The process refers to obtaining and installing a newer iteration of the Android operating system, specifically version 6.0, also known as Marshmallow. This involves retrieving the necessary software package and executing its installation on a compatible device. For example, a user with an older phone running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) might seek this to benefit from the improvements offered in the subsequent release.
Gaining access to a more recent OS version can bring several advantages. These include enhanced security features, optimized performance, and access to newer application programming interfaces (APIs) which allow for improved application compatibility. Historically, these updates were critical for maintaining device security and ensuring continued support for popular applications as developers leveraged newer system functionalities.
