Samsung has already released the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in several global markets. However, there was no word of the roll out for the handsets tied to Canadian carriers.
According to a new report, several carriers in Canada are now rolling out the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
Canadian Carriers Rolling Out the Update
The report mentions that the first carriers to roll out the update are SaskTel, Eastlink, and Videotron. These carriers have already started the process, bringing the latest features and improvements of Android 6.0 Marshmallow to their users. Bell and Telus are expected to commence the roll out process in the next few days. Unfortunately, there’s no word about the variants tied to Rogers, but we’re hoping it will also get the update soon.
The Android 6.0 Marshmallow update brings a host of new features and improvements to the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Users can expect enhancements such as Doze mode for better battery management, Google Now on Tap for contextual information, and improved app permissions for better control over what data apps can access. Additionally, the update includes various bug fixes and performance improvements that should make the devices run more smoothly.
How to Get the Update
You can wait for the OTA (Over-The-Air) update to arrive on your handset, which can take a few days depending on your carrier and location. The OTA update process is straightforward and will notify you when the update is available for download. Simply follow the on-screen instructions to install the update.
Alternatively, you can manually check for the update from the Settings menu on your device. To do this, go to Settings > About device > Software update > Check for updates. If the update is available, you will be prompted to download and install it.
Another option is to use Samsung’s Smart Switch app, which allows you to connect your smartphone to your PC or Mac and manually download the update from your computer. This method can be faster if you don’t want to wait for the OTA update. To use Smart Switch, download and install the app on your computer, connect your Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge via USB, and follow the on-screen instructions to check for and install the update.
It’s always a good idea to back up your data before performing a software update. This ensures that you don’t lose any important information in case something goes wrong during the update process. You can use Samsung’s Smart Switch app to back up your data to your computer, or use cloud services like Google Drive or Samsung Cloud.
Let us know if you’ve received the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow update on your Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge. Share your experience with the new features and improvements, and let us know if you encounter any issues after the update.
The rollout of Android updates can sometimes be a slow process, especially when it involves multiple carriers and regions. However, it’s encouraging to see that Canadian carriers are now starting to deliver the latest software to their customers. This update not only brings new features but also ensures that the devices remain secure and up-to-date with the latest security patches.
