The Sony Xperia C5 Ultra begin to receive Android Marshmallow

One of the Android devices that attracted attention last year was the Sony Xperia Ultra C5, a model that was the choice of many users because its screen has dimensions of 6 inches, so it can be used both as a phone and as a tablet, so it can be considered as a "two in one". Well, there is good news for the owners of some of these devices.

And these are none other than all the variants, both Single SIM and Dual SIM, They are already beginning to receive a firmware update that includes Android 6.0 version inside (the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra was at 5.1, which was achieved in January). Therefore, the use of this phablet improves substantially since from now on users can manage permissions in a personalized way or take advantage of Doze.
