Google released Android Marshmallow for Nexus devices just a few hours ago and now Android 6.0 is also available for the Android One phone. And Micromax Canvas A1 is the first one who will get this update. The good new is that most of the Micromax Canvas A1 Android One mobile user already get the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. If you are the Micromax Canvas A1 user and want to update your phone, then go to Settings > About Phone > System update and check for the update.
