Android Marshmallow is now rolling out to international variants of the Sony Xperia Z5 series. Sony Xperia Z3+ and Xperia Z4 Tablet are also getting the latest update.
According to Xperia Blog, the update comes with the firmware build 32.1.A.1.163 and includes the February security patch release from the search giant Google.
The Android 6.0 M update for the Xperia Z5 Compact and Xperia Z5 Premium has also been released as an OTA update, 9to5Google reported.
It is important to note that the latest update includes the 'Doze mode' feature and granular app permissions. However, it does not include the adoptable storage feature. It means that users will not be able to adopt a MicroSD card as internal storage in the devices.

Furthermore, there is a new camera interface, Direct Share and Xperia Messaging app.
