Google has rolled out an update for its official Camera app that brings a Marshmallow overhaul, complete with a new interface and new features. The release can be downloaded now from Google Play — but there is a catch.

Samsung’s upgrade plans for Android 6.0 have leaked out early, revealing when the company’s latest crop of smartphones and tablets can expect to receive Marshmallow.

The first device on its list is the Galaxy Note 5, which is scheduled to get its update next month — followed by the Galaxy S6 series in January. Unfortunately for those with a Galaxy Note 3 or a Galaxy S4, Lollipop was the end of the line.

With the push from carriers to switch to unsubsidized phone plans (meaning you pay for the full cost of your handset, instead of having it subsidized up front with the cost then hidden in your monthly bill), the entire deal landscape has changed.

That doesn’t mean you can’t find a good deal this Black Friday, though! There are several stores that are already hyping, and we’ve rounded up the best deals we’ve found so far on the latest Android smartphones.

Bid farewell to this Android feature on your Nexus 7.

Before upgrading your Nexus 7 to Android 6.0 Marshmallow, there’s something you should know: Google’s latest software update is removing the tethering and personal hotspot feature on all units without a cellular connection — and it’s not a mistake.
