Android 6.0 rolls out for Galaxy A9, A5 and A7 to follow

Kevin Bruce Francisco

South Korean manufacturing giant Samsung has started rolling out its Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow to Galaxy A9 devices in China, SamMobile reports.

With the release of the beta-quality version of Android N, it just makes sense for Google to start seeding its Marshmallow software to compatible devices. The OTA (over-the-air) update with build number A9000ZCU1BPE2 comes with the usual Marshmallow niceties including Google Now on Tap and Doze. Although it initially started in China, we could safely expect the update to arrive soon and you could manually check your device by going to Settings > About Phone > Software Update.

Additionally, it’s also been reported that the A7 (2016) and A5 (2016) could be the next ones to receive the software update.

Google announced that Ara is coming to developers to check out and play with sometime this fall or around the Ber-months. Here’s a short video that shows the possibilities for a true modular smartphone.

According to Wired, about 30 people are already using Ara as their daily driver. That means it’s a real a working device. The Ara Developer Edition that will ship to devs is a 5.3-inch Android smartphone that is already a working computer (has a chipset, memory, etc) with six swappable modules at the back.

While devs can play with the device sooner this year, consumers will have to wait until 2017. Google are already in partner with Panasonic, TDK, iHealth, E Ink, Toshiba, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, and Samsung for the modules.

Having the Play Store on your Chromebook will further the productivity of your notebooks plus the ability of playing popular games. Just imagine Clash of Clans on a big screen and better controls. Since the apps from the Play Store are designed for smartphones, their could be some minor adjustments, but tablet apps should work pretty well.

The same apps that run on phones and tablets can now run on Chromebooks without compromising their speed, simplicity or security.

The update for the Chromebooks is first slated to arrive this June but with Acer Chromebook R11, Asus Chromebook Flip, and Google Chromebook Pixel (2015) only. Others have to wait for a later release. To check out if your device is listed, head over here.
