387MB download took me from version 5.0 to version 5.0 :wtf:
I've noticed that the motion when swiping between home screens is different but I just can't put my finger on it.

Hmmm... I see what you did there. You make a good point.
Marshmallow, Marshmallow, wherefore art thou Android Marshmallow
/looks at a long list of 5.0 on sammobile
EDIT: I see G900M devices are receiving OTA 6.01 and sammobile has that device's firmware.... let's hope it is not too long for our 2 handset's firmware versions to appear!

Samsung S5 ADH premium is still the best there was compared to all the devices.
After my now ex borrowed my S5 and I cought him with tons of pictures and messages of him and is ex doing **** on my bed and in my flat while I'm at work, he got angry and smashed my S5 into the ground in front of me. Smashed it so hard the actual LCD broke through the touch screen digitizer.
Claimed with ADH premium and they collected the device even the courier said OMG it's the worst he seen before and he doubts it would get fixed.
Well got a call and the phone has been repaired and only 1 claim used. Expecting delivery on Wednesday.

Premium ADH is what sold me on the S5. Yes, Hauwei P8 was newer and prettier and possibly faster, but with ADH, I have 2x replacements in my pocket for 2 years the courier+loan device is worth big bucks!
Re your post - that is great service from them!

I heard that the P8 also has a screen repair warranty. Will look online now and report back

Yeah, but only 1x and only in the first 12 months, whereas S5 has 2 and valid for the full 24 month warranty. Also, Huawei service is a bit of an unknown whereas the Samsung courier service is superb!

It's two in 24 months. Same as Samsung.
I've had amazing service with one of their repair centers in Bedfordview. They repaired my water damaged P8 Lite in less than 30 mins while I waited and also apologized for being too slow

I stand corrected. That is very decent!

. The products have come a long way since the P6.

Sounds like a great guy

Now I want a P8
Now I want a P8
Or a Mate S.
Now I want a P8
Sigh, 64hrs battery endurance for P8 and 60hrs for Mate S.
That simply won't do after S5 (83hrs)

I don't believe that's real time usage. I've had the P8 and a few S5s and I don't recall much of a difference
Anyone ever experience a creaking battery cover? If I twist the chassis of the phone the back creaks like crazy. I think it is the waterproof gasket in the back cover but my wife's 18 month old S5 does not so it.

How often have you removed the cover? Mine creates when I push down on it. I think most of the S5s I had did creak
