Right now, we’re looking at Marshmallow update being bestowed on Galaxy S5 sets in Kazakhstan, model no. SM-G900H to be exact, where build G900HXXU1CPE6 is what you need to install to upgrade your Galaxy S5 to Android 6.0. Mind you, there was no Android 5.1 update for G900H model no. devices, so it’s definitely pretty big update and deal for user of G900H sets.

If you are using a Galaxy S5 with model no. G900H, then be sure to check into Settings app, and look for a system update to manually upgrade the device to Marshmallow now.
