On the other hand, it is expected that Galaxy S5 will receive the Android Marshmallow update soon, but the release schedule of network carriers such US Cellular, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T is still unclear.
Network carrier T-Mobile has confirmed that it will roll out the Android Marshmallow update for Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5, Tab S2 and Note Edge; however, the exact release schedule is still unknown, but the rollout is expected to happen either in March or April. Other network carriers have not commented on the delay, and it is expected that they may jump directly to Andriod N.
In terms of design, Android Marshmallow is very similar to its predecessor, Android Lollipop. The Material Design language in the areas of the user interface might seem to be more pervasive than before, but the settings, notifications and navigation remain the same for Android Marshmallow, according to BGR.
One of the biggest changes in Android Marshmallow is the change in Google Now. It might seem to look same as before, but after the upgrade, Google Now is pre-baked into every area of the operating system. This means that it is more clever than before. Google Now's focus is not on being a digital assistant but to understand the user in a better way, according to GSM Arena.
