Android 6.0 Marshmallow is slated to hit Samsung Galaxy Note 5 in December. However, it seems a T-Mobile Note 5 user gets an unexpected Marshmallow update. T-Mobile is generally prompt in rolling out updates and this indicates that the device will be getting the taste of Marshmallow soon.

Earlier reports revealed that Samsung is still in the process of testing Marshmallow. The T-Mobile user, who accidentally received the update, has been generous enough to share a detailed chain of screenshots of the new TouchWiz user interface on XDA forum.

The user mentioned on the forum that Marshmallow has improved the general look and feel of the device. It is faster, more responsive than Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. It is executing smoother transitions than ever. Thanks to the new animations, multitasking has been fascinating, reports Tech Times.

Here are the UI changes that users can expect from Marshmallow on Note 5:

  • A much cleaner UI with new animations.
  • Retains the similar look but with full customisation of the shortcut apps .
  • The user interface maintains that same green accents and abandoned the stock color palette of TouchWiz.
  • It is predominantly white retaining the same of the old tradition.
  • Settings have been sorted out to enhance user interface.
  • Changes in the notification panel are refreshing with a slight Material-like expansion.
  • Quick settings menu went through an overhaul – lost its S-Finder and Quick connect buttons and got it Edit button
  • The device will continuously notify the user for app permission
  • Better memory visualisation through constant monitoring of apps.
  • The file manager, calendar, clock and music app will see minor modifications in the user interface
  • The device will replace icons on the lock screen with prominent colours and with a "Swipe screen to unlock" note
