The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is not exactly an old handset, but then again, neither is it a new one, too, as it was released close to a year ago. In fact, the latest update for the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua last year saw the removal of bloatware (which is a good thing), and it seems that the lack of an Android 5.1 Lollipop update will be remedied through the introduction of the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update – a direct jump, skipping Lollipop in the process. Pretty neat, don’t you think so?
@KarCerKK Regarding your question the Xperia M4 Aqua will skip Android 5.1 and will receive Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).

Of course, when there was no mention of the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua receiving the Android 5.0 Lollipop update in the past year, suspicions were aroused that this particular device would then be on the receiving end of Android 6.0 Marshmallow in due time, and it will only be a matter of time so plenty of patience is required. Hence, it is nice to see the company confirm that via a tweet as you can see above.
The tweet was a response to a user query, and this means that there will be no need to go through two updates – first to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, before performing another to be updated to Marshmallow. However, Sony has continued to remain mum as to the date where the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update would be introduced for the handset.
