The list, which comes from a source in China, has hit the web on Monday and indicated that the Marshmallow software update will be distributed to devices in two batches. Understandably, the batch to get the Android 6.0 upgrade first will be the most recent high-end flagship models from big manufacturers such as the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 from Samsung, along with the LG G4 and One M9 from LG and HTC, respectively. Check out the leaked Android 6.0 Marshmallow update plan below.

If the information provided by the list turns out to be accurate, it means that older but still popular models like the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4 will not updated to Marshmallow. Recent Samsung handsets notably excluded are the Galaxy Note 4 Duos and Galaxy S6 Duos. Interestingly, the three models from Sony's new Xperia Z5 lineup is also absent from the list, although the Japanese device maker already mentioned that its Z5 trio will be in line for the Android 6.0 update.
