Although Android Marshmallow 6.0 updates will come in unspecified dates for various manufacturers, various devices have been confirmed to be receiving it when it becomes available for download.
According to G for Games, a support page shows that the fluffy firmware update is going to be released to three variants of the LG G4 and LG G3: The LG G4 F500S, F500K, and F500L; as well as the LG G3 F400S, F400K, and F400L.
Sadly, it will not be available for the LG G2 and LG G Flex 2, as there were no indications of the said units receiving the update. The recently revealed dual-screen LG V10, although pre-installed with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop at release, might get the Marshmallow after some time.

Taiwanese tech giant HTC, according to iDigital Times, will also have the firmware update on its devices, namely the HTC One M9 and HTC One M8, before the year closes. In its Twitter page, the company unveiled a list of all their devices that will have the download as well.
