I returned the phone and yesterday the replacement arrived. It looks
like a much more upmarket phone, but is running Android 5 rather than
6. I am still deciding what to do.

If you go to settings, then System, then Software Updates, you may find
it will allow you to update to a later one.


Been there, done that and last night it spent about 40 minutes doing an
update that included 2 restarts.

But it still says it's running Android 5.1.1.

It does seem to be old stock, but a slightly higher end phone. It seems
to work OK so far.

Id be asking/angling for something #better# than you bought (that
was recalled) not something that could be viewed as old stock
that they could never sell anyway (for the reasons you relate re
android versions)...
