Definitely wait until 5.1. Or 5.0.2 or whatever it is. I got an unbranded phone from Samsung (as replacement for my burnt out S4) and so never had any time with kitkat to make a true comparison.I updated my Samsung Galaxy S5 to Lollipop on Thursday via Kies, and its made my phone even worse. The lag is unbearable and last night i fully charged my phone and within 3 hours it was down to 7%. I've had to clear the cache partition multiple times. I think im going to do a clean install of Lollipop to see if that helps. If i was to give any advice i would wait for 5.1 before updating!
If I compare my lollipop S5 with my kitkat S4, then the replacement is slow, laggy, terrible battery life ... I'll post a picture of the main software using 2%, screen 1% and apps 1% and it's lost 6% (2% missing) and it's only been on for 30mins.
What is frustrating is all the reviews talk about video tests lasting 17 hours ... just don't see how that's possible unless EVERYTHING else is turned off which you can't do if you've not got a rooted phone.
