South Korea is the first country that gets the upgrade
Samsung has a strange way of delivering major Android updates. Although the South Korean company has already confirmed it has kicked off the rollout of Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, the upgrade hasn’t been released in too many countries.
Earlier this month, Samsung started to deploy Marshmallow for Galaxy Note 5, but once again, the rollout is nowhere near complete, as many owners are still waiting for the update to arrive on their phablets.
Today, SamMobile reports Samsung Galaxy S5 has just started to receive Android 6.0 Marshmallow update in South Korea. Naturally, Samsung hasn’t yet confirmed the availability of the upgrade and there’s no way to tell where Marshmallow for Galaxy S5 will go next.
Unlocked variants at LG U+ carrier
According to the source mentioned earlier, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow is now available for all unlocked versions of the Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900L) operating on LG U+ carrier.
If this is a limited release, then it will take a few weeks for Samsung to start deploying this to more countries. In any case, you might want to check your Galaxy S5 smartphone for a new update regardless of your location.
We’re almost in April and Samsung has yet to provide Android 6.0 Marshmallow to its previous flagship smartphones. By the time the South Korean company finishes with this particular update, Google might have already released Android N.
The good news is Samsung might come up with the first smartphone powered by Android N, the Galaxy Note 6, which is now expected to be unveiled in mid-July.
Some of the Samsung smartphones and tablets that have been confirmed for an Android 6.0 Marshmallow upgrade this year won’t get Android N, though, because they will be more than 2 years old. Let’s just hope that Samsung will provide Marshmallow to as many smartphones and tablets as possible.
