List of Smartphones Likely to Get Android 6.0 Marshmallow

On the 17^th of August, Google’s Android development team rolled out the 3^rd and final developer preview of Android M [Marshmallow / 6.0] along with the Android 6.0 SDK tools for developers. As always the preview release only came for the Nexus devices [5,6 & 9] . As is the case with all Android rollouts, the OS is probably going to be launched this fall along with 2 new Nexus devices [ rumoured to be LG’s Nexus 5 2015 aka Bullhead and Huawei Nexus aka Angler].
