14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung announced a few days ago it would kick off a beta program for Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but only in South Korea. However, it looks like the beta testing program has been expanded to other countries.
According to SamMobile, Android 6.0 Marshmallow beta update for Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge is now available for download in the UK.
It's unclear how many devices have been chosen by Samsung to receive this important update in the UK, but we can safely assume that not all Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge smartphones will receive it.
Those who somehow managed to enroll in the beta program should ready their handsets since the update is about 1.2GB in size.
RAW support and new animations have been added
The main improvement included in the update is the option to save images in RAW format, but also a new power menu.
Those lucky to have received the update on their phones also report the TouchWiz UI has been enhanced with many fluid animations and effects.
There's also a Pro mode in the camera application, which includes a new option that allows users to select the shutter speed for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.
A new option to customize lockscreen app shortcuts has been implemented as well, along with a new ability to add apps to a folder directly from within the folder.
Also worth mentioning as far as new features included in the update are concerned is Google Now On Tap, along with app permissions feature. Also, there's a new option that allows users to enable or disable fast charging. New colors for quick settings panel are also available.
Obviously, there are many new under-the-hood changes, which haven't been detailed by those who installed the update. The beta testing program will last until January 18, 2016, after which we should expect Android 6.0 Marshmallow to drop any moment.
