        Lollipop runs surprisingly well on Qualcomm socs and terrible on Exynos.

        I got S5 that is plagued by force close of many system apps, battery drains like crazy at times, several times the phone hanged and I had to pull the battery out.

        Samsung has some serious issues there. Please fix.

              That's what you get when you make your chipset closed source and not fully open.

                          Yeah that's how Samsung markets itself: release the update fast so that all websites bring it to news and praise Samsung. And later users complain of bugs and bugs and Samsung stops updates. Nothing new here, not happening for the first time.

                            I wonder what the issue is...? The North American release which I've been using is just fine.

                                  Samsung sending out "bad" updates for last years devices.. SO what's new??
                                  As an S3 user that "upgraded" to 4.3, I know how the user experience goes to hell once the newer flagship releases. I love what a beast the S6 is, but considering Samsung's BS update issues I'd be afraid to get it.
