A Samsung Galaxy S5 owner received the update to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow yesterday, indicating that the official update could soon be ready to rollout.
The Korean tech giant only recently began offering Android 6.0 Marshmallow beta testing for the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge in the UK; however, beta testing for the new software isn’t available on any other Samsung device. That said, this update is a little strange, especially since there are no other reports of users getting it.
The owner of the Galaxy S5 did post a video to YouTube to showcase the new firmware:

There is some indication that this update could be fake. The Security Patch version is listed as “1 January 2016,” which shows that this firmware version either isn’t final or isn’t an official firmware version. Google hasn’t even released the January Monthly Security Update for its Nexus devices yet.
That said, it’s best to take all this with a grain of salt for now. However, the Galaxy Note 4 (in Hungary) has begun receiving Marshmallow before its successor. Could Galaxy S5 owners be in for the same treat in the near future?
