T-Mobile moved the Android Marshmallow firmware for the Galaxy S6 devices from the Manufacturer Development stage to its final certification process about two weeks ago and now the update is finally rolling out. After applying the update, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge will be loaded with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

The two Galaxy S6 flagships started to receive the firmware version G920TUVU3EPD1 and G925TUVU3EPD1 earlier today. This is a major update, so it is no surprise that its size matches the changes it brings - 1.2 GB. The changes are those one would expect from Marshmallow - Google Now on Tap, granular permissions, Doze mode, new emojis, as well as multiple minor fixes and tweaks, both visual and functional.

The update rolls out via OTA as usual, but can also be downloaded using Samsung Smart Switch. T-Mobile did not reveal all the details yet, but the update should include the security updates for April from Google as well.
