Verizon Galaxy S5 owners who have not received the update yet, can manually download and install it using the guide below. All you need is to download the relatively big update (1.6GB), and install it using the Odin PC software, download link available below.
The Lollipop update for Verizon Galaxy S5 also gets you new version of TouchWiz, that’s inspired from the Google’s material design in the Lollipop. Although, your Galaxy S5 running Lollipop will be very different to Nexus 5 running Lollipop, because Samsung’s own UI is slapped over the S5’s Lollipop update. We don’t like TouchWiz at all when it comes to UI, and there are already strong rumors of Samsung cutting down on TouchWiz to make it light-weight, more in tune with the Nexus 6.
We recently saw the Sprint Galaxy S5 get an Android 5.0 update, too, while the international variant powered by Snapdragon processor, model no. G900F, received it long back in November. Only yesterday, the Exynos powered international variant, model no. G900H, was also treated with Lollipop goodness.
Verizon would be distributing the Android 5.0 update over-the-air too, so if you want that, don’t do this. Only caveat is that you’ll have to wait for Verizon, and your chance, under the gradual rollout. If you are the impatient sort, sure go ahead and slap the Lollipop update on your Verizon Galaxy S5 right away.
That said, it’s a bitter pill to swallow for HTC One M8 users, who are yet to receive the update as their compatriot Galaxy S5 users get it. Adding salt to the pain, the international version of the One M8 also boasts Lollipop now.
Do have a look at the screenshots of the S5 Lollipop firmware to learn about the new User Interface, and redesigned apps.
