AT&T Galaxy Note 5 owners can check for OTA (Over-The-Air) update on device by going to—
Settings >> About phone >> System update.
Since the OTA roll-out is usually staged in phases, it will probably take a day or two to cover all the regions.
The main talking point of Android Marshmallow is the Doze power saving feature. Once activated, it will extend battery life by at least 30 percent, depending on the device's internal hardware.
