We're not complaining. Samsung made an awesome move this week by releasing a beta version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge in order to give users of the device a chance to test everything out. This will help the company make sure everything is prim and proper before globally rolling out the update sometime in the future.
But we can't help but think: Why hasn't the Galaxy Note 5 or Galaxy S6 edge+, which are the latest Samsung flagships available, gotten a beta test program as well? Furthermore, why are these devices not the first to receive a beta? They are newer, and are also priced higher than the S6 or S6 edge. The Note 5 might be available in limited markets, but the Galaxy S6 edge+ doesn't have the same problem.

Maybe Samsung is going on the fact that since all four devices carry similar hardware, testing the update on the S6 and S6 edge will make it quick and easier to bring the update to the Note 5 and S6 edge+ as well. Maybe, the Note 5 and S6 edge+ will join in on the fun in the coming days. We are not saying that it's wrong for Samsung to focus on smartphones that are not the latest, however – after all, every consumer deserves equal support, no matter when he or she buys a device or for what price.
So here's our question to you, SamMobile readers: Should Samsung have kicked off its software testing program with the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ instead of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, or at least included the two phablets in the initial phase? Let us know through the poll, and leave a comment with your thoughts!
