Samsung officially announces the start of the update procedure to Android 6 Marshmallow dedicated to the Galaxy smartphone line. It starts from Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, models that occupy the upper part of the catalog (at least until the arrival of the new S7 expected at Mobile World Congress). The Korean manufacturer, simultaneously, announced that the update will be available soon for other models in the Galaxy line.
E 'right to point out that the timing is subject to change for the individual regions or determined by the role of national telephone operators. Formally, starting today (February 15) the wait to receive the update to Android 6 ends for owners of Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge; in essence it will take more time before finally bringing to an end the update procedure.
Upgrading the operating system is not the only innovation introduced with the update being distributed starting today. Samsung has in fact contained in a separate post on the official site the news aimed at the S6 Edge owners who value the curved display smartphone. First, Samsung has expanded the space reserved to the curved part of the panel, bringing it from 260 to 550 pixels, what allows to display more content and information (the feature can be activated at the user's discretion).
In this section, moreover, it is customizable by inserting up to nine panels, including People Edge and App Edge. People Edge allows you to group your favorite contacts and has been the subject of several changes: contact names and the panel includes, at the bottom, a shortcut to the settings are present. The stretchable panel to 550 pixels also allows you to enter up to a maximum of ten app in the App Edge, as well as entire folders. The new Tasks edge panel then lets you get at your tap shortcuts to apps and activities most frequently used (eg. Create an event with S Planner, set an alarm, compose a text message, etc.). The Quick panel tools, most recently, has a ruler, a compass and a torch, all reproduced by exploiting the extra surface of the curved display. The same panel management has been improved: the fixed tab through which you invoke the panels section can be modified by acting on location, size and transparency.
Expand, finally, a set of apps built using the SDK that allows to use the curved screen of S6 Edge: specifically, apps Yahoo! Finance, Yahoo! Sports and Yahoo! Weather, properly optimized for the display of information on corner of the display, you will find pre-installed as a result of the update to Android 6 Marshmallow.
Samsung is not limited, therefore, to propose slavishly an update of the operating system, but introduces new features that improve the user experience exploiting the strengths of its device. As recalled in the opening, to exploit the innovations described it was not until the completion of the deployment procedure that may take several days.
