S6 and S6 Edge firmware update.

viridis — Fri, 21 Aug 2015 17:19:06 GMT

Gives the features of s6 edge+ and the new style too.

Old..

New.

Also brings edge apps

And customising where the edge pull tab is

Also, such things as youtube broadcast, direct from camera.

Surround shot is also now available for those that wish to make 360° photos for the Gear VR.

Already available for XEU firmwares, rolling out soon for other UK csc's

Nothing available for my S6 - is this just an update for the edge?

viridis — Fri, 21 Aug 2015 18:28:12 GMT

Well the edge bit is but the styling and extras will go to normal s6.

No sign of the update here - is yours a sim free phone or o2 branded?

Unbranded.

Something to keep an eye open for then.

Didn't see that at the end of the original post - thanks for pointing it out!

Just had to look for this one,

UHQ upscaler is also present, similar to sonys DSEE found in the Xperia Z3 (then later Z2), this upscales mp3 audio to 24 bit for a richer sound.

In the Z3 it really worked and pulled me away from poweramp, hopefully samsungs is just as good.

I've already switched the app edge off. Found it more cumbersome to use than hitting the apps button and scrolling through the list.
