According to Yibada, the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop has already been released by T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular in the U.S. for the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge users. However, other carriers like AT&T, Verizon and Sprint are yet to release Android 5.1.1 Lollipop for their S6 and S6 Edge users.

The arrival of Android 6.0 Marshmallow is getting closer. Therefore, rumors are suggesting that both handsets may directly receive the Android M update by skipping the Android 5.1 and Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. Both the flagships were released with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop in April this year.
