T-Mobile just began releasing the final Lollipop version to its Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6 units last September 10 and currently rolls out across the region. Even without the confirmation from the network, this means T-Mobile is heading towards the Android 6.0 Marshmallow software. The question now is: Will it release the mobile OS update when it goes out in public later this month?
Major mobile carriers in the United States including T-Mobile are reported on the verge preparing updates for Android 6.0 Marshmallow as it is set to release by the end of September. According to reports, T-Mobile is already ahead of the game preparing its native updates for apps and new features to incorporate with Samsung's and Google's own Android updates. However, there is no final word yet from the carrier if indeed it is releasing the update as soon as before this month ends.
On T-Mobile's support page, the carrier informed a breaking news about the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop release. Here's the current status of Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6 on T-Mobile.
