BlackBerry today announced its only Android device is finally getting the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system. We fired up our BlackBerry Priv unit and indeed, the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update was waiting to be downloaded (it’s 1,111.4MB, so make sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi before you start).
BlackBerry adds that if you purchase a Priv from ShopBlackBerry.com today, it will ship with Marshmallow. The Canadian company adds that all major carriers offering the Priv will also include Marshmallow starting on May 3.
Earlier this month, BlackBerry launched an Android Marshmallow public beta program. At the time, the compay said the program would last between four and eight weeks. Apparently, three weeks was enough to determine the Marshmallow update was ready for prime time.
