      I have a Samsung galaxy s4 black edition it was a cool and energetic phone. I am used several galaxy s4 with in a year but I didn't feel any type of problems.
      It's a good and best phone.

At That Time All Want 4.4 Kitkat Update Because In S3 4.3 Battery Not Good And Samsung Dumped That Idea. So Beware And Wait Because "Lollipop" Not As Good Like "Kitkat" For Battery.

                  plz reply i am at present having samsung galaxy s4 with android 4.2.2 installed

                    The only false statements made by most of the users out here is that user assessable space reduced by 1 gb... Which is not true... Even now system is using 7.16 gb space and rest is being used by installed application's...

                        Finally,I updated my s4 black edition from service centre , its very nice , all things work very perfectly but only the problem is the battery drains a little bit more faster that on kitkat and phone is much and much faster than that of kitkat ,there are no bugs ,works buttery smooooooothhh , overall after update its damn good or can say just awesome ... , I loved it , i recommend all S4 black edition users just go for it n update it from service centre...

Difference is nothing but the Black Edition ROM would have some black themese. Now, coming to your battery issue - Check the following -
                              - Go to Google > Settings > Voice > Hot word detection ("OK Google) and confirm that the "Any Screen" option is disabled. It drains battery.
                              - Frequently close all running apps. To do this, long press Home button, go to Running Apps (Left most icon in the lower panel).. Click on "END ALL".
                              - For monitoring if any background app is draining ur battery, Install CPUSpy from Play Store. After a long usage of full charge (might be 16-20 hours), open CPUspy and check the frquency chart. "Deep sleep" (at the end of the list) should have the maximum value. If it is not, there must be some app running always in background. For farther investigation, you will need to root ur phone.

                                Here is my review of Lollipop after two days of use -

                                1. Battery life is Worse than KitKat (hope it improves)
                                2. Overall phone has become faster but there is homescreen and app drawer redrawing when many apps are opened up. This issue was not in KitKat.
                                3. Internal Memory has decreased by 1 GB
                                4. Screen Blinking issue is still present but intensity has decreased.
                                5. Expected Theme option in Lollipop like in new samsung phones but it's not in s4. Disappointed !

                                If you ask me, then Do Not Update now.
                                Maybe 1-2 more stability, bug fixing updates will improve the situation.

                                  I have S4 Black Edition
                                  I got my phone updated to Lollipop from service centre.
                                  Took around 30 minutes only.
                                  I was also having Generic Firmware in my Black edition as once the phone went to service centre the guys there flashed generic fw.
                                  So i received update officially via kies and ota.
                                  I recommend all Black Edition owners to get Lollipop installed from Service Centre.

But frequency of blinking now is less. On 4.4.2 it was too frequent, screen use to go black with digi clock on display fr micro seconds..& it use to repeat after every 5-10 mins break.
                                      Now it only blinks suddenly anytime.
