Samsung is usually hit or miss with software updates. It usually manages to keep its newest devices pretty current, but the rate at which older devices are updates is dismal.
So far, Samsung has kept mum on the issue, with no official word on dates or which devices will actually see the update.
That said, it’s a safe bet the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S5 (and its several variants), the Galaxy S4, and most devices under 18-months-old will all receive the update. When the might see it is another matter entirely. Again, rumors claim the S5 will see its update before the end of the year. That particular rumor comes from SamMobile, which has a very solid track record for accurate Samsung rumors and news. lets have a look on there video.
Others predict the Note 4 could also be upgraded in the same timeframe, but that still isn’t taking into consideration the update approval process by the controlling wireless providers stateside.
The Android Soul created a time table on expected arrival dates for the Android 5.0 updates for various Samsung devices, based on its existing history with updates. It expects the Note 4 to be updated in January or February, February or March for Sprint, and March or April for the the AT&T and T-Mobile variants. It should come as no surprise that the Verizon version of the Galaxy Note 4 comes in last with an expected arrival date of May or June. The Galaxy S5 and Note Edge update predictions are virtually identical, while last year’s models of the same devices are expected to lag about three months behind.
Here we have a list from International Business Time showing expected dates when Samsung mobiles are getting lollipop.
