Strange enough, Nexus devices were not the first ones to receive Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. However, the Android One handsets that were the first ones to get Android 6.0.1 are still devices very close to Google's inner circle. Now, the time has come for the Nexus slates and handsets to get this update as well.
There also seems to be a reason for Google to deliver Android 6.0.1 to other devices before the Nexus family - Cherry Mobile Android G1 did not get the new emojis, apparently. As part of the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update for Nexus devices, Google delivered a very rich set of new emojis, as well as various security patches and performance tweaks. For now, the official sources only mentioned the emojis, but since this update counts as the security update for December as well, there has to be something more to it.
The update is already available for the Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Nexus Player, Nexus 7 (2013), and Nexus 9.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
