Android Marshmallow will be available for Android users by September 2015. Android M was first unveiled at Google I/O on May 28, 2015, with the Android “M” developer preview was released on May 28, 2015, for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 phones, the Nexus 9 tablet, and the Nexus Player set-top box, under the build number MPZ44Q. The Developer Preview 3 was released August 17, 2015 for Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player (MPA44G).
Android Marshmallow includes a new approach to app permissions , Google’s new Android Pay mobile wallet platform, USB Type-C support, and a number of tweaks and improvements throughout the operating system.
“The preview images are near final but they are not intended for consumer use,” Google said in a blog post. “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.”
