Samsung has already begun rolling out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update to some units of Galaxy Note outside the United States, while mobile carriers like Verizon has just released the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop to the device. With the spur of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow coming to some of Samsung phones for tests, Galaxy Note 4 must absolutely be heading over to the first Marshmallow versions as well.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is reportedly keeping its direction to the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow upgrade, as the official roll out of the biggest software Google has ever innovated already commenced in some European countries. After roughly six months of waiting for a major upgrade, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will finally experience Marshmallow. However, locked or versions under a mobile carrier will have to wait for a later date to receive it.
The schedule of release of Marshmallow to the device has recently been pegged in February 2016, which means Samsung dropped an earlier roll out than expected, a surprise to all Galaxy Note 4 owners who have been irked by overdue software updates.
Meanwhile, Verizon Wireless has just released yesterday the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop to its Galaxy Note 4. Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, although a minor update, made big controversy last year for overdue releases.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow will bring in security patches and an update emoji collection on top of new features and improvements, which includes Google's screen-off memo function which pioneered with Galaxy Note 5. This feature allows users to jot down bits of notes using the S Pen even when phone is in deep sleep.
Galaxy Note 5's air command menu will also be integrated with the software upgrade. This activates when the S Pen is removed from its slot for quick note taking. Taking along with it is the improved TouchWiz user interface.
Moreover, Marshmallow also offers improvements in contextual assistance, battery management, Android Runtime, connectivity, storage, app drawer, app links, device sharing, app permissions, and a lot more.
