10 April, 2014
The update brings no new features, it's just there to add the finishing touches on Samsung's new flagship.

      regret user, 11 Apr 2014I have been using Samsung galaxy android for about 5 years ... moreI lost count of the amount of Samsung owners complaining about lag after the update. If it's not lag, the apps crash 95% of the time.

          I have been using Samsung galaxy android for about 5 years (Galaxy S and S3, and never have i got good experiences after updating the android firmware. It always launched later than other phone and never once is stable. It lags the phone after the update. Try to update at your own risk, trust me, Samsung Galaxy is better to use without updating the phone firmware.

                      I don't see or find any reason in changing my fone to Galaxy S5 cos Samsung really lack designs and inferior material. Best OEM phone is Htc and Apple.

                        TheMentalist, 10 Apr 2014Release now fix later. Samsung/Android, Sony/Android, Nokia... moreThat EXTREMELY includes IOS. Get with the program...In fact it has been heavily that way with it from the start. It took them over two years to be able to implement MMS and video recording for crying out loud. They only recently added some current things.

                          And even with the prior versions like S4 and Note 3 the Exynos version showed advantage in cpu.

                                can't wait to get mine in my hands tomorrow
                                it's white :)))
                                I have read lots of reviews comparing htc one, XZ2 to S5
                                but my conlusion was S5 cos it is the best overall phone

                                I don't like htc one and XZ2 because of their unergonomic and slippery designs ant esp the one of it's inferior camera and unreliable battery life. The htc one m7 had design issues and dead pixel problems I am sure the new one will have them too

                                As all of us now sony delayed xz2 because it overheated recording 4k videos :)))

                                  The launch in México was a few days a go, for be precisely at 8 of April, maybe because Samsung and Telcel are not only asociates, they are business partners in México and latinamerica, the promotion here is yoy get the handset for FREE in a 24 month contract, in a 60usd per month plan. I think we get better promotions compared to USA, hahahah.
