Samsung has reportedly started rolling out the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update to the Galaxy S6 edge+ outside South Korea, giving a hint that other devices like the Galaxy J5, Galaxy J7, Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy A7 and others may receive it soon as well.

The South Korean technology giant has released the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update to the Galaxy S6 edge+ only in the home country until now.

The Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update has been seeded to the Galaxy S6 edge+ in Iraq, especially the ones with the model number SM-G928C, according to SamMobile. The report went on to say that the update file weighs over 1GB and the update takes the firmware version to G928CXXU2BPB8. 

The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge were the first devices to receive the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update, and it didn't come as a surprise as Samsung released the firmware beta programme to these devices for testing.
