The thing about updates for Android phones is that if you’re living in the US and you bought your phone from a carrier, you usually have to wait for Google to first release the update, then for the OEM to get on it, and then wait for the carrier to approve it before it makes its way to you. This is versus international/unlocked handsets where a lot of the steps are skipped.
If you’re a T-Mobile subscriber and you’re wondering when the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update will make its way to your Android handset, you might be pleased to learn that the carrier has recently published a list of devices (via TalkAndroid) that will be receiving the update. Now if you don’t see your device on that list, don’t worry.
According to T-Mobile’s wording, these are the handsets that are currently being prepped to receive the update. It is possible that your device will receive the update, but just at a later date, but chances are if you’re running some low-end, entry-level handset, don’t be surprised if your OEM or T-Mobile passes you over as is usually the case we’ve seen in the past.
In any case pretty much all the flagship handsets are listed including some of last year’s models, so if you’ve got one of them, you should be good to go. If you’d like to see the list, hit up T-Mobile’s website for the details.
