Samsung Galaxy A8-19

Samsung is doing a good job handing out marshmallows to its large collection of smartphones and tablets. With the big names out of the way, Samsung is now focusing on smaller devices, like the Galaxy A8.

The metallic mid-ranger is currently receiving Marshmallow in India, but users in other countries can expect the update as well.

The update for the Galaxy A8 (SM-A800F) weighs in a hefty 1112.27MB and brings all the under-the-hood changes you can expect from Marshmallow, like Google Now on Tap, granular permissions, and Doze mode. Here’s a full rundown of the changes coming to Android 6.0.

As always, you can just wait for the OTA notification, but checking the About Phone section on your phone or firing up Samsung’s PC companion software could help speed things along.
