Samsung today has announced that it is rolling out Android 6.0 Marshmallow globally to owners of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge smartphones, after initially being limited to South Korea and recent hints of an arrival to T-Mobile subscribers in Poland.
The company has confirmed that the new update will soon be landing on other Galaxy devices, but that each model will get a separate announcement as they put together a schedule with carriers according to market conditions. This means that owners of a carrier-locked device may have to wait a bit longer to receive the update.
Owners of the Galaxy S6 edge can look forward to significant improvements in usability with edge screen features, which Samsung has detailed here. The most noticeable change is the fact that the size of the 'apps edge' panel has been increased from 260 pixels to 550 pixels, allowing for more content to be displayed, as well as better readability.
