The app does show up on my Note 4 – which is running a stock Android 5.1 ROM instead of Samsung's default software – so it seems that device compatibility is the reason why Smart Switch failed to show up on my Nexus 6. Thankfully, the app did work after I manually installed it on the Nexus 6 using the APK file, but I'm sure there are many users out there that are switching over from a non-Samsung device and probably facing the same issue as I did.
The lack of expandable storage on the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge further accentuates the problem, so if you're among those that cannot find Smart Switch on their existing device, you can download the app's APK file and install it manually. It works without any issues and is safe to install, so go ahead and hit the link below to grab Smart Switch and truly make the switch to your shiny new Galaxy S6 device.
