Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge Plus, S5 Android 6.0 Marshmallow software update details

Samsung has started rolling out Android 6.0 Marshmallow software update for its Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge smartphones. While communicating the development, Samsung revealed that it is also planning to roll out Android 6.0 software updates for other Galaxy smartphones by the end of Q2 2016.

Moreover, Samsung will likely issue separate statements on detailing software updates scheduled for its smartphones lineup based on the current market situation for upgradable models.
