Android 6.0 Marshmallow Update Status For Galaxy Note 5, S6 Edge+, S6, S6 Edge, Note 4, Edge, S5, Alpha, A7, A5, A3, Galaxy Tab S2
The Android 6.0 Marshmallow OTA update has already been released by Samsung for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge smartphones. However, it is yet to rollout Android 6.0 update for other smartphones. Now, a newly leaked Marshmallow update roadmap has surfaced, revealing when would devices like S6 Edge+, Note 5, Note 4, Note Edge and other models would receive the software update.
Phone Arena has reported that the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ would start receiving the update from this month. The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge users outside the U.S. and South Korea would also be receiving the Marshmallow update in this month.
The Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge smartphones from 2014 are slated to get updated to Android 6.0 in the next month. The Samsung Galaxy S5 from 2014 would getting the Android 6.0 software in May 2016. The 8-inch and 9.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 would be upgraded to Android 6.0 in May 2016. The Galaxy Alpha would be updated to the latest Android software in June 2016.
After the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update is made available for flagship devices from Samsung, the software update would also be made available to other Galaxy devices. However, the publication has only mentioned that the Android 6.0 upgrade would be coming to Galaxy A7 (2016). It is likely that other A series smartphone from this year such as Galaxy A5 and A3 may receive the update later this year.
Samsung has recently launched the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge smartphones. Both come preloaded with Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS that is customized with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI. Recent rumors suggest that the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge that were made available for presale from Feb. 23 are smashing preorder records in 60 launch markets across the world.

Cat S60: World's first thermal imaging phone camera
"Everything in the universe either emits thermal energy or reflects thermal energy and the camera senses that and detects that and that's what it replicates on the screen," senior product manager at Bullitt, Pete Cunningham, told Reuters at MWC in Barcelona.
Cunningham envisages multiple uses for the camera, such as firefighters navigating a smoke-filled room to avoid fire or police officers being able to prove when a vehicle was last driven.
Although primarily aimed at tradespeople, Cunningham believes the feature will be incorporated in fifty percent of all smartphones within five years.
"If I want to buy a new house then I can go around and I can check to see whether there is damp patches around or whether the current owners have painted over and tried to hide any issues with leaks or damp patches, so that's another great example," he said. "Also silly things like I'm going into the bakers and getting the freshest bread, you can point the phone up and identify where the freshest bread is. Or I let my dog out in the evening and it's pitch black, so now I can find my dog without having to chase around and rummage in bushes."
Bullitt says the Cat S60 smartphone can withstand a fall onto concrete from a height of1.8 meters high without smashing and survive being five meters underwater for up to for an hour.

"In addition to being the world's first smartphone to integrate thermal imaging it's also the world's most waterproof phone," said Cunningham. "You can take this to depths of five meters waterproof. It's also designed to be dropped from 1.8 meters onto concrete without smashing, so there's lots of other rugged credentials that means we deliver it in this size. I think over time you'll see the ability to reduce the thickness of the device as well."
Cunningham told Reuters the phone enables users to capture the temperature of multiple points within a room at the same time. "You can capture the temperature of a point. We can do that at multiple points as well, so we can capture multiple points on the screen at the same time. The temperature range at the side of the screen gives you the minimum and maximum temperature in that scene at the time".

Revolutionary flexible smartphone allows users to feel the buzz by bending their apps
The world's first full-color, high-resolution and wireless flexible smartphone to combine multitouch with bend input has been developed by researchers.
"This represents a completely new way of physical interaction with flexible smartphones" says Roel Vertegaal (School of Computing), director of the Human Media Lab at Queen's University.
"When this smartphone is bent down on the right, pages flip through the fingers from right to left, just like they would in a book. More extreme bends speed up the page flips. Users can feel the sensation of the page moving through their fingertips via a detailed vibration of the phone. This allows eyes-free navigation, making it easier for users to keep track of where they are in a document."
ReFlex is based on a high definition 720p LG Display Flexible OLED touch screen powered by an Android 4.4 "KitKat" board mounted to the side of the display. Bend sensors behind the display sense the force with which a user bends the screen, which is made available to apps for use as input. ReFlex also features a voice coil that allows the phone to simulate forces and friction through highly detailed vibrations of the display. Combined with the passive force feedback felt when bending the display, this allows for a highly realistic simulation of physical forces when interacting with virtual objects.
"This allows for the most accurate physical simulation of interacting with virtual data possible on a smartphone today," says Dr. Vertegaal. "When a user plays the "Angry Birds" game with ReFlex, they bend the screen to stretch the sling shot. As the rubber band expands, users experience vibrations that simulate those of a real stretching rubber band. When released, the band snaps, sending a jolt through the phone and sending the bird flying across the screen."
Dr. Vertegaal thinks bendable, flexible smartphones will be in the hands of consumers within five years. Queen's researchers will unveil the ReFlex prototype at the tenth anniversary Conference on Tangible Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI) in Eindhoven, The Netherlands on February 17. The annual forum is the world's premier conference on tangible human-computer interaction.
