OnePlus 2 Marshmallow Update: Company Testing Android 6.0 Beta Build
The OnePlus 2 marshmallow update will be released in the first quarter of 2016 and will include the Marshmallow API for the fingerprint sensor.
OnePlus had announced few months ago that the OnePlus One, OnePlus 2 and the OnePlus X, will be receiving the Android 6.0 marshmallow update. Although, we’ve known this for a while, an estimated release date has now risen.
A post on Chinese social media site Weibo, reveals that OnePlus will soon be inviting fans to test a beta build on Android Marshmallow. Due to the message being posted on Weibo, the program is probably only for users in China.
The Chinese versions of the OnePlus handsets run Hydrogen OS, which doesn’t include the Google apps. Except the OnePlus One, that runs on Cyanogen OS. In the teaser image that OnePlus posted, with all the flat icons, you’ll see H2 OS written at the bottom. Also, not all OnePlus smartphone owners will be able to test the new marshmallow build.
To be eligible to test the beta marshmallow build, users would need to own the OnePlus 2. You’d also be available online for 30 hours a week, be willing to flash software updates twice a week and provide regular feedback and bug reports. Previous beta testing experience would be a plus. You can sign up using the source link.
Recently, the OnePlus 2 received Oxygen OS 2.2.0 update with several improvements and bug fixes. Oxygen OS is a slightly themed version of Android 5.1 Lollipop. It has all the goodness and speed of the stock Google Android experience, with added extra features.
The OnePlus 2, OnePlus X and the OnePlus One are most definitely getting the Android marshmallow update. However, the release date has still not been confirmed. The beta testing stage will last a month or two, after which the updates should start to roll out.
As OnePlus promised, all their devices will be updated to Android 6.0 marshmallow in the first quarter of 2016. First in line would be the OnePlus 2 marshmallow update, followed by OnePlus X and then the OnePlus One.
