Android 6.0.1 on Galaxy S6 and S6 edge brings slower, smoother scrolling in apps
Android has become a lot smoother in the last couple of years, but scrolling inside apps is still something that isn’t always as smooth as it should be, especially when compared to iOS. The same is the case on Samsung’s TouchWiz UX, but the Korean giant seems to have made a few changes to scrolling with the Android 6.0.1 beta for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, as scrolling inside apps is now smoother and also a bit slower.
Android’s scrolling might not be as smooth, but it has always been convenient for those who want to scroll through something quickly. iOS, on the other hand, keeps things at a set pace, which might be what helps it keep everything smooth. Samsung seems to have taken a leaf from Apple’s book and reduced the speed of scrolling on Android 6.0.1, though this now affects the speed with which you can flick through a list. It’s a trade-off – you can’t move up and down as quickly as before, but there’s very little chance of any stutter creeping up when you’re scrolling through something.
Check out the video below to see exactly what we mean; this is beta software so Samsung could change things with future updates. Let us know if you like what Samsung has done, or whether you think the company should have left things as they were.

When It Will Available For G925i Indian Version ??
i like it
Its fast with me anyway..well done Sam.
hi i have the update.zip but how to install it in recovery??
Well wait for it!Don’t risk to brick your phone…
It’s still much faster than on iOS, for those who haven’t actually tried already with the torchs and pitchforks.
I might have been rude in some comments but this is the truth for which I am sorry but why do you hate that samsung took some notes from ios???If samsung stuck on the same old way now people where going to be like ”Ahhh touchwiz is so slow and buggy ahhh samsung you are stupid”But now everything is so nice and awsome and fast!
Because some people are still stuck in 2011 when the Galaxy S2 was launched
there is no “final update” Things will keep improving steadily as they have done since the dawn of time.
Great change! It does not really mattter if it’s an iOS thing or something as most big players copy each other in such things. What matters is a good product for the consumer and smoother scrolling IS a good change.
why is it taking so long to release software update….the only positive aspect of Apple ios is how regular or fast software is released. I mean come on already how much months has it been…when can we expect update to S6 edge enough with the beta testing…..it’s irritating being constantly bombarded with little snippet concerning Marshmallow….enough with the mind games just release it….am also tempted to go back to Apple or any other alternative
I’d rather see a great Marshmallow build that took time to beta test than a half-assed one that was rushed out the door (looking at you, LG)
Search HTC software update process, and it is explained. So you think the time between the date Apple announce a new iOS and the date it releases it is the time they take to develop and test it? No.
What’s with all the whiners here? Samsung is actually trying the improve Android’s janky scrolling performance. Something that Googles hasn’t even completely fixed on Nexus devices. I swear, some of you just complain for no other reason than to complain.
Another bad copy from ios…
Near 7 introduced the Galaxy S and Galaxy S 6 update for Android 6 is not yet [ in Iran ]
Finally a smart person.Same here with the S6.
Lol. You know little about how scrolling works don’t you? You don’t even know there IS a benchmark for scrolling (through web pages, that is).
Okay, so having initially mocked my comment you then repeat exactly what my comment said… Come on, do people just do this for attention? And just to reiterate what I said, I said that it is not ALL to do with the underlying software or hardware, the blame is also on the developers. You then repeated my exact words. Please save my time and in fact, everyone’s time.
Is Samsung going to update my note 5 directly to 6.0.1? If not then why is there a 6.0.1 beta when even 6.0 isn’t released ??
The beta ends on the 18th
May I ask how you know this?
We dont know that but for sure they will update the note 5 to 6.0.1 not to 6.0 🙂
When is this BETA program going to end? And when is the Edge Plus going to receive the final update? LG and even Sony are far ahead, it’s an emberassment!
Ahh Sony hasn’t released 6.0
I don’t want apple stuff on my android phone. If samsung want to be an apple, i will have to change my phone. I want fast scrolling, and not ”smoothie” scrolling, why do they loose their time with such stupid useless ”update” …
It became a bit slower, and not like Apple’s implementation. So, it is a good change as Android phones need to be smoother (who disagrees with that, really). It’s not just called “Apple stuff” it’s an aspect that Apple is better at. It’s not black and white, and it’s not about choosing a football team and supporting everything it does. I am not saying you are a fanboy, for God’s sake I don’t even know you, but I want to make this clear to any readers coming across these comments.
