Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge finally gets the Marshmallow

While it's almost a year to the point of which the Marshmallow is released, as least it came. Users of Samsung's current flagship will be happy to know that some of the S6/S6 Edge users have begun getting the update to Android's latest operating system

It took Samsung quite some time but it should be worth it for those with the S6 Edge variant as apparently they packed in a few new features.


The Edge panel which used to be limited to 260-pixel width is now expanded to 550 pixels wide allowing for bigger items to be displayed. The expanded space now can accomadate nine Edge panels as well as both People Edge and Apps Edge.

Another new feature added is the task edge that gives you the ability to create actions shortcuts and a Quick Tools Edge to things like rulers, compass and flashlight.

If it seems to take up too much screen space, you can also customise it to suit your personal preference.

This is all apart from the cool new features available on Marshmallow that are Doze, a battery saving feature, Google Now On Tap, and better control over App permissions.

So keep hitting that Check for Updates now and comment below if you have gotten your Marshmallow as well as things that you're loving/hating the new OS.

Avast Mobile Security: you have to download this FREE anti-virus

With performance rivalling laptops now, it's no wonder hackers are targeting viruses for smartphones.

These virus-makers usually go for the platform with the most users and seeing that the smartphone user base is the one growing the fastest and is the biggest, this makes it a prime target.

For iOS there's usually not much threat as the OS is built tightly with high emphasis on security (for non-jailbroken iPhones). The reverse could be said for Android. Android is known for its open system that allows programmers to express their creativity, but this is also a double-edged sword as it also exposes their OS.

And the number of viruses for Android is higher, thus it's highly recommended for you to download an anti-virus from the Google Play Store (or other certified third party app store, such as the Amazon Appstore).

The next question would then be which anti-virus? There's paid ones but are those worth the money? Lately Avast has given a solution to that question as they have made their paid Anti-virus free! Yes all off the previously paid features are now free.

Before this you had to pay $2 a month or $20 a year for all the additional features. Not anymore. Features such as Privacy Advisor and App lock is given free.

Avast is also known to be an anti-virus with one of the best performance. Here's a review on it. Do download this one if you don't have an anti-virus installed on your android device. it's free anyway.
