Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 update is expected to be released to Samsung Galaxy S5 soon. Network carriers AT&T, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Sprint and Verizon may release the update by April.
The Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow beta test had been conducted earlier and it had also been released to a selected group in Feb. It had also been released for a selected group of Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge users.
Samsung Galaxy S5 users can expect automatic notification regarding the upcoming update soon. After the update is installed, the device will restart and the updated apps can be seen.
Meanwhile the custom ROM update for Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 is available, according to Team Android. Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE devices, which have the model number G900F can upgrade to the latest version of the operating system. This ROM update is stable and has a smooth operation as well. It comes with numerous tweaks and custom features in addition to the original updated specs.
Android Marshmallow packs in numerous improvements over its predecessor. A major improvement over Android Lollipop is the inclusion of the support for USB Type-C connection port, according to BGR. It makes the charging really fast and it can be used any way up. It comes with the ability to charge a high-end device fully in just a couple of hours.
However, the brilliance of Adoptive Storage is another change, which Android Marshmallow gets in the device, as it does not treat the memory card as a separate storage space. Instead, the new OS allows the device to treat the memory card like the rest of the memory on the phone.
Meanwhile, Android Pay support is also one of the major attractions of Android Marshmallow. It allows the use to store his/her credit and debit card information in the smartphones, and then pay for goods and services wirelessly, quickly and securely. To make this feature more secure, the upgrade forces the device to use a virtual account number instead of the real account number of the user.
