Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015 model) - Marshmallow update
I've just purchased a Samsung Galaxy J5 on Ebay (came with a two pin plug) and the software version is 5.1.1.
How do I update to Marshmallow 6.0.1? Software update says my software is up to date and won't pick up Marshmallow. My Kies3 software no longer works with the J5, and I am told to download Smartswitch however this doesn't update software. My phone is on Giff Gaff and I am using a Mac computer. Please help me. |

Sounds like it is a not of UK origin. Samsung are awful at rolling out updates and only started rolling it out in India in June (Marshmallow was released in October 2015) . You will need to find the country of origin and look on Sam Mobile to see where its being updated. Don't hold your breath.....
Go to Settings - About and you will find the model number and other technical information. http://www.gsmarena.com/original_sam...news-18825.php http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ http://www.samsungsfour.com/tutorial...imei-code.html |

The Galaxy A5 2016 has Marshmallow in some countries right now including India I think, but no news about the UK yet.
Samsung has way too many phones to keep track off. What's the main difference between the A5 and J5 then? |

They are completely different phones. The J5 is a budget model, the A5 is mid range.
