Help S4 Update

I recently bought my wife an 18 month old S4. Her Lumia 820 screen cracked again.
When I hooked the S4 to puter and Kies 3 to back up her stuff to Sammy, I noticed that there was an update waiting.
Hearing of so many phones being knackered with lollipop5, I have the update box unticked. ( As is my Note 4 )
I have googled the update number, but most entries are in a foreign language.
Phone is International S4, was running on THREE, but unlocked, and running with GiffGaff. UK
Up date number is
PDA:0D7/PHONE:0D7/CSC:OD1(H3G)

Can anyone please tell me if this is Lollipop5, or 5.0.1 or what ??
Thanks
 
This article from 6days ago says the s4 should get lollipop "soon' so if that's to be believed, it probably isn't lollipop..
Don't be scared of lollipop, in most cases any bugs can be cured by a system cache wipe or factory reset (although I'll admit I'm not familiar with Samsung's version)

EDIT scrap that.
From above article:
"while various European countries are seeing the update land on the Galaxy S4 LTE-A."
Is hers an "LTA-A"?
Best bet would be to Google 's4 update (build number)?"

Thanks Slug for the info. Brilliant. I was just wary of letting the update go on, and naffing up her phone. A fate too terrible to behold. :-)
Still waiting for 5.1 to turn up on my Note 4, but will wait a good while after for all the bugs to die off, lol.
