Can I update my Stylo 2 to Marshmellow?

[AC Question]

Yesterday i took the leap from iphone to andriod, went to walmart and bought the stylo 2 (Not plus)
The phone is hooked up through straight talk, i did research before buying the phone and trying to understand how andriod works. From what i understand 5.1.1 is lollipop and the newest software is marshmellow 6.0....and everytime i go to update it, sadly there is no update.
Will this phone be able to update? Or did i just make a HUGE mistake switching over?
Is there away to make it update?

Welcome to Android Central! Updates are dependent on the manufacturer as well as the carrier, if the phone is specific to that carrier. Straight Talk (and other MVNOs) tend to be less likely to push an update for their phones, and it looks like the Stylo 2 is no different: https://www.straighttalkwirelessforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=6796&t=1275117

I bought my stylo plus 2 from MetroPCS on March 12 and received a OTA software update to 6.1 marshmallow the following week.

I have my stylo 2 through boost mobile and I've been upgraded tip 7.0 nougat for a while now. Your lack of update must be because of your carrier. Nougat is a great os.
