Sure, NTT DoCoMo might have received Marshmallow a week before everybody else, but you can take solace that they were also the Guinea pig in case something went wrong. With the Japanese launch running smoothly, Android 6.0 Marshmallow is now here globally for Xperia Z5 owners.

  At the time of writing, firmware build 32.1.A.1.163 is currently live across all variants of the Xperia Z5 

Sony is also bringing their latest Android build to the other models in the Z5 family though that rollout is appearing to be a bit slower.

 we are also starting to see the firmware seed for the Xperia Z5 Premium and Xperia Z5 Compact. 

More after the jump.

So what about STAMINA mode and microSD card support?

Sony has not included STAMINA mode within this update, although it is expected to bring it back in a later firmware update. Also, Sony looks like it is following other manufacturers and has not included adoptable storage within the update. This is a shame as it means you cannot use a microSD memory card to expand the phone’s internal storage.

This doesn’t mean you can’t use microSD on the Z5 but that it just can’t be treated as an extension of your internal memory. I’ll have more on this for you as further details trickle out.
