Previously, it had been reported that roadmap documents detailing South Korea-based Samsung's plans for an Android 6.0 update to its devices have surfaced online. Now, it seems that the company had adjusted its timetable, as another purported, even newer roadmap appeared.
According to Phone Arena, there have been new developments regarding the upcoming Android Marshmallow update for Samsung devices. In the newest roadmap that the website apparently obtained, the Galaxy S6 Edge+ will now have its update in January, instead of next month as it appeared on a leaked roadmap last week. The Galaxy Note 5, meanwhile, will still be updated as originally scheduled. The newest Note iteration will be updated to Android 6.0 in December.
Aside from the newest schedule leak, the December schedule for the Galaxy Note 5 is rumored to be already set in stone as seen by the most recent leaks of the Touchwiz interface on the Galaxy Note 5 already running Android 6.0.
Meanwhile, the newest Samsung schedule already reflects three phases of Android 6.0 updates for company devices. Previously, only two phases of the update were revealed, as it was reported that Samsung is still thinking which devices will make the jump to Marshmallow. The newest devices that were added to the Android 6.0 update roster include some of the Galaxy Tab iterations, such as the Galaxy Tab S 10.5. The other tablets, meanwhile, are still waiting for approval.
Although the tablets were already included on the list, the "waiting for approval" tag is not an assurance that the tablets will get a new update. The new list also includes Samsung devices that will not get the Android 6.0 platform, and have either a "cancelled" or "not approved" status. These include the Galaxy J1, the Galaxy Note 3, and the Galaxy S4.
However, the updated list is only for the OTA build of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Tech-savvy users can still check if their devices can make the Android 6.0 jump, much like how the Galaxy S4 can still be manually installed with the new platform, as reported by NeuroGadget.
