From home-country South Korea, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update rolled out to several Galaxy S6 smartphones and Galaxy Note 5 in some regions across the world.
Canada's Telus, on the contrary, recently published the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow timeline for carrier-branded version of some devices from different OEMS. Based on the list, a report from GSM Arena revealed that the roll out schedule for Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5 was supposed to be as early as March 9. The Galaxy S6 Edge was supposed to get the update from March 16.
The update has allegedly been postponed due to some technical issues. As a result, the new roll out date of the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow for Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ is March 13. With regard to the Galaxy S6 Edge handset, Telus will now send out the OTA update on March 30.
Telus has not explained this delay, but hopefully, the Australian carrier will not postpone the upgrade even more. When it comes to the Galaxy S6 flagship, the carrier will roll out the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow on April 13. Apart from the Galaxy S6 and Note lineup, Telus will reportedly roll out the Android 6.0 update for Moto X Play and LG G3 on March 9 and March 16 respectively.
