In 2015, CloudFone launched the CloudPad One 7.0 and CloudPad One 8.0 tablets with a promise of guaranteed software updates for two years. Both devices run on Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box.
The company fulfilled its promise by releasing a software update on the second month of 2016 that upgrades the tablets to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. These are the first tablets to receive such update.

CloudPad One owners can check for the over-the-air software update by opening the Settings and navigating to About tablet › System updates › Check for update. Of course, a reliable internet connection is needed as well as enough battery power.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow introduces longer battery life among other under the hood improvements.
CloudFone deserves a commendation for staying true to its promise of software updates. Hopefully, other local brands are also like this.
