SOURCE:ANDROIDPIT We've known since mid-April that Samsung is working on bringing Android 5.1 Lollipop to the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, and it is finally rolling out over-the-air (OTA). Those with T-Mobile have already been enjoying Android 5.1.1 and Sprint is now rolling out Android 5.1 as well. Here's everything you need to know about the Galaxy S6 Android update.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 5.1.1 update
The Android 5.1.1. update has just started rolling out internationally. First seen in France, the Android 5.1.1 update also includes RAW support for the camera and lower ISO values. You'll only be able to make use of these features with a third-party camera app like Camera FV-5 and a gallery app that supports RAW images like Adobe's Lightroom, but the features are definitely there.
Sprint is rolling out Android 5.1 to the Samsung Galaxy S6, bringing it up to software version G920PVPU2B0F7. The update comes in at around 563 MB and brings with it some typical bug fixes.
Make sure your battery is charged to at least 50 percent before attempting to download and install the update, and check our Android 5.1 features page to see what else is included with the new software version.
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 update
T-Mobile was the first major carrier in the US to begin rolling out the Android 5.1.1 update, bringing devices up to baseband version G925TUVU1AOF6.
Among the improvements noted by T-Mobile is a fix for the "camera LED flashlight" issue. Whether this is the same Galaxy S6 camera problem we've encountered previously, we aren't entirely sure, but we're inclined to believe it is. You can expect some improvements to the fingerprint scanner, as well as various bug fixes, also.
One unexpected addition is RAW support for the camera, as discovered by XDA Developers. The 5.1.1 update also brings lower ISO settings.
Go into your device settings and to About phone > Software update to see if your handset is ready to be updated. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge owners should be due for the upgrade too.
Verizon Wireless has released an update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge bringing the device software up to version VVRU1AOD5. While this isn't the Android 5.1 update that many are eagerly awaiting, it does bring some minor tweaks and bug fixes. Among these are some changes to the layout of the HD Voice calling options, and a new drawing feature in the photo editor.
