Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 Update to Arrive in October, Says Leaked Roadmap

If you happen to own a Samsung Galaxy S5 we have great news for you. According to a leaked roadmap, the Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 update will be rolled out this month.

As you can see in the table above, the testing of Android 4.4.4 update for Samsung Galaxy S5 has already been completed and it’s expected to hit the first devices later this month. The same table also reveals that the Android 4.4.4 update will be rolled out for both the Asian (G900I) and European (900F) variants of the device. As usual, the unlocked models will be the first to receive the new update, as carriers tend to delay new firmwares for further testing.

Since the Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 update is due this month, you should expect it to hit your device any moment now. You know the drill: once the system update message shows up in the notifications bar, tap on it, choose “Download Now,” then choose “Install now” after the download is completed. In case the system update notification failed to show up you would also want to perform a manual check under Settings > More > About phone > Software updates > Check for software updates. Alternatively, you can grab the USB cable and check for the update via KIES.

Unfortunately, the leaked document doesn’t reveal anything about the changes brought by the new update. Anyway, you shouldn’t expect anything major. The update it’s most likely about patching bugs, improving security, and overall system performance. You should also know that the update might also exceed 300 MB, so it’s recommended to download the update file using a stable WiFi network.

For what it’s worth, a recent report showed that Samsung is planning to bring the Android L update to the Galaxy S5 late November, or early December
