When will Zenfone 2 get Android 6 Marshmallow update?

With loads of new Android smartphones released and bought every month, people are wondering when will these devices get the latest Android 6 Marshmallow update. As always the Google, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, HTC and LG are the first manufacturers to roll out the latest updates. Manufacturers like Xiaomi, Huawei, Alcatel and ASUS are usually very slow in providing the latest system updates to its users. The ASUS Zenfone 2 is one of the bestselling mid-range phones of this year and it came shipped with Android 5.0 lollipop. It has been months since its release, but the Zenfone 2 hasn't even received the Lollipop 5.1 and 5.1.1 updates, and that has made a lot of users doubtful about whether they will ever receive the Marshmallow update. Here comes the good news. Gsmarena recently released a list of devices that are confirmed to receive the Marshmallow 6.0 and Zenfone is on that list.

Now that the Zenfone 2 is confirmed to get the Android 6 update, the question is when? ASUS has recently confirmed that the update would roll out on Q2 2016, but they haven't mentioned whether on at the beginning (April) or at the end (June) of the second quarter. Honestly, the large number of Zenfone users who were devoid of any Lollipop updates deserve an "early" release.


Only a few 2013 smarpthones are getting this update and most of the devices getting the Android 6 Marshmallow update are from 2014 and 2015.
