Android Marshmallow 6 on our Xperia Z5

Good Morning to You ALL !

This is our big day

Our most expected day

Android 6 MM has landed on our Xperia Z5

FW is 32.1.A.1.163, so it contains a lot of bugfixes with introduction of MM 6 Android 

Right now, is rolling for different models and on different countries so in few hours, or in one or two day, it will be on your phone, unless u're on a branded-operator phone where u should wait more days to come 

So, 7th March was right as we expected based on TWITTER INFO by Sony Xperia GB Winking_Face

More news to come !

I love Xperia but because of the lack of prompt updates, I will NEVER buy another xperia phone or tablet again. I don't care how ugly the Nexus phones are. I'll get one next time. You just lost me Sony.

@Tim77 memory and RAM are not the same. What you're checking is memory. In Marshmallow, RAM is in Developer Options> Running Services

The current OS on the Xperia's nothing wrong with it.
The mm will come eventually... Don't worry.
The phone it's good as is anyways.

Shkblaze what are you talking about I am referring to Ram it's the same thing. Plus it's not in developer options. Go to apps and slide across to running services.

I agree, for all that don't have it, it's more problems than it's worth so far for me - wish I had lollipop back 😞
