It is advised to connect the device to the WiFi as the update file size will be more than 500MB and could reach up to 1GB. Follow the instructions after the downloaded has finished.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 series was Samsung flagship for 2015, and it was the first series to introduce the curve display, before being fully utilized to its successors - the Galaxy S7 and the recently announced Galaxy S8 series. The Galaxy S6 series was first released running on Android 5.0.2 Lolipop and has been upgraded to Android 6.01 Marshmallow last year.

Being a premium device, and still a great smartphone to use, it is really great to see that Samsung did not just abandon the models which have brought revolution success to the tech company. On other news, Samsung has recently announced its new flagship the Galaxy S8 and S8+ today.
