Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Receiving Minor Update That Adds Battery Usage Optimization

As usual, the members of the Nexus line-up were the first to get the new update, but the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S5, and Galaxy Note 4 shouldn’t be that far either.

In addition to the limited spaces, the Android 6.0 Marshmallow concept from Sony was limited to several countries in Europe: Germany, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and the United Kingdom.

After completing the two major processes, the complete ROM will flash and the user can manually complete the update from there.

The smaller file is the transfer package from Android 4.4 KitKat to Android 5.1 Lollipop and it needs to be installed first to lay the foundation of the update. It’s also worth adding that since the jump to Marshmallow update is not as big as from KitKat to Lollipop, the South Koreans might start rolling out the new firmware sooner than December.

However, the HTC One M8 Eye is a device that features a quad-core Krait 400 processor clocked at 2.3 GHz which is backed by 2GB of RAM, with other words, the device is good enough to receive the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. Check to see if your mobile phone is on the list. But with all the updates flying around, chances are you will like it.

According to a PC-Tablet report, a beta version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow for Samsung Galaxy S6 is already ready but Samsung has not yet released the update on its Galaxy S6 handsets for testing.

If there is one thing we found odd about the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is that it comes with a smaller battery than its predecessor. Sony Xperia users are lucky they will be receiving the update. You can do this for individual apps or for all the apps.

Meanwhile, the next update to Android 5.1 Lollipop, known as the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, has incidentally arrived a few days ago over-the-air to last year’s flagship smartphone and phablet of Samsung in Canada. We are talking about UI tweaks and changes to fit the new granular app permissions system.

In fact, it’s likely that those in the US or elsewhere with a Huawei device will have to wait until sometime next year before the Android M OTA rollout hits their phones.

The focus is clearly on improving the performance and there are bunch of under-the-hood improvements to make everything work better
