S-mobilepalace

Samsung has announced the kick-off of its Marshmallow update campaign on February 15. The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge were the only devices officially confirmed to receive the update, but the following devices are rumored to receive Android 6.0 Marshmallow:

Galaxy S5
Galaxy S5 LTE-A
Galaxy S5 neo
Galaxy S6
Galaxy S6 Edge
Galaxy S6 Edge+
Galaxy Note 4
Galaxy Note Edge
Galaxy Note 5
Samsung Galaxy Tab S2

These are all obvious candidates for an upgrade, so we’re pretty that Marshmallow will eventually become available for most versions of these devices.
