Roughly six months late, AT&T updates Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge to Marshmallow
We get it, major software updates take time in the chaotic, loosely Google-governed, open-source mobile world.

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge on Verizon picks up Marshmallow update
With a more pronounced curve on one side of its screen than the S6 Edge, Edge+, and S7 Edge, as well as a straight left border, the road-opening Samsung Galaxy Note Edge was clearly meant as a limited aesthetic experiment.But a refreshingly large number of adventurous consumers were willing to experiment with it, so naturally, Samsung couldn’t abandon the ingenious 5.6-incher on either the KitKat or Lollipop island. Bizarrely enough, the

AT&T LG V10, Sprint Galaxy Note Edge and S5 Sport all jump on the Marshmallow bandwagon
Could we be looking at double-digit share for Android 6.0 in distribution numbers before long? You’d think it’s about time, with the first Marshmallow OTA packages available for Nexus devices as far back as October 2015, and build N inching closer and closer to its own release.Unfortunately, last we heard from Google, there were still less than 5 percent of the world’s Androids on the newest OS flavor, so getting to 10 might ...

First Marshmallow updates for Samsung phones reportedly ‘delayed’ for February

Samsung reportedly begins work on Marshmallow updates for eight phones
As always, Samsung stays tight-lipped regarding the state of internal development and customization of proprietary ports based on the newest Android version, despite many of its rivals recently tackling Marshmallow matters head-on.Obviously, that doesn’t mean a bunch of Galaxy phones don’t have 6.0 goodie packs very much on the way.

How Samsung can make the Edge Display more useful
A year ago we saw Samsung debut a device with an auxiliary curved display. The Galaxy Note Edge, along with the S6 edge that followed it intrigued many technology enthusiasts and regular people alike. Devices with curved displays on the side in a sea of rectangular cookie cutter devices are definitely refreshing, but I can’t help but feel like Samsung isn’t using these displays to their fullest potential. The Note Edge brought a few Edge Display features, but the S6 Edge Display experience was quite watered down in comparison.

Not every fingerprint sensor needs to be a button
Touch. Tap. Push. Prod. Swab. Stab. The button takes a lot of nonsense from its users. And also Benny Benassi and The Biz, but if I hear “push me and then just touch me” one more time, I might need a barbiturate. Anyways, people usually don’t give these things much credit for doing what they do and what engineers have made them do.It didn’t need to be a buttonTake the iPhone 5S with its home button.
