Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge bite into Android Marshmallow

From CNET: If you're a Samsung Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge owner disgruntled that your expensive phone's software is a generation behind rivals, you'll be glad to hear the latest version of Google's Android is arriving.

Samsung said Monday it will update the two top-end phones to Android 6.0 Marshmallow software starting immediately and update some other Galaxy devices gradually as well. Exactly when you receive the update will depend on where you live and what carrier you subscribe to. Samsung did not say whether the supersized S6 Edge+ would also receive the update.

A major software upgrade such as this can make a stale smartphone feel shiny and new again, at least on the inside. Marshmallow brings a host of new features, including a redesigned app drawer, better battery life and more sophisticated Google Now integration to Android. The Marshmallow update, which Google announced in May 2015 and released in October with its own Nexus phones, is the biggest change to the software since October 2014.
