The Android 6.0 update for the device will be released on the day of its launch in US and users will receive the update OTA. It has not been confirmed by Huawei whether they will make the device available in physical markets in U.S. at a future date.

The Sprint HTC one M8 was also supposed to receive the update sometime during the current week, however there has been no confirmation as of yet whether the device has actually started receiving the update. We realize not everyone will enjoy this format, and things are far from set in stone. There is always the option of flashing a custom ROM, of course, but that can lead to problems of its own, starting with a voided warranty.
It was first reported in November that Android 6.0 updates would hit devices such as the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ in late December, but as we stroll into late January, updates in the U.S. have yet to take place. Until now, there not even one carrier that was able to roll out Marshmallow to the device.
As usual, all reports remind users to be careful with how they prepare for the update, as it’s important to ensure that the device has a stable connection to the Internet and a properly charged battery.
Last but not least, Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 5, and Galaxy Note edge are expected to receive Android 6.0 Marshmallow updates in March or April.
Someone in France, this time, has received the Android 6.0.1 update OTA on their Galaxy S5 phone, which carries a model number of SM-G900F.

And when we say a Samsung software update has been “delayed”, we can’t exactly expect an apology from Samsung, as the company has never promised or guaranteed any type of update timeline.
