Alcatel Idol 3 Android Marshmallow update finally starting

Alcatel is still holding onto its Idol 4 series of phones that many Android and Windows 10 Mobile users have been looking forward to. In the meantime, if you own a more-than-year-old Idol 3, you’re finally getting Android Marshmallow starting today.

Alcatel actually tweeted out a video that we simply just cannot top.

We’re excited to share that Android M is available for unlocked IDOL 3 devices beginning today!https://t.co/Ml3dpOtH75

Did you unmute it? Unmute it and get back to us.

Yep.

Unfortunately, we’re only talking just unlocked 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch devices and not ones purchased through carriers, say, Cricket Wireless in the US. Will the wait go on? Or should those people just give up hope?

The answers don’t even soften the fact that this update was promised a couple weeks after the final images of Marshmallow came down.
