouReady? pic.twitter.com/uUI06QlMAm

Android 6.0 Marshmallow update: LG
After Google, LG was the first company to update one of its devices to Marshmallow. LG G4 users in Poland began receiving the update in October, but there were some technical difficulties and the test was halted. In late November, however, users across Europe began reporting that the Android Marshmallow update was beginning to arrive on their devices. You can check if your device is part of the rollout using LG Bridge, the company's PC sync software.
In November, LG made the Marshmallow update available to LG G4 owners in Korea, making the company's home nation the second to receive the update. The software was uploaded to LG's website, which enabled customers to apply the update via their computers.
T-Mobile lists the LG G3, LG G4 and LG G Stylo among those devices set to receive Android Marshmallow in the first wave of updates.
LG released Marshmallow for the V10 in Turkey. As this model is the international variant, it hopefully means a larger scale roll out won't be far behind.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow update: Motorola
David Schuster of Motorola used Google+ to announce that the Moto X (2014) and Moto X Pure Edition are beginning to see Marshmallow rolled out. Moto X (2014) owners in Brazil and Moto X Pure Edition owners in Brazil and India are the first to receive the update, with a global release set to take place gradually over the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for a notification regarding the update on your device could come along at any time.
Mr. Schuster continued to provide good news, announcing on April 26 that the Droid Turbo 2 on Verizon is now seeing a full roll out of the Marshmallow update.
Moto X Play owners in Brazil had previously reported beginning to receive the Marshmallow update, and now multipleusers in India are also beginning to see the update arrive on their devices.
Motorola has revealed its current list of Motorola phones that are in line for the update. The list is subject to change, and a timeline for the individual rollouts, beyond the Moto X and Moto X Pure Edition, has not yet been provided, but you should expect the most recent devices to get Marshmallow first.
In early December, Motorola added the Moto E (2015) to its list of devices set to receive Marshmallow, although only selected regions will receive the update. The US is excluded from the list. Find out more information from Motorola.
Schuster announced on December 8 that Marshmallow was beginning to rollout across Verizon, Sprint and USC.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for older devices
Your best bet for getting the Marshmallow experience on a device that isn't officially supported is a custom ROM. CyanogenMod is perhaps the most widely used and trusted ROM out there, and the team is working hard towards bringing CM 13, which is based on Android Marshmallow, to as many devices as possible.
CyanogenMod 13 first became available in the form of experimental nightly builds for the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6POnePlus One, Nexus 7, LG G4, Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, LG GPad 7.0, LG G3 (Verizon) and Moto X (2014).
The CM13 lineup has now expanded to include a host of LG handsets, including the G3 S, G3 Beat and G2 Mini. for the full selection, visit get.cm.
As with the first batch of devices, these are nightly builds, which means they will be slow and buggy, so use at your own risk.
These nightly builds are bound to be buggy and unreliable, so only indulge if you're an experienced ROM user, and please heed the advice on the CyanogenMod page regarding updating from previous CyanogenMod builds and other unofficial ROMs.
Also be sure to install the Marshmallow Gapps before flashing the ROM – otherwise, a full wipe of your device will be necessary.
More devices are expected to be added shortly, so keep checking back if you're in the market for a Marshmallowy ROM.
The advantages of the ROM over the official build of Marshmallow include more regular updates, additional features and support for many devices that are not set to receive the official update.
We'll update this page when the team issues further nightly builds and stable releases, so check back often.
Android update: OnePlus
OnePlus has been a little preoccupied with its own OS, OxygenOS, but a Tweet from co-founder Carl Pei reveals the company is almost finished with Marshmallow for the OnePlus One.
Marshmallow for the One is in the final testing stage. Can't give ETA as it depends on other parties, but should be very soon.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow update: Samsung
The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge began receiving Marshmallow on February 15. The rollout is ongoing with many devices yet to receive it, so remain patient if your device hasn't seen any Marshmallow yet. It's on its way. The announcement was made through the Samsung Newsroom.
Verizon Wireless released Android Marshmallow for the S6 and S6 Edge on April 1. The company released instructions for getting the update as well as some already released features of Android Marshmallow. You can view the update for Verizon customers here.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge began getting minor updates starting April 11. These brought touch features for the screen and adjustments to the camera settings. These updates will only come to certain regions.
As with all carrier updates, you need to remain patient. Not all Verizon customers will receive the update immediately. Some will get it sooner than others. If you don't already have automatic updates enabled you can quickly check if you have it. Just go to your Settings, tap About device hit Software update and tap Update now.
Samsung hasn't officially commented on its update schedule, but T-Mobile has listed its first wave of Android devices set to receive Android 6.0, including the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, with more sure to receive the update later. In addition, SamMobile has reported on a list of devices that Samsung has been testing Marshmallow on. The list is preliminary and subject to change, but gives a good indication of devices that are likely to receive the update:
There has been a series of leaks of Samsung's roadmap for the release of Marshmallow. The third and most recent of these timetables leaked in late January, and shows that Samsung has pushed back the release of Marshmallow again.
The Galaxy Note 5 Android Marshmallow update began rolling out on March 24 for Sprint customers. The completion of the rollout will conclude on April 8. Verizon and AT&T customers already started seeing this update at the beginning of March. This comes later than the original rumors discussed below, which gave us a date of February 2016.
The Galaxy Note Edge saw Marshmallow arrive in May, starting in the UK before spreading throughout Europe. This is good news for those still waiting in the US, as the update should be heading your way soon.
Both the first-gen Galaxy A5 and the Galaxy A5 (2016) have at least begun receiving Marshmallow. The original A5 is just seeing Marshmallow begin to roll out in Europe and South Africa, but more territories are sure to follow. The A5 (2016) saw the roll out begin in June and is, by now, widespread.
Samsung Galaxy S5 mini handsets have started receiving Android Marshmallow in Russia, ahead of a wider rollout.

Android update: Xiaomi
Xiaomi has confirmed that Marshmallow is on its way to the Mi 4 and Mi Note. A full release will be proceeded by a beta program, the success of which will determine how promptly the final software update goes out. The beta phase is expected to begin any day now.
There's no word on whether Marshmallow will be heading to any of Xiaomi's other devices, but at the very least you can expect to see the update come to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, Redmi 2, Redmi 2 Prime and Mi 4i at some point in the future.
