Android N for Nexus 6P?

[houtek]

I just bought a Nexus 6P. Love it. I know a new 2016 Nexus may be out in the near future. Is it reasonable to expect that Nexus 6P will get the Android N update, and if so, how long after the Nexus release? Thank you very much.

Yeah, the 6P will get Android N. Developer preview is already available. 2016 Nexus won't be released for at least another 6 months.

Depends on Google schedule for Android N marshmallow was released before the Nexus phones shipped last year

The 6P will likely get the Android N update on day one of its release. From what I've heard, Google's roadmap for Android N puts it at a late Q3 release, probably around September.

The 6P will without a doubt be getting Android N, and it will definitely be one of the first devices to do so. The only caveat that I would throw out there is that usually Android updates get pushed out gradually over a couple of weeks, not all at once. So while an update may come out days after an official announcement it could still take a while to actually receive it just due to the way Google pushes them out.

I have no doubt that the 6P will get N (and even O next year). Google seems to be pretty good about releasing the factory images for all phones at the same time so it should be pretty quick after the OS release date.

By the time Google releases Nutella for 6P, I'll have the next nexus by then.

Love that MultiWindow will finally make the cut.

The 6P will definitely get N and O, as every Nexus so far has gotten at least two years of updates. It's possible that it will go to whatever P is 3 years down the road.

Another important point: even when Google stops supporting the 6P, dev support is strong for any Nexus device so you'll be able to unlock the bootloader and flash a ROM on it.
