The Samsung Galaxy S5 is not exactly the newest phone on the block, and having said that, it is still a very decent flagship smartphone that is able to hold its own against some of the newer models out there in the market. While we have seen older Nexus devices get the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, the Samsung Galaxy S5 from Sprint continues to lag behind, where all of the long waiting time will finally be over as this particular smartphone model has just picked up the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update from Sprint.
This would make them to be the second carrier over in the US that delivers the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update to the Galaxy S5, with Verizon Wireless being the first slightly more than a couple of months prior. Apart from the usual slew of security patches as well as bug fixes, the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update will throw in support for international Wi-Fi calling as well as introduce an icon for HD Voice. This particular update will carry the build number G900PVPU1ANK4, and those who happen to rock to the Samsung Galaxy S5 on Sprint ought to be on the receiving end of a notification on their respective smartphones in due time, if they haven’t yet done so already.
