        I mean are you serious?
        The Exynos version hasn't got 4.4.4 still and we are talking about 5.0 ?
        I've lost all hopes on Samsung!
        I purchased a flagship hoping that there would be frequent updates.
        I mean, The battery sucks Big time!
        My phone goes dead with one hour of screen time. And they do nothing to rectify it.

        I guess I have to shift to HTC or Nexus.
        Adios Samsung

            Watched a video on Youtube by SAMMOBILE.
            The video shows the Android 5.0 running on S4-i9500, but the OS had some issue with Wifi and Camera. Hopefully they will resolve the issue soon and update will come for I9500.

                I don't know about you but once a company screwed me over with lack of support for a flagship, I will never support that company again.

If I get a flagship phone, I expect to get at least the next major Custom Overlay of the phone when the new Android version comes around. If it's not asking too much, at least update the phone to the latest version of their built-in apps like the weather widget, video and music players. I know they update some of the app like their video but why can't they do what Sony is doing with their built in apps?

                          Now I know Samsung is unfair!
                          Every Galaxy S lineup the Touchwiz is always not the same, like S4 and S5 why these phone are not the same in terms of UI but we know all of these is highend phone.

                                Samsung used to be great at supporting their flagships in terms of firmware updates. Their flagships experience at least three major firmware upgrades before

                                Galaxy S - Eclair, Froyo and Gingerbread
                                Galaxy S2 - Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jellybean

                                On top of that, they also manage to upgrade the Touchwiz Version of their flagships

                                But after starting with Galaxy S3, it now starts downhill. S3 didn't even get upgraded to Kitkat and the Touchwiz version is just partially upgraded, no new weather clock, just the re-designed settings menu
                                S4 didn't get a taste of the new S5 touchwiz

                                I am pretty sure Galaxy S5 won't get the new Touchwiz running S6

                                So there, I am not buying any Samsung flagship ever

                                  Anonymous, 04 Nov 2014Samsung Galaxy S2 when gets Lolipop?s2 doesn't taste kitkat only.. how can u expect lollipop for ur s2 they already forget s3 so don't expect support for s2. from next year they will forget s4itself

                                    Go first update for International Variant of S5 i9505 because most of users in Asia are use international version came from Samsung Store around in asia. Otherwise I will never buy any product of Samsung because you are unfair to the consumers. Its better to switch Nexus without any problem because no touchwiz needed.
