The latest Android 6.0 is now on the roll and most tech companies are now moving to update their smartphones into the Marshmallow Operating System.

Google is considered as the first company to adapt Android Marshmallow, during the time when they released their latest phones-the LG Nexus 5X and Huawei Nexus 6P. Other companies as well have confirmed that they will be having the said OS as an update to their array of smartphones.

Following the lead of Google, Sony is one of the leading company that will adapt to the said OS. Androidpolice stated that the Xperia models that will be updated include the three versions of the Z5, the Z4, all the Z3 line series, the Z2, and the tablet versions of the aforementioned devices.
