Samsung Galaxy series Android 6 Marhsmallow update roadmap: here is when you can expect it
We have now obtained information from a source familiar with Samsung's plans about the company's dates for the Android 6 Marshmallow update.
Good news is that all of last year's top Samsung phones should get updated to Android 6 by the end of March 2016, while last year's top Samsung phones will get updated in April and May. Samsung is even planning to update the Galaxy Alpha, a device released in late 2014, with the update for it coming in June 2016.
Here is the full list of top-priority Samsung phones due for update soon:
- Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - March 2016
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ - March 2016
- Samsung Galaxy S6 - March 2016
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge - March 2016
- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - April 2016
- Samsung Galaxy Note Edge - April 2016
- Samsung Galaxy S5 - May 2016
- Samsung Galaxy Alpha - June 2016
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8" - May 2016
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" - May 2016
Next on line are devices that are not considered flagships, but will still get the Android 6 update. The list only mentions one such phone, but the list is likely a bit longer than that:
- Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016) and others
With the Galaxy A7 (2016) listed for update, it's reasonable to expect the Galaxy A5 (2016), and other mid-rangers to get updated to Android 6 this summer.
