The international Samsung Galaxy S5 is receiving a new update as we speak which promises to improve the camera startup speed, gallery responsiveness and fingerprint recognition time.

The update is currently live in the UK and is expected to roll out gradually across all devices. According to Sammobile which have the update installed on a unit the camera is now faster to open, which can also be said about the gallery (which was a tad slow prior to the update).

The source also reports the fingerprint scanner is more accurate even with one-handed use.

Finally the update is said to bring a general performance boost and improved RAM management - a common side effect of firmware updates.

The software version remains at Android 4.4.2 and the update carries the version G900FXXU1ANE2. It's currently only available through Samsung's Kies software, but you can manually download and install if you know how.
