Google announced during its Nexus event in San Francisco Tuesday that Android 6.0 Marshmallow will start to roll out starting next week, during the beginning of October.

The update, which includes Android Pay, redesigned app permissions and Google Now on Tap, will be available for the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player. It also comes installed on the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P and forthcoming Google Pixel C tablet.

Stay tuned for details on when Android 6.0 will arrive on other, non-Google branded phones, as manufacturers will announce those details separately. If you have a flagship phone from 2015, like the Samsung Galaxy S6 or LG G4, there’s a good chance you’ll get the update.
