Interesting. Except, the day after it is released, everybody will be wondering when they will release 6.1☺

Or, when are they going to release Android 7 for my Samsung xxxx?

Any idea of what advantage this update might have?

Way too long for an update, considering it doesn't even have 5.1.1 yet. I'm most likely going to be dropping this tablet if the reviews of the Pixel C are good.

I'm content with mine so I'll wait for it. Samsung pretty much never speedily updates their tablets in my experience, but at least they eventually get updated.

Exactly.. And if it ain't broke don't fix it. Waiting is ok if it works fine now, the app optimization that came with the last update for the Tab s is kind of like Doze too 😆

Doze. Though that's not quite as a big deal since Wifi power drain < LTE power drain.

More importantly, SD as native storage if you have a 16gb model. Get a fast Samsung EVO+ card and you can use the 64gb seamlessly for Apps (without APPS2SD).

Even with what the OP posted, that may not be correct. I contacted Samsung through Twitter, and they responded:

I flashed marshmallow from a custom ROM on XDA and it was prey great except the camera isn't working yet. I tried an OTA update and got stuck with Google Play Services errors. I had to go back to CM 12.1 but an eagerly awaiting an official release.

MM on XDA is just perfect except cam. Even fingerprint scanner works now. Any chance that cam would be fixed with official 6.0 release?

It's still just the ending the first week of April. Historically the "month" has just been a guide. It may be a few more months before it lands on the wifi only versions.

If you've got a carrier 4g/LTE version, I wouldn't even hold your breath on an update at all.

I was thinking about the exact same thing 😁

Nothing on my WiFi only version.

I am on the verge of assuming that Samsung is now pulling the old Sony/Sony Ericsson, where if you wanted the new firmware, they told you to buy the newer model(s).

No news on the Tab S 10.5 still however the Tab S2 just got marshmallow about a week ago so hopefully we will get it soon. It is May now, so I guess we'll wait and see. It would help performance and battery life so it would be a nice improvement on what we already have. If anyone has any news, post it!

I just sent them a tweet -- again -- asking about the Tab S, and I mentioned that the TS2 just got 6.x.

Well, here is a reply from Samsung Canada, but it's safe to assume if any of the other Samsung accounts I tweeted to answer, it'll probably be the same exact thing:

You can see my original tweet that I sent on February 17th, and can be seen above.
