Great news for Alcatel Flash 2 fans/owners out there! After months of waiting for an update, Chan Jerry (Shadow), a Product Manager from Flash, has posted in Flash's Community website that there is now an available Marshmallow 1.7 upgrade for the Alcatel Flash 2 (now Flash 2 as the company separated from Alcatel).
What makes Flash 2 users excited is that the Android Marshmallow features a lot of things including the Google Now on Tap, Adopted Storage, Android Pay, System UI Tuner, clearer permission systems, improved copy & pasting, Doze for better battery saving and a new app drawer look. While Marshmallow is not a major update for Android, it includes a lot of better features than Kitkat.
