If you’ve got a Galaxy S5 on Sprint, the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop update is coming your way today, Samsung has promised. The release will include everything that you would expect to see in a Lollipop upgrade, plus a few extra features specifically for Sprint devices.

The upgrade will come with build number G900PVPU1AOA6, and as always, it’ll be distributed over-the-air. It comes just days after Verizon began rolling out Lollipop for its own Galaxy S5, which, like Sprint’s, is a CDMA variant.

In addition to things like lock screen notifications, improved multitasking, and support for multiple user profiles, this update will bring an enhanced user interface for Voice over Wi-Fi, and it will remove the Lumen toolbar that hardly anyone was a fan of.

Big updates like this one don’t usually reach all users in one day, so don’t be too surprised if you have to wait a couple of days for it to reach you. At least you’re getting it before those with a GSM handset on AT&T or T-Mobile, who are usually first in line.
