Vodafone Smart Ultra - Marshmallow 6.0

[irishfever1]

I'm wondering if the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 will receive the Marshmallow update, if it doesn't, I'm probably gonna go for a different phone option. Please let me know if you know it will or if it is in the making.

if i knowed Vodafone was not going to update to Marshmallow then i would have got Motorola Moto G 3rd gen (2015).
because Moto G is getting Android 6.0 Marshmallow update.

Dear Valued Customer ZTE, Thank you for contacting ZTE. Regarding your inquiry, we would recommend That You'd better contact your network operator or dealer to consult. Because the android is updated based on the demand of your location network operator or dealer, Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. I leave here the manufacturer's response

VDF-995NB01-PT_MR02a since this is the last approved version and ZTE is always saying that and vodafone should ask for this.

ZTE doesn't always bother to update its phones, so if you have one you may have to make do without Android Marshmallow, though the newer and higher profile it is the better your chances of getting the upcoming Android release.
