Phone Arena noted that the Lenovo K3 Note is expected to receive the update in March 2016, together with the Chinese versions of the Vibe X3 and the domestic Vibe P1. In April 2016, Android 6.0 Marshmallow will arrive in the Chinese version of the K3 Note as well as the international version of the Lenovo A7000. In May, the international versions of the Lenovo Vibe X3 an Vibe P1 will also receive the new update. In June, the international version of the Vibe S1 will get the update, followed by the international models of the Vibe X3 and A7000+ in July 2016.
Realty Today revealed that the Lenovo Vibe S1 is currently running on the Android 5.0 Lollipop, while the P1 operates on the Android 5.1 Lollipop. Lenovo made an official state that the smartphones with a personalized version of the operators or those that are under contracts will not be getting any Android updates.
In the meantime, other brands like Samsung, Sony, HTC and Huawei already had several of their devices updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. There are reports that Google’s newest mobile OS is already available on 0.3 percent of all Android smartphones.
