It’s 2016 and many Samsung Galaxy smartphone and tablet owners are still waiting for their Android Marshmallow update.
Its been more than four months since Google started rolling out its brand new Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system.
Some manufacturers were quick to release the new update and its changes. Others, like Samsung, have been extremely slow to release the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update.
In February, after weeks of rumors and several days of confusion, Samsung finally took a step in the right direction and we finally have some movement for multiple devices.

Telus in Canada is one of the first North American carriers to confirm specific dates for the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Marshmallow roll out.
After a series of delays, the Canadian carrier now says that its Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update will push on April 7th. It will apparently be followed by updates for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge on April 14th.
Fellow Canadian carrier Bell originally confirmed the Galaxy S6 Marshmallow update for March but it looks like it’s facing delays as well.
The company’s recently told a Galaxy S6 user that it’s hoping to have the Android 6.0.1 update released in April. No date given.
Canadian carriers have been known to push updates out alongside one another so there’s a chance Bell is shooting for a release in and around April 14th as well.

T-Mobile’s planning Android Marshmallow updates for the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge and the Galaxy S6 Edge+. Two of these updates, for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, have moved beyond the “Manufacturer Development” stage into the “T-Mobile Testing” phase meaning they’re getting closer.
T-Mobile’s Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update is still in the “Manufacturer Development” phase.
Samsung is reportedly planning Galaxy S6 updates for AT&T (we saw a date pop up for the Galaxy S6 though it came and went without an official release) and Verizon but details about those updates are still missing in action.
Vocal carriers like Rogers (Canada), Vodafone (Australia), Optus (Australia), and Telstra (Australia) continue to remain silent about their plans for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Marshmallow.
Marshmallow Features
Thanks to the roll outs and the Galaxy S6 Marshmallow beta, we know what the Marshmallow update will bring to the flagship devices.
As expected, Marshmallow brings changes to the update’s interface. The update replaces blue with white and it changes the look of several app icons.
The update also features the popular Google Now on Tap feature that allows you to quickly bring up information on whatever you’re looking at simply by holding down the home button. It’s one of our favorite Marshmallow features. The video above outlines the key features.
Samsung will be rolling out Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, the most up-to-date version of Marshmallow from Google.
The Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update brings a number of key changes to the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge including:
Additional quick settings toggles for Private Mode in the status bar.
New emoji characters (Android 6.0.1 brought more than 200 to Nexus users).
Improved visibility of notification panel icons.
If a fingerprint isn’t recognized, users will only get vibration feedback.
A new ‘Install overnight’ option that will install an update at night between 2 to 5 AM.
Samsung has detailed the changes coming to the Galaxy S6 Edge’s panel, some of which can be seen in galleries above.
