Better they do something about the security problems with Android devices. They leak like a sieve.

        I assume they mean't it will be updated in Deceober 2020 based on previous experience with Sansung updates, or rather the lack thereof?!

            I notice the background is white whatever is opened?? Hmmm thats very ugly and bad for battery. Super black backgrounds as on any Galaxy phones are Super! Also the AMOLED is brilliant on blacks so this will be a stupid update I believe.

              Paximon, 02 Oct 2014I can't for the life of me believe all these Samsung haters... moreI think it's good to say ur opinion if u have a Samsung device especially if u have one. Those that bash and don't use a Samsung device are ignorant.

                Hope Android L comes with themes. Like alot of people have said, I prefer the darker, high contrast look Skeet dark background. I might not even update my nexus if everything is light coloured.

                  I actually like that Samsung is making a brighter theme UI for the new Android Version, however i'm pretty sure that this kind of update is going to kill the battery very quickly ! Amoled needs dark UI altough i hate it, otherwise it'll not survive 6hrs of active use with a single charge !

                    I can't for the life of me believe all these Samsung haters. If you hate Samsung so much, you shouldn't own a device from them and if you don't, what's your business here bashing them unless you have an agenda.

                        Samsung is going to screw Android L up so badly. Touchwiz always sucks. It'll be supported right until the S6 is out, then the S5 will be forgotten.

                          Why!? Some people like the dark songs and it's a better advantage of Amoled.

                            I guess it will be official for i9506 after....2 years. The bright colors are gonna kill the battery faster, and on top of that the color scheme is disgusting. Cant they make a dark variation of Material Design, like the new Holo. They must also clean their files, the 4.4.2 version still has gingerbread files inside.

                                it looks like a mess when it is mixed with Samsung touchwiz UI!! it would be better with pure ANDROID L!!

                                  The build is for the Samsung SM-G900F therefore I think Samsung will skip the 4.4.4 update for this device. Hopefully it will come soon and it will fix many bugs such as the one from the fingerprint scanner time-out screen during reading..
