Recent leaks showed that Samsung will finally be rolling out the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow to Galaxy S6 phones in the United States as soon as February. Galaxy S6 owners can expect more than what many sites reported about the Marshmallow update.
Samsung Galaxy S6 phones are lucky enough to be chosen by the company to be the test device for Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow beta, aside from the fact that the update is the first ever version of the new build. While it is already widespread in the tech community that Galaxy S6 owners in the US will most likely receive the upgrade by February or March, there is so much in Marshmallow that can be expected more than meets the eye.
According to a report from Android Pit two weeks ago, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update will bring a remarkable "new look" to the TouchWiz interface on top of a long list of bug fixes. Qualified beta testers will also be able to report to Samsung errors and make suggestions for the build to become more user-friendly and functional.
Meanwhile, a tech site called the movement of the update to the device from January to February an "unfortunate change," as everyone was ready for it to come this month. Accordingly, Samsung might need more time to test the software which it also called a win-win situation for the update not to be compromised.
Last week, a Dutch consumer association planned to file a lawsuit against the device manufacturer for failing to update its phones. This prompted reports that Samsung must now be working out the update in their lab as fast as it could.
Additionally, Marshmallow also brings more quick settings toggles like a Private Mode on the status bar, more visible and noticeable icons on the notification panel, changes on how the phone vibrates like it will only do so when fingerprint fails to recognize log-in, and so many more.
