The update to software version 3.37.605.7 will bring all of Marshmallow's features that are specified above as well as Android Pay to the M9.
When it comes with receiving the update, Phone Arena reported that an OTA notification should arrive on the device at some point over the next day or so. After users have received the confirmation, they can proceed with the installation.
