An early build of Marshmallow found on a T-Mobile branded Galaxy Note 5

Right off the heels of a leaked Samsung roadmap for Android 6.0, an XDA user with a Galaxy Note 5 on T-Mobile was found running an early build of Marshmallow for the device. Considering that the Galaxy Note 5 is rumored to get Android 6.0 this December, this early build could have some credibility to it.

The XDA user isn’t exactly sure how he received Marshmallow on his device, noting that it could’ve happened during the time that his IMEI number was lost, thus confusing the OTA system. The build number for the firmware is MRA58K.N920TUVU2DOK, and it seems to have many of the features found in Marshmallow (e.g. the new permissions features), implying this isn’t a hoax.

Being an early build, the phone’s cellular radio doesn’t work, but this does indicate that Marshmallow could be available before the end of this year, as was gathered with the aforementioned leaked software rollout document for many of Samsung’s Galaxy devices.

Keep in mind that nothing’s official until we hear something from Samsung or a carrier, but it’s certainly hard to not get excited of how close this could be to hitting many of Samsung’s latest devices. Anyone excited for Marshmallow?
