Sm-g900v 5.1

Hello! I was talking to one of my friends today and he had android 5.1 or 5.0.1 lollipop on his Verizon Galaxy S5, but I didn't receive the update yet and read online that it hasn't been release yet. He said he wasn't rooted and didn't flash anything. Has it been officially released?

Sounds like it should still be 5.0, since the original rollout in February was suspended due to some issues. See this article: Verizon restarts Android 5.0 Lollipop rollout for Galaxy S5 | TechnoBuffalo
