Does anyone know how far down the Samsung flagship range the marshmallow updates are going?

The S5 has had Marshmallow for months...

30th of March according to this article (so even longer than I thought):

Well I'm getting a second hand S5 in a couple of days and I have already downloaded a Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM branded with Three UK.

Hopefully this will get me the 800mhz "Super-voice" signal.

Sorry...I carelessly assumed this question was about Nougat! Must read more carefully!

Samsung do two years of updates and the S5 will not getting Nougat. The S4 stopped at Lollipop. The S5 will stop at Marshmallow.

I have a S5 on Three and didn't get Marshmallow until May. There can be lengthy delays in roll outs.

My initial thought was that it was about 3 months ago as well, which would have made it May-ish for me as well. I edited to be more vague after doing the Google search and seeing the article.
