AT&T ZTE ZMax 2 gets updated to Android Marshmallow

AT&T today started rolling out an over-the-air software update for the ZTE ZMax 2, a handset released in the second half of 2015 with Android 5.1 Lollipop on board. The update brings Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow to the ZMax 2, also including Google's November security patch.

Weighing in at 1.1 GB, the Marshmallow update may not reach all AT&T ZTE Zmax 2 units today, but it should be available to everyone this week. Note that you must connect your phone to a Wi-Fi network in order to download the update. More details can be found at the source link below.

In case you're wondering, the ZTE ZMax 2 will almost surely not be updated to Android 7 Nougat, so this seems to be the last major software refresh that the device is getting.

AT&T is no longer selling new ZTE ZMax 2 phones, but it's still offering refurbished (certified "like new") units for just $59.99 outright. With Marshmallow on board, a ZMax 2 is not a bad handset for that kind of money, wouldn't you agree?
