Android N release news for Motorola, LG, Xiaomi, Samsung and others

Here is the Android N release news for Motorola, LG, Xiaomi, Samsung, HTC and Nexus.

At present, Android N preview is available for the Nexus handsets. According to a report from 9to5Google, non-Nexus devices may get the early preview of Android N in the next few weeks.

The beta program may spread to different devices, according to the developer website of Google.  

A Reddit user has found useful information from Android N Developer Preview website. The HTML text notes reveal that the Android N preview will become available in a variety of devices.

So far, a beta software has never been released to non-Nexus devices. It is because Nexus devices get the software directly from the search giant Google, instead of OEMs or carriers.

Now, several reports suggest that the Android N Developer Preview may become available to near-stock Android devices like the devices from Motorola. For mobile manufacturers such as Xiaomi, LG, Samsung and HTC, it is not known if their devices will have Android N beta software or not.

According to some reports, these phone manufacturers use their own user interface with loads of customization, and therefore, it is unlikely that Google may involve such devices.

Motorola's Moto X lineup may have the Android N Developer Preview in the next couple of weeks. The beta program of Android N is essential to fix system issues and bugs before releasing the firmware to the public.

Android N will have features such as Multi-window, Direct-reply notifications and Bundled notifications. Multi-window will allow users to work in split-screen mode on phones and tablets.

Meanwhile, the mobile carrier Sprint has rolled out the Android 6.0 update for Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport and Samsung Galaxy S5 through an OTA update.

Sprint began rolling out the update on April 7, with the rollout anticipated to be completed by May.
According to reports, the update will also contain security updates for Samsung as well as Google and bug fixes. The size of the update is 900 MB.

The mobile carrier has also released the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The update has a size of 1.4 GB and includes the March Android security patch.
