From the Lollipop, Google changed its Android updates policy to only release a new version of the system per year. This allowed the manufacturers could accelerate the launch of their firmware for its customers in a more agile way. With Marshmallow was no different. The new flavor of the little robot was unveiled in September and the Nexus line, as expected, was the first to rely on the news. Now, we see some companies, such as LG, start the update process with the G4. But Samsung does not intend to stay behind and is already testing an advanced build in several flagship of the company.
According to Android Geeks information, South Korea is working on Marshmallow for models Galaxy S5, Galaxy S6 , Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note 4 5. Of course, others as the S6 and S6 Edge Edge Plus are also in the company’s plans. But for now, these are the targets of the company. Last year the Galaxy S5 was the first to be upgraded to Lollipop. Thus, it was expected to see the same happen to the Galaxy S6, but the site believes that this time Samsung will release the update at the same time for their recent releases.
When will we see the news will be released? It is believed that Samsung will release a gradual, starting with his native land, as well as some countries usually chosen by it, such as Poland and Germany. It seems that the first builds will go out over the air this December. The globally update starts expected for 2016. So just do not expect to see the Marshmallow coming to your Galaxy before January.
What can we expect from the Samsung Marshmallow? In addition to several improvements in security, the company will also bring the news premiered by Google and which are mandatory for manufacturers without having to perform modifications. Among the new features we will see the new system permissions manager. Where device users will be able to block or grant access to the camera, microphone, contacts, and other hardware or software resources for each installed app. The goal is to better control what apps are on the device, better protecting the owner of the information. All this control is done after you install the Play Store application, but allows you to review the choices made and may change them later in the System Security menu.
We also have the Twelve feature that promises to improve the battery life of the Galaxy line smartphones. The novelty works thanks to an optimization in system that reduces the unit’s power consumption when it is not being used. According to Google, the feature can save 30% more battery with the screen off when compared with earlier versions of Android. This should bring a good gain for TouchWiz, offering considerably more autonomy to what we see today with Lollipop.
Finally, we can expect to see Samsung adding more bloatwares on their smartphones, as the company has been expanding partnerships with other segments, such as Microsoft. With this, we can only wait for the first update to be released to have details on all the news.
