Sony Xperia device owners will indeed be getting a sweet taste of marshmallow.

Sony on Tuesday announced its rollout plans for Android 6.0 Marshmallow, indicating it will make Google's latest mobile operating system available on 14 different Xperia devices. That includes the new Xperia Z5, Xperia Z5 Compact, Xperia Z5 Premium, Xperia Z4 Tablet, Xperia Z3+, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia M5, Xperia C5 Ultra, Xperia M4 Aqua and Xperia C4.

At this point, however, we still don't know when that will happen. Sony reminded us all that its software rollouts are a "phased process," and that timing and availability will vary by market and mobile operator.

"We've been working hard to bring this major update to as many of our devices as possible, as quickly as we can," Sony said. "We're really excited about the new Sony features & functionality and the improvements we've made to the user experience — and we'll be sharing more soon."

The announcement comes after Google on Monday started rolling out Android 6.0 Marshmallow to Nexus devices, including the Nexus 5, 6, 7, 9, and Nexus Player.

Previewed at Google I/O and officially announced in August, Android 6.0 "is the sweetest, smartest Android version yet," Google Vice President of Android Product Management Brian Rakowski wrote in a blog post. The new mobile OS includes a feature called Now on Tap, which "stays on task alongside you, instantly pulling up relevant info and helping you get more done." Marshmallow also brings battery life improvements, more privacy and security controls, and easier device setup.

The new mobile OS will, of course, also come pre-loaded on the Nexus 6P and 5X, which are available for pre-order now via the Google Store, and will ship in late October. For more, check out Google's Marshmallow page.

Rolling out new versions of Android to older phones has long been an issue. The carriers are usually the ones that set the schedule, so someone with an Xperia on AT&T might get Marshmallow before an Xperia owner on Verizon, for example. Recently, phone makers like Samsung and LG promised to roll out monthly Android updates to cut down on this type of fragmentation, but HTC argued that that timeline might be unrealistic.
