The Samsung Galaxy S4 is now two and a half years old, and not only was it replaced by the Korean firm's 2014 flagship offering, the Galaxy S5, but the Samsung Galaxy S6 has also been on the market since March this year.
That means that the Galaxy S4 is now feeling a little long in the tooth. Samsung also made matters much worse by releasing the innovative Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
After all, not everyone wants a phone with top-end specs - if good value is more your bag then the 2013 Galaxy S4 is still worth a look - it's still on sale, at a lower price point of around £250 ($368, AU$483). It has also dropped in price on contract.
That isn't too bad for a handset that is still pretty impressive under the hood. Samsung is also continuing to support it by churning out brand new software updates for it.
Samsung was quick to upgrade the Galaxy S4 to Android 4.4 KitKat. Together with a few minor Samsung additions and modifications, it tightens things up behind the scenes for a slightly sprightlier navigation experience.
On top of that, you can now also upgrade the Galaxy S4 to Android 5.0 Lollipop. That means the latest version of the software is on a 2013 handset.
Apparently the new software is coming to all handsets in Europe at the moment, so we'll be nabbing the upgrade as soon as it hits our review model and updating this review to see how it affects battery life, speed and overall functionality on the now-budget handset.
If you've already got a Samsung Galaxy S4, head over to our guide on when to expect the Android 5.0 Lollipop upgrade. We update it constantly, so it's your best source for finding out when the new operating system will reach the Galaxy S4.
