At the early part of December, 2014, Samsung officially began rolling out its Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Galaxy S5 in Poland.

Now, over a month later, the rollout continues, with the update now officially landing on the Galaxy S5 in the United Kingdom. The update itself is Android 5.0, and not, say, Android 5.0.1 or Android 5.0.2, but does obviously bring with it the Material Design upgrade in some aspects, along with all of the new features that Google included with its latest variant of the Android platform.

Of course, as is evident in the images above, Samsung’s TouchWiz UI is still very much in place.

As far as further rollout plans for the Galaxy S5, it would be reasonable to assume that the Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be finding its way to more devices, especially in Europe and other international countries, over the next several weeks. As far as the United States goes, one can hope that the software update is within the carrier’s testing stages, at the very least.
