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.
