I'm forced to believe that prior to any unveilingredients of another flagship samsung or these OEMs send out performance-restricting and batterylower calibrated update to it's previous flagships, for the reasons that when you update it months later and see that the performance and battery status are worsening ( compared to when it came out fresh with the previous os an example is the perfect galaxy s3 i9300) you will be forced psychologically to to buy the newer flagship.

RBK20790, 21 Dec 2015i faced heating problem with my S5 any solution for this ?..Samsung Galaxy S5’s turn now to get Google’s latest security patch for a critical vulnerability recently detected in Android OS. Samsung is rolling out an OTA software update for Galaxy S5 (and some other Android phones) which contains this security bug-fix. The update is just over 214 MB in size for unlocked International variant of Galaxy S5 (SM-G900H) here in India. The firmware carries the build-date as December 8 but the Android version still remains 5.0 Lollipop. As for the change-log, here are the official “Update details”
ALERT: Patch for critical security vulnerability
Battery life has been optimized
Overall device performance has been improved
The security of your device has been improved
After updating you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy
A new line under “About device” menu can be seen after the update which shows the build date of “Android security patch level”. Thus this update mainly patches the security bugs in Android which can be exploited by hackers to remotely run malicious codes and take over the device without any user interaction. Being a critical System OS update, all Android phones are expected to get this security patch sooner or later.

@Original-Jamaican, Nice to know, from your elaborated experience I think I will settle my quarrel with this 5.0 firmware update.
I hope this marshmallow update is for real, and not just a vapor ware.

It's nice to know that I inspire you to use a similar nickname. Big up. My nickname dates back to the 90s.
I got my S5 brand new out of the box running KitKat October last year. As a new phone the battery lasted long. On average it would take 10 minutes before the battery would lose 1% while browsing the internet on Wi-Fi.
In August that time decreased to around 3 minutes. I upgraded to Lollipop shortly after and on average the time before losing a percent has increased between 5-6 minutes. That's how I know Lollipop gives gives good battery life.

Bought my Galaxy s5 GM 900h official lollipop on this 27 of November, so far it has been the best of device I've had coming from an Exynos 4412 (galaxy s3) I think the octa-core variant is quiet powerful despite what others are saying about it's quad core variant.I believe the battery life was better in kit kat (even though my was originally in 5.0) because I can see long battery life in 5.0 so this convinces me that kit kat was a bit better.Regarding performance and battery life I always keep my in 'Power saving' mode and get speedy performance, I will recommend to uncheck the 'screen output' in the power saving mode to get be able to get a normal brightness production instead of the low screen brightness in give you.This machine whiles in power saving mode not only gives you speedy performance but also a better battery (let's hope marshmallow can reduce the total power consumption of the chipset to be able to UNLEASH THE 5422.Whats up Original-Jamacian. :-)
