Verizon is rolling out Android 5.0 for Samsung's Galaxy S5

It's nothing like the experience you'd get using a Nexus 6 or Moto X Pure Edition, but Verizon Wireless is in the process of rolling out an Android 5.0 software update for Samsung's Galaxy S5.

I just got 4.4.4 and then 5.0 one after the other last week on my Sprint S5. Literally one after the other. It does seem a little smoother for me, but my S3 with CM11 seemed smoother day to day. I like SHealth and some of the newer functions, but might go back to Cyanogenmod this summer.
