The upgrade will incorporate a whole new slew of improvements from Marshmallow like improved app permissions,Google Now on Tap and Doze mode; as well as Samsung's very own additions such as support for blocking ads on its new Samsung browser, the all new Cross app and much more.
This latest roll out comes after the beta test Samsung program launched for the Marshmallow update on the Galaxy Note 5 handsets. The update is now available for SM-N920C models and is complemented by a build number of N920CXXU2BPB6.
