        Don't care don't want it. My Note 4 will stay with Kitkat. The UI on Material Design is undesirable. We are happy to never get the update.

          Nexus 6 users must be laughing on us (N4 users), we spent nearly 10K more to buy this phone and still waiting for Android 5.0 update and they are enjoying hasselfree timely updates and a taste of Lollipop from the first day.

          I am really very disappointed from Samsung who always delay updating their flagship devices.

            All of the people complaining and saying that they don't care about VR are either don't know what VR is or don't know just how good the VR capability of the note 4 with Oculus software and full support. Either way, they need to be educated.

              This is already confirmed bullshit. Look at Reddit.

                This cannot be an excuse for delayed update on S5. Very bad. There has to an innovative solution to this update issue like people could get the Android update first and phone manufacturers can update it with their own software later and provide it to the users.

                  Is it impossible to put out info watning folks who have the vr...? For all its worth lolipop doesn't seem to change the note 4 much from how it is... but am looking forward to having even better battery life... it is completely shocking that an older device recueves the update.. b4 the flagship... i simply ask.. for good business sake.. how do u plan on keeping ur loyal customers loyal... after such shenanigans... i as well im sure many others realize that ur doing whats best for all us .. patience is hard.. we all simply hope that after all the waiting its gonna b a solid ota... pop.. and not a battery draining bust...

                                  VR IS the future. It's not just for amazing gaming, it's for much much more than that. And Samsung just allowed you to have it on the go. Respect that.

                                    If it's taking that long the least they can do is make it and update to 5.0.2.
