After releasing the latest version of the Android OS, Android 5.0 Lollipop, in Poland exclusively for Samsung Galaxy S5 users, it is now also available in South Korea, Samsung's home country.

According to Samsung, S5 models under SK Telecom, LG Uplus and KT will be the ones to receive the update.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5 LTE-A, Note 3 and S4 will be "Lollipopped" early next year.

Other models will be updated on a later date, according to reports.

New smartphones and tablets such as the Galaxy Note Edge, Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy Tab S should also be receiving the update next year.

Samsung spokesperson said in the interview that they have "thoroughly reviewed the stability of the operating system" for customers to get the best experience on their gadgets.

It looks like this promise is being met, as not many complaints about the Android Lollipop have been gaining attention.

The following are the Android 5.0 enhancements for the Samsung Galaxy S5 (model number: SM-G900K)

  • Material Design UI with Samsung TouchWiz on top
  • New lockscreen notifications
  • Improvement in battery life
  • Enhanced fingerprint recognition
  • Brand new clipboard tool for storing copied data/information and screenshots
  • Revamped native applications
  • Enhanced smartphone performance

As for the rolling out of the update in the U.S., Samsung is doing its best to bring it sooner rather than later to the country. However, it all depends on how easily Samsung will be able to carry it out with wireless carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile.

Galaxy S5 users in the United Kingdom, Europe and India should expect the update to be rolled out very soon.
