Samsung has begun rolling out its latest Marshmallow software for the Galaxy S6 edge+, less than one week after it hit the Galaxy Note 5.

The upgrade packs almost identical changes and improvements — including features like Doze and Google Now on Tap — plus some nice enhancements for the edge display.
