Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Marshmallow Release Date

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Marshmallow roll out is underway and the update has already landed for several versions of the device including models in the United States.

Sprint was the first U.S. carrier to trot out its version of the Galaxy Note 4 Android 6.0.1 update. As expected, it was a large update both in terms of size (1GB+) and features.

The update has been rolling out since March 24th so it should be available for all Galaxy Note 4 users on the Now Network.

Owners of the U.S. Cellular Galaxy Note 4 will want to keep an out for the their version of the update. Those not looking to wait for the OTA can download the software via Samsung Kies for PC.

The Galaxy Note 4 Android 6.0.1 release date has also arrived in regions outside of the United States. Galaxy Note 4 users in India, Poland and Uzbekistan are reporting Galaxy Note 4 Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow roll outs.

The roll out is very limited at the moment but it usually takes a few weeks for Samsung’s OTAs to pick up speed.

Other Release Details

While we’ve seen a ton of early Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5 Marshmallow update confirmations, we haven’t seen nearly as many for the Galaxy Note 4.

T-Mobile’s confirmed a Galaxy Note 4 Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update but the upgrade remains in the development stage.

Before it’s released to the public it must enter T-Mobile testing, something that it hasn’t done yet. So, it could be several weeks before we see T-Mobile get its Galaxy Note 4 Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update out to its users.

A report from October suggests that Samsung is working on a Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Marshmallow update so we expect Big Red, and the remaining U.S. carriers, to roll out the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update at some point down the road.

Other vocal carriers in North America like Telus and Rogers in Canada remain silent about their plans for the Galaxy Note 4 Android 6.0.1 upgrade, a sign that their roll outs could be a few weeks away at least.

Look for these carriers, and more, to speak up about the Galaxy Note 4 Marshmallow update as we push deeper into the year. Look for others to stay silent.
