Hey guys,
I just picked up a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F 4 days ago, and I'm really enjoying the battery life, it's a definite step up from my S4. I was wondering if I should update from Android Kitkat 4.4.2 to Android Lollipop, but is it stable? Will it impact battery life?
Thanks in advance!

You have the international, G900F, model which is running stock Samsung firmware as opposed to some of the carrier minority variants, see 40 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide.

The complaint and problem ratio for the international model on Lollipop is one of the lowest worldwide and IMHO, is definitely worth updating to for the longer battery life and improved performance.

I would suggest backing up your phone, as it is new, and updating immediately you have read, S5 Lollipop Update Problems - Dummies Guide
