Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge starts receiving Android Marshmallow update

Samsung has started rolling down the Android Marshmallow update to its Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in their home country of South Korean. It worth noting that unlike the previous accidental roll outs to the Galaxy Note 5, Note 4 and the S5; this one is an official update.

The Korean electronics giant had shared the Marshmallow update schedule for their range of devices back last year. Just to recall the Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and the Note 5 were the first in the list to receive the update. So it isn't quite a surprise to see the company rolling out the update now in Korea.

Apart from that the Fingerprint sensor of the device embedded within the home button can now be used for third party applications. It's however worth noting that the cosmetic changes to the UI are rather minimal.
