Samsung Galaxy S5: How to Update Device Software to Android 5.0 Lollipop via Over the Air

You can easily update firmware in your Samsung Galaxy S5 to Android 5.0 Lollipop via over the air (OTA). However, since downloading software via a mobile network may result in additional charges, it's recommended for you to use a Wi-Fi connection when downloading software. You have to remember that this update requires at least 3GB of free space in your phone and also make sure that your battery is fully charged or at least 70% so that your phone won't turn off while downloading or updating software.
