    You can throttle the CPU by yourself by enabling the POWER SAVING feature...not the Ultra Power Saving one...the regular one which still allows you to do everything in colour but at a lower CPU clock speed.

      Really,it did free up more storage ?
      i also had the February security update long ago,just recently i formatted my phone,cleared caches and when i checked my available storage (without installing any apps) i had 9.9GB surprisingly.But apart from that nothing bad to write about,i wish the march security update improves throttling of the cpu cores more further so less strain on battery,let's say 1.8GHZ as max :-)

        The last update I received for my S5 (February patch) was a cool one. It cleaned up my storage. Before the update, 7.60GB storage space was used up. After the update it went down from 7.60GB to 7.13GB. That's basically a 500MB trim. All of my personal files were still in tact so I have to commend Samsung for doing a wonderful job with these updates.

        Each update seems to improve the device better whether it be in speed or more storage not to mention secure the device against the latest threats. It's a win win situation any way you look at it.

            It's funny how the basically three year old S5 features 4k 2160p video recording and it's just now most of the competition is catching up. For example, the Huawei P10 flagship which just got released in this month is the first in the P series line to have 4K video recording. It took Huawei three years to catch up Samsung in the video recording department. I have always said that the Galaxy S lead by example. The Galaxy S always contains more features than the average consumer needs which is a good thing anyway you look at it.

                                      Honestly I haven't seen anything that surpasses the S5 yet. I'm just not impressed with the current crop of smartphones. If a good upgrade comes along that I plan on getting, I will be sure to let you know but currently a lot of people say the S5 is still currently the best.
