The post Verizon brings OTA Marshmallow to OG Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 appeared first on Pocketnow.
Maybe to better appreciate the software support efforts of a few unjustly criticized Android device manufacturers, false alarms like the one issued in Netherlands earlier this week are needed.It turns out Samsung never planned to leave the summer 2014-released high-end Galaxy Tab S stranded on a desert Lollipop island, already sending over-the-air Marshmallow goodies to the LTE-enabled 10.5-inch variant in Germany.Would the rollout have ...
