It’s implementation of TouchWiz UI infused Marshmallow is said to have a significantly improved performance and has features that won’t disappoint waiting users. One of the key changes on the upcoming update is that Samsung have tweak the user interface and one significant and the most noticeable feature that we’ll see is now fluid the UI will be.

To make things clear, our source SamMobile has added a video showing the smooth scrolling in action, you’ll see how the user interface seems to perform like butter with no noticeable lag or whatever. Even at this beta stage, Samsung has already done an impressive improvements on its implementation of Android 6.0.1 and since this is still in its beta stage, expect more changes on the UI when the update is finally available to users.
