It is a little over a year ago since I started this thread which has been updated with all the
Lollipop, Android 5.*, releases for the main line models of the Galaxy S5. As we can see over the last few weeks, the number of
Lollipop releases has slowed down to a trickle as Samsung gear up for the launch of
Marshmallow, Android 6.0.1. See,
here.
If nothing else, this thread shows how hard Samsung work to ensure that their firmware is up-to-date and that bug fixes and security updates are passed on. When this thread is read in conjunction with
42 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide, it can also be seen which models receive regular updates and which ones lag behind, (no comment!), as well as Samsung's dedication to their product. My own worldwide, international, model,
G900F, unbranded for the United Kingdom has received no less than 8 updates for Lollipop... or about 1 every 6 weeks, before moving on to Marshmallow.
By my count, for the mainline Galaxy S5 models mentioned in
#1.3,
#1.4,
#1.5 and
#1.6 of the
42 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide the number of releases has been...
914
Thanks for reading. Hope this thread has helped some of you. Hopefully, it has stopped all those posts about Samsung not offering firmware updates.
