A pair of the most popular Android phones are at long last getting updated to Marshmallow. And some newer Galaxy devices on AT&T are also joining the party with their turn at the latest security updates. Not to be left out is the Sprint model of the HTC 10, which gets a minor, but likely helpful, tweak to camera performance.

There were a few other small updates this week, so let’s get to them.
