Samsung has reportedly started rolling out the Android Marshmallow v6.0.1 update for the Galaxy S5 smartphone. According to Sammobile, the update has the firmware version G900IDDU1CPD1 and comes with the standard set of features included with Marshmallow, such as Google Now on Tap, Doze, improved app permissions and more. Users should soon be notified about the update’s availability. However, they can also manually check for the update by going into Settings > About Device > Software Update.
Samsung launched the Galaxy S5 back in 2014, and initially ran on Android Kitkat v4.4.2. The device came with a 5.1-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display, and IP67-certified water resistant body. By comparison, the new Samsung Galaxy S7 comes with IP68-certified water resistance. The Galaxy S5 isn’t the only smartphone that Samsung is updating to Marshmallow. Back in February, Samsung announced that it was rolling out the update for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. The update widened the edge panel from 260 pixels to 550 pixels, which enables more content to be displayed. It also shows contact names below user photographs, whereas earlier, it only showed a small photo icon. In addition, the Apps edge panel now allows users to add ten apps, instead of five.
