    Anonymous, 14 Jan 2016It was recently an update released, I do not know exactly when(in the last one month-two...). ... moreOk let me rephrase the question. Which version of Lollipop was your S5 upgraded to? You can find this information by going to 'Settings' then 'About Phone'.

        Y kiss, 08 Jan 2016I want to buy samsung s5 but the comment i saw make me confused.should i buy it or notI currently have the Galaxy s5 and love it. It has a better camera than the iPhone 6s and a better cpu. Its battery life also exceeds the 6s. Although its fingerprint scanner can be a little finicky at times and is a little less smooth, the other features it offers are unbeatable. I know people are saying that they are changing to iphone because of the camera and similar features but they are wrong. Galaxy s5 camera: 16 MP, f/2.2, 31mm, phase detection autofocus, LED flash. Apple 6s camera: 12 MP, f/2.2, 29mm, phase detection autofocus, dual-LED flash. Use the link for proof and specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_6s-7242.php (I used it for my grade 11 marketing summative when comparing models) Hope this helps

The retailer did not refund the money or replaced the unit, but sent to a mobile repair shop. After spending lots of money I am without the phone.The technician said this phone is not made for this country, so Samsung NZ will not take responsibility. strange. I have no idea about this. bad luck. certainly I have lost the interest in SAMSUNG now.

                              @Samsung: did you do that intentionally?

                              p.s: could I roll back this update? (I did the update in the beggining of 2016)

                                I bought this phone in June 2014 and still use it right now. Love the performance, beautiful display, battery life, quality of camera. Finger scanner much better after update to Lollipop 5.0. For me, S5 dust and water resistance help a lot especially when my kids play around with my S5. Good quality of glass screen even though so many times got dropped. So far the problems in S5 are lot of bloatware in apps and sometime getting hard to auto focus in camera.

                                      I have this phone. It is on lolipop 5.0
                                      My s5 is a Verizon device from USA and can't find update from my mobile setting I guess because I use it with another sim.
                                      and way I can find update available through Pc in Samsung kies
                                      Should I update it from there or not?
