Android Marshmallow is rolling out for T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Sprint and Verizon's Galaxy S5, and Note 4.
According to T-Mobile's support page, the Android Marshmallow update is rolling out for all users of Samsung Galaxy Note 5, with the version number N920TUVV2DPD1. The update is more than 1GB in size, so it is recommended to download it via the Wi-Fi network. The device should also be charged to more than 50 percent for a hassle-free download experience.
Other network carriers like AT&T and Verizon had released the update for Samsung Galaxy Note 5 earlier in March, according to GSM Arena. Sprint also started the rollout in March-end for Galaxy Note 5.
Meanwhile, network carriers Verizon and Spring have started the rollout for Samsung Galaxy S5. Sprint began their Android Marshmallow rollout for S5 users on April 7. The rollout will come to all users in a phased manner and will be complete by May 19.
The Android Marshmallow update is almost 1 GB and so users should only download it over a stable Wi-Fi network. Verizon has also started the rollout along with numerous patches, which fix the known bugs.
There is no confirmed word as to when the other carriers such as US Cellular, T-Mobile and AT&T will begin the rollout. It is rumored that in light of the other rollouts, it may start by the end of this month. Meanwhile, the update is also rolling out for all the Samsung Galaxy users in South Korea.
Android Marshmallow rollout for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 users is also on the horizon. The update is expected to kick off in South Korea and then to other regions. There are also rumors that it may be only available to those devices, which have the Exynos Chipset.
As, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with the Exynos Chipset was released in regions like Australia, India, Singapore and Europe. Hence, these regions will get to experience the update first. Other models of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 are also expected to get the update, though the release schedule is not confirmed.
