Will Samsung support Google's fingerprint API from Marshmallow?

Question

Is there any information available on whether Samsung's Marshmallow update will use Google's new fingerprint API or keep to using their custom SDK or both?

I see that they have started rolling updates to beta testers, but these are not available in my country and I cannot find other information.

Answer 1

From samsung developer forum, someone did try the android fingerprint api with samsung galaxy s7 edge. and it works!

Answer 2

The S7 supports both Android M fingerprint API and Samsung's Pass SDK.

S5 and Note4 don't support the Android M API, as indicated in post1 and post2..

Not sure about S6
