The intention of writing this post is to bring back to Galaxy S4 what Samsung has left behind with the Lollipop update. Both devices Galaxy S4 and S5 received a Lollipop update but in the S4 it looks like Samsung has released an update but not with all the featured apps.
This is not a good thing from Samsung which have dropped out support for many devices and its only updating the lasts released. Even when it release updates for few devices, it still forget to port all the features and optimizations. But we use Android and everything is possible. Even though Samsung hasn’t ported the featured apps of Galaxy S5 to S4 in the Lollipop update.
