Lollipop 5.0 is available for the Samsung Galaxy S5 in the UK. Availability may depend on your operator.

Please post your experiences.

not for the LTE-A model (EE model).

So far not finding it much different to use
Basically most of the menus are WHITE backgrounds...not sure if i prefer this look
Some apps aren't yet 100% optimised for it & stop responding
Oh and the finger print scanner has been further optimised & it is certainly a lot better
The phone is possibly a tad more responsive
Text message layout much improved

There's probably other things but i've not spotted them yet

Same for me too (LTE-A Model on Netherlands unbranded firmware) do you know if the EE firmware is also unbranded?

It has no custom boot screen if thats what you mean, it seems to be stock but with MYEE app preinstalled.

When will It be available for EE? So frustrating the way their get treat.

Ha, and today I get my KitKat update on my S4 mini

I haven't got it yet. I'm using a 3 branded S5 but on EE.

Nothing on mine.

I'm using the sim-free international model, based in Essex, England.

Guys it seems if you want lollipop currently on you're s5 you need to do it via Samsung kies

There's nothing on that either.

From what i have been told Three have not got the update yet, and by the time they do get it and put the bloatware on it they should be releasing it sometime in June 2016

I got the update yesterday via keys. Phone is running horrible. Lagging all over the shop. Gonna factory reset and see if that helps

If I have to download kies my phone will be staying on Kitkat

Having learnt from previous experience, I always now factory reset BEFORE doing any upgrade. Think you may find that doing it after the event, does little to fix things. Personally, unless an upgrade offers significantly better features, better to stick with the shipped firmware.

But good luck anyway..

Bloatware like the preloaded Google Play services that was only 5+ MB big when you first bought your phone, now nearly 60MB after the latest updates from google play store and also including added cache and data. And it will get even bigger with more and more updates. Same with all of other preloaded apps are much bigger in size than when you bought it. And you can't just move them all over to an SD drive, and many other apps you download from Google Playstore can only be installed to your internal storage.

The internal storage of your smartphone is effectively shrinking after every google play store update.

That's just f****** great 😈

Its live now, i upgraded to lollipop yesterday

Is that by Kies or OTA? If Kies I'll check it tomorrow. Thanks.

Tried lollipop on my oneplusone, seems many backward steps in the OS.

Also the software button icons are weird for it.

I've tried the Kies and OTA updates and it's still not available.

Samsung Galaxy S5 (UK) - International Version - sim free model

I just checked OTA and its downloading 924MB update so we will see if its lollipop and see how it goes... If its laggy kitkat is getting reflashed

S5 on 3

Got it on my HTC one M8 and finding it slow.

Got it on my S5 OTA. All fine here with no lag 👍

Still nothing.
