Sketchy post suggests Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for Galaxy Note 4 is rolling out, with Note 5 S-Pen features in tow

File this under 'sketchy': One of NapiDroid's editors has apparently managed to get his hands on an early release of Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The Hungarian blog posted a number of screenshots showing some of the anticipated changes. Among them, the one which really stands out is the revamped selection of S-Pen tools.

What's unclear is how widespread this software release is or if it's genuine. A major update happening to land on an Android blogger's phone is a little too coincidental, and there's no knowing if other Note 4 users in the same country have seen it too. Perhaps it's blind luck, or perhaps it's been fabricated. There are no images of the actual device running the software, and the 'about phone' screenshot could quite easily have been altered to show the Galaxy Note 4's details.

As shown in the screenshots below, you'll notice the new multi-colored Air Command menu redesign, which comes in from the side of the screen, rather than floating on top. What's more, it looks like the Note 4 will also be receiving the Note 5's ability to scribble notes on the lock screen, even when it's in standby.

As well as that, we see one of Android Marshmallow's settings menu features, which shows when your device last received a monthly security update. In this case, the Note 4 received the December security patch. The screenshots also suggest we'll see a slight TouchWiz redesign, although the drop-down notifications/settings drawer is largely the same.
