Android 6.0 Marshmallow is almost set to be released. As expected, Google has unveiled the final version of this operating system and will be released before the month ends.
As confirmed by Google on its blog, the search giant said that "Although the Android 6.0 SDK is final, the devices system images are still developer preview versions. The preview images are near final, but they are not intended for consumer use. Remember that when Android 6.0 Marshmallow launches to the public later this fall, you'll need to manually re-flash your device to a factory image to continue to receive consumer OTA updates for your Nexus device."
The software is now final and is in the hands of those who are subscribed to Google's Android Preview initiative. The Developer Preview of Android Marshmallow is now available to Nexus phones owners. Within the next few weeks, the official launching of the new Nexus 5 and 6 will be held, alongside the release of Google's newest OS. However, for those non-Nexus users, the Android Marshmallow will be on-hand until late 2015 or early 2016.
The Android Marshmallow will debut on September 29, as previously reported by VCPost. Google's 2015 Nexus event will also be held on that date, with the unveiling of LG Nexus 5X and Huawei Nexus. These latest Nexus smartphones are said to be the first device to receive the new build, and pre-orders will start on October 13.
In addition, the new software will be slightly different from the previous build, the Android Lollipop. The difference will be seen in the back end, which will be completely changed, making it more secure, power-efficient, and tighter.
The Android Pay will also be shipped inside the Android 6.0 Marshmallow. This might be the reason why a lot of Android handsets with fingerprint scanners will be out in the market for the coming months.
