[VIDEO] Android 6.0 beta seeding to Galaxy S6 and S6 edge in the UK

What do you know - the Marshmallow beta for the Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 edge that was supposed to be exclusive to South Korea, has started rolling out in the UK as well. The TouchWiz-zed Android 6.0 firmware comes in the form of a 1.2GB download and brings quite a few changes.

The RAW image capture, which was rumored for previous updates is now finally a reality, as well as the option to manually select a shutter speed. Adding apps to a folder is now possible from within the folder and lockscreen shortcuts are no longer limited to camera and dialer and can now be customized.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow beta on the Galaxy S6 edge

The power menu has changed from the small pop-up window it used to be for ages to a row of icons on a blurred background. And now that we've mentioned power, the update brings back the option to disable fast charging, if you're particularly concerned about your battery's health.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow beta on the Galaxy S6 edge

A redesign of the notification shade marks the departure from Lollipop, much like the blue/green combo introduced us to it. The new color scheme was featured in an earlier Samsung Marshmallow leak, and people seemed to believe it was fake on those grounds alone - well, apparently it's the real deal.

Leaked roadmap shows Samsung devices getting Android Marshmallow in December

Android Marshmallow is still trickling out to devices. The roll-out has been slow, but more and more devices are getting a taste of Marshmallow every day. A leaked document suggests that Samsung will start updating their top devices very soon. According to the chart, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 andSamsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus will get Marshmallow next month.

In the following month (January), the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge will get the update, followed by the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Samsung Galaxy Note Edge in February. TheSamsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Alpha are listed in the “Phase 1” roll-out, but still waiting for approval.

“Phase 2” of the roll-out includes a bunch of older and less popular devices, like the Galaxy A8, A7, A5, A3, E7, and E5. These devices will likely be looking at Q2 of 2016 before they get updated. The good news is Samsung will be updating their top devices in the next couple of months. We would like to see the Galaxy S6 be included in the first month, but January is better than nothing.

iPhone 6S plus still can't beat the Galaxy S6 edge plus or LG G4 in a camera shootout (VIDEO)

Camera shootout: iPhone 6S vs. Galaxy S6 vs. LG G4 - fantastic video


Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or consciously skip past any Apple related news), you’d know that today is iPhone Launch Day. With the Apple iPhone 6S and 6S Plus officially hitting stores today, you’ll be up to your ears in reviews, comparisons, and drop tests. The internet is full of them right now. Given that Apple made a big deal about the new camera tech inside the iPhone 6S (it now comes with a higher resolution 12MP camera among other improvements), sites are putting Apple’s claims to the test with head-to-head battles against some of Android’s greatest.

In years past, this would have ended in a massacre, with the iPhone always winning top honors. But things have changed this year. Android OEMs have finally stepped up (with the exception of HTC, of course), creating a blend of camera software and hardware working together to deliver superior results than even Apple’s long standing iPhone line. With the new iPhone, you’re probably wondering if Apple was finally able to reclaim their crown, or will it continue fall short when compared against heavyweights like the Samsung Galaxy S6 and LG G4? In The Verge’s latest video, they took all 3 of these aforementioned phones out on the town, comparing photo quality in a dark room and discussing the results.

We know, typically The Verge’s blatant Apple bias creeps into reviews like this, but this one seemed a little more objective than most (despite them calling it a tie when it seemed to us the Galaxy S6 was the clear winner in most cases). Be all that as it may, their final ruling was that all of them are great in their own respects, it just comes down to personal preference on which output you prefer. Maybe they just didn’t want to believe that their $750 investment didn’t quite live up to Apple’s promises. We’ll let you decide for yourself in the video down below.

Samsung Galaxy Note5, S6, S6 edge and S6 edge+ might soon get a major update - Android 6.0?

With Google getting ready to launch Android 6.0  as soon as next week - when two new Nexus smartphones are expected to make their official debut - major Android handset makers are likely already planning updates to the latest version of the OS.
Or at least this seems to be the case with Samsung.

According to SamMobile, Samsung is currently working on a "major" software update for its Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+, and Galaxy Note5. Since all four handsets already run Android Lollipop, this major update will probably bring Android 6.0 Marshmallow to all of them (though for now SamMobile can't confirm this). Of course, the update might also be related to changes that won't necessarily bring Android 6.0, though it makes sense for us to expect all of Samsung's latest high-end smartphones to get Marshmallow sometime soon.

In related news, it's said that the Galaxy Note 4 will also be updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which isn't exactly surprising. It's not clear if the Note 4 will get Marshmallow at the same time with the newer high-end Galaxies, but let's wait and see what happens, okay?
