The Android 6.0 Marshmallow Developer Preview 3 is now readily available for Google Nexus smartphone and tablet owners to download. The DP3 build is a factory image. Installing a factory image on your Android device will wipe over any data and return it back to a factory state. Additionally, this is still labelled as a Developer Preview and not a final ROM release for marshmallow even though it does come under the marshmallow name. That means you will get some bugs and a ROM that’s not a smooth as the final product will eventually be. Developer Previews are usually reserved for just that: Developers.
The said new build is available for the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and the Android TV Nexus Player devices. As you probably know, these devices always come first for anything Android-related since they are owned and operated by Google. The earlier development builds are labeled as Android ‘M’ since we only just heard the official name last week which was evidently marshmallow.
