Samsung has been silent on Android updates from the time it made public the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of Android 6.0 Marshmallow to its devices in October 2015. However, recent reports are swinging regarding the Samsung's beta tests of Marshmallow's first software version to Galaxy S6 smartphones in the United States.

Samsung Galaxy S6 units are currently receiving a sweet surprise from the South Korean giant, as the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow has been release to the device since last week alongside Galaxy S6 Edge. Recent report from a tech site stated that Samsung has finally worked out in the lab the beta testing of the first update of Marshmallow.

The best test of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow is currently available only to Galaxy S6+ and S6 Edge. Aside from the original features and improvements brought by the Marshmallow launcher, the updated version will carry with it an improved set of emojis and a few expression additions, plus several bug fixes affecting the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, MMS, camera and more.

Additionally, Marshmallow also brings more quick settings toggles like a Private Mode on the status bar, more visible and noticeable icons on the notification panel, changes on how the phone vibrates like it will only do so when fingerprint fails to recognize log-in, and so many more.

Features part of the original set are Doze, a power saving mode; redesigned app drawer where new shortcuts are enabled; Google Now on Tap for smarter and quicker recommendations; minimalist volume controls; fingerprint and USB Type-C support; better app permissions; and so many others.

Beta versions of software are by nature larger in size. Hence, users interested to get an upgrade to Marshmallow beta are reminded to free up enough space for the new build.

Galaxy S6 owners are also reminded further that installation of the software comes at the holy hour in the morning, around 2 to 5 am. After the installation, the phone will restart itself and a full screen image of apps being updated will appear.
