Earlier this month, Sony announced exactly which devices would be getting an update to Android Marshmallow, but for many Sony owners something didn’t quite add up – most Xperia devices are currently on Android 5.0 and it was assumed that an Android 5.1 update was imminent, meaning the Marshmallow would still be many months away. Thankfully, that might not be the complete truth according to Sony’s support website which is now showing that Xperia devices will jump straight to Android Marshmallow from Android 5.0.
This includes devices like the Xperia Z3+, Xperia M4 Aqua, and Xperia C5 Ultra which just missed out launching with Android 5.1 as the Xperia Z5 range did. This news will likely relieve some owners who were worried that they would have to watch as the rest of the Android community got their Android Marshmallow updates before them. No doubt this is going to be a relatively common strategy for manufacturers who have many older devices still on Android 5.0.
